New Frontiers in Developmental Biology - Leonardo Reeves - Bog

The study of the process through which animals and plants develop and grow is known as developmental biology. There are various aspects which are covered under developmental biology such as asexual reproduction, metamorphosis and the biology of regeneration. Some of the processes which are studied under this discipline are morphogenesis, cell differentiation and regional specification. Research in developmental biology makes use of a small number of model organisms. These non-human organisms are chosen with the aim that discoveries which are made in the study of these models will provide insights into the workings of other organisms. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of developmental biology which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
