This new volume of "Current Topics in Developmental Biology"
covers recent progresses in our understanding of animal
metamorphosis. Over a dozen of leading experts reviews studies
ranging from morphological, molecular to genetic analyses of
metamorphosis in a broad spectrum of animals, including insects,
fish.Topicsinclude molecular evolution in metamorphosis, the
synthesis and function of hormones in regulating metamorphic timing
and rate, regulation and function of nuclear hormone receptors,
neuroendocrine control of metamorphosis, tissue specific
metamorphic events such as autophagy and stem cell development, and
applications of genome-wide analysis technologies for studying
metamorphosis.
First comprehensive review of the metamorphosis in diverse animal
species by leading experts in the fieldCovers a broad range of
subjects: from morphological changes, molecular and genetic
studies, to cutting-edge technologies for metamorphic studies; from
systematic changes to tissue specific events, such as autophagy and
stem cell development, which are areas of enormous interest in
contemporary biomedical researchServes as a reference book for
undergraduate and graduate students in fields across biology and
biomedicine"
