For more than 30 years, "Current Topics in Developmental
Biology" has provided a forum for dissemination and discussion of
new ideas and thought in developmental biology. Bringing together a
series of articles on the structural, functional, and developmental
characteristics of epithelials, this thematic volume represents a
timely and valuable contribution to an exciting and
multidisciplinary field of study. Because defects in epithelial
function and growth control play a major role in human
disease-cancerous tumors, spina bifida, cardiac malformations, for
example-this volume will be of particular interest to researchers
working in cancer drug design and development and those working in
therapeutic areas to treat developmental abnormalities.
Coverage of current research findings and thought on cell-cell
and cell-extracellular matrix interactions gives researchers a
better understanding of the processes of remodeling and
morphogenesis, which are critical to the development of drugs aimed
at disrupting the early formation and proliferation of cancerous
tumors.
Inclusion of chapters that discuss the most contemporary thought
on cell polarity and tissue morphogenesis, providing researchers
with a better understanding of the control of cellular organization
and polarity (particularly important to researchers who are
developing treatments for developmental abnormalities and those
working in cancer drug development).
Use of a variety of animal models, allowingresearchers to
compare and contrast the molecular mechanisms that underlie
cell-cell and cell-extracelluar matrix interactions in a variety of
research models."
