Branching morphogenesis, the creation of branched structures in
the body, is a key feature of animal and plant development. This
book brings together, for the first time, expert researchers
working on a variety of branching systems to present a
state-of-the-art view of the mechanisms that control branching
morphogenesis. Systems considered range from single cells, to blood
vessel and drainage duct systems to entire body plans, and
approaches range from observation through experiment to detailed
biophysical modelling. The result is an integrated overview of
branching.

Skills-focused resources to support the study of Cambridge
International AS and A Level Psychology (9990) for first
examination in 2018. This vibrant coursebook is tailored to the
Cambridge International AS and A Level Psychology (9990) syllabus
for first examination in 2018 and is endorsed by Cambridge
International Examinations. It contains rigorous, comprehensive
coverage at the most appropriate level of depth and detail for the
course. The coursebook contains extra focus on the key concepts of
research methods and ethics as well as crucial debates such as
nature versus nurture. The content encourages the development of
necessary skills of analysis, interpretation, application and
evaluation and promotes understanding of ethical and moral issues
and their implications for psychological research.

Morphogenesis is the set of processes that generate shape and
form in the embryo--an important area within developmental biology.
An exciting and up-to-the-minute account of the very latest
research into the factors that create biological form, "Mechanisms
of Morphogenesis," second edition is a text reference on the
mechanisms of cell and tissue morphogenesis in a diverse array of
organisms, including prokaryotes, animals, plants and fungi.
By combining hard data with computer modeling, "Mechanisms of
Morphogenesis," second edition equips readers with a much broader
understanding of the scope of modern research than is otherwise
available. The book focuses on the ways in which the genetic
program is translated to generate cell shape, to direct cell
migration, and to produce the shape, form and rates of growth of
the various tissues. Each topic is illustrated with experimental
data from real systems, with particular reference to gaps in
current knowledge and pointers to future
* Includes over 200 four-color figures
* Offers an integrated view of theoretical developmental biology
and computer modelling with laboratory-based discoveries
* Covers experimental techniques as a guide to the reader
* Organized around principles and mechanisms, using them to
integrate discoveries from a range of organisms and systems
Written primarily for mid-to-upper level undergraduates, this
primer will introduce students to topics at the forefront of the
subject that are being applied to probe biological problems, or to
address the most pressing issues facing society. These topics will
include those that form the cornerstone of contemporary research,
helping students to make the transition to active researcher. This
primer introduces the challenges and opportunities of applying
synthetic biological techniques to mammalian cells, tissues, and
organisms. It covers the special features that make engineering
mammalian systems different from engineering bacteria, fungi, and
plants, and provides an overview of current techniques. A variety
of cutting-edge examples illustrate the different purposes of
mammalian synthetic biology, including pure biomedical research,
drug production, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.
