How do hormones and growth factors regulate animal growth in the
developing embryo and after injury? What processes at the molecular
level determine the growth patterns of different tissues? In this
diverse synthesis of recent research the regulation of growth in
response to environmental and genetic stimuli is discussed at the
level of the animal, tissues and cells. Contrasts are drawn between
regulation in foetal and adult tissues, and in different tissues
such as the CNS, bone and muscle. Functional chapters focus on the
molecular links between mechanical tension and muscle growth, for
example, while other chapters review the roles of specific
molecules such as growth hormone. This state-of-the-art review will
be of significant interest to graduate students and research
scientists in the fields of animal growth, endocrinology and cell
biology.
