Essays on Developmental Biology Part A

In 2016 Current Topics in Developmental Biology (CTDB) will celebrate its 50th or "golden� anniversary.� To commemorate the founding of CTDB by Aron Moscona (1921-2009) and Alberto Monroy (1913-1986) in 1966, a two-volume set of CTDB (volumes 116 and 117), entitled Essays on Development, will be published by Academic Press/Elsevier in early 2016.� The volumes are edited by Paul M. Wassarman, series editor of CTDB, and include contributions from dozens of outstanding developmental biologists from around the world.� Overall, the essays provide critical reviews and discussion of developmental processes for a variety of model organisms.� Many essays relate the history of a particular area of research, others personal experiences in research, and some are quite philosophical.� Essays on Development provides a window onto the rich landscape of contemporary research in developmental biology and should be useful to both students and investigators for years to come.
