Current Topics in Developmental Biology

In the embryonic stage of a multicellular organism, precise
arrangements of different cell types arise. These cell types
eventually become the tissues and organs of the organism if it
is an animal, for instance. Developmental biology is the study
of this process in both plants and animals and covers the entire
development stage of the organism. Current Topics in
Developmental Biology provides a comprehensive survey of the
major topics in this rapidly advancing field. 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. With over
thirty years of publication, this series is the longest-running
forum for contemporary issues in developmental biology.
