The chapters contained in this two-volume set provide a broad
perspective on the novel strategies and conceptual paradigms that
drive the current resurgence of interest in somitogenesis - the
process by which somites form and elaborate differentiated tissues
and structures. Because somites are a ubiquitous feature of
vertebrate embryos, they can be studied in a variety of
experimental animal models including those amenable to genetic
(zebrafish, mammalian), molecular/genetic (mammalian, avian) as
well as those already well established for classical experimental
embryological and cell biological studies (amphibians, avian). The
wide variety of experimental approaches to somitogenesis that are
presented in these volumes will leave the reader with a broad
perspective on how current research in somitogenesis is helping to
solve fundamental questions in vertebrate development and
morphogenesis.
Key Features
* Novel transcriptional mechanisms that control repetitive pattern
formation
* Wide-scale genetic screens for mutations affecting
somitogenesis
* Molecular/genetic control of pattern and tissue formation during
somitogenesis
* Transplantation of mouse embryo somites
* Classical embryological approaches and concepts
* Evolutionary perspectives on somitogenesis
Current Topics in Developmental Biology provides a comprehensive
survey of the major topics in the field of developmental biology.
The volumes are valuable to researchers in animal and plant
development, as well as to students and professionals who want an
introduction to cellular and molecular mechanisms of development.
The series has recently passed its 30-year mark, making it the
longest-running forum for contemporary issues in developmental
biology.
The editors present, in a single volume, a valuable reference
source for students of mammalian embryology, genetics, and
physiology, this book provides a thorough overview of the field of
embryonic development - its current status along with possible
directions in the future.
