Developmental Biology of Fern Gametophytes
Av V. Raghavan, Jonathan B. L. Bard
Häftad, 2005
944 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The aim of the series is to present relatively short accounts of areas of developmental and cell biology where sufficient information has accumulated to allow a considered distillation of the cells. This book studies the developmental biology of fern gametophytes, from their beginning through …

Spatial Determination in the Early Development of Animals
Av Robert Wall, Jonathan B. L. Bard
Häftad, 2005
1465 kr
Lägg i varukorg
During animal development the descendants of a single cell form many different tissues and organs in appropriate positions within an embryo. To do this they must recognise their position, and this book examines our knowledge of how this is done. It starts by considering how much spatial pattern is …
Meiosis
Av Bernard John
Häftad, 2005
960 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Meiosis, the antithesis of fertilization, is the unique genetically programmed mode of nuclear division associated with a halving of the chromosome number in sexually reproducing eukaryotes. It thus represents a key cellular and developmental pathway in the life of an organism. In this book, …
Imaginal Discs
The Genetic and Cellular Logic of Pattern Formation
Av Lewis I. Held Jr, Jonathan B. L. Bard
Häftad, 2005
1090 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Many of the 14,000 genes of Drosophila are involved in the development of imaginal discs. These hollow sacs of cells make adult structures during metamorphosis, and their study is crucial to comprehending how a larva becomes a fully-functioning fly. This book examines the genetic circuitry of the …

'I had the good fortune to behold for the first time that fantastic ending of the growing axon. In my sections of the spinal cord of the three day chick embryo, this ending appeared as a concentration of protoplasm of conical form, endowed with amoeboid movements. It could be compared with a living …

Cytokinesis is the division of the cell body that follows the sorting and transport of chromosomes. This book traces the history of some of the major ideas in the field and gives an account of our current knowledge of animal cytokinesis. It contains descriptions of division in different kinds of …
Kinetic Theory of Living Pattern
Av Lionel G. Harrison, Jonathan B. L. Bard
Häftad, 2005
924 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Development of the shapes of living organisms and their parts is a field of science in which there are no generally accepted theoretical principles. What form these principles are likely to take, when they emerge, is a subject in which there is a wide gulf of disagreement between physical …
Organogenesis of the Kidney

Häftad, 2006
781 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This description of a model system for cell differentiation and organogenesis is written by one of the foremost researchers in the area. The main emphasis is on the mammalian kidney, but the book also deals with the development of the transien excretory organs. It includes discussions of induction, …
The Consequences of Chromosome Imbalance
Principles, Mechanisms, and Models

This book considers in detail the mechanisms of a major human problem. Chromosome imbalance affects all stages of life in ways ranging from spontaneous abortion and retardation to behavioural problems and malignancy. Charles J. Epstein concerns himself with how and why a particular chromosome …
The Neural Crest

Häftad, 2009
828 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This 1999 edition of The Neural Crest contains comprehensive information about the neural crest, a structure unique to the vertebrate embryo, which has only a transient existence in early embryonic life. The ontogeny of the neural crest embodies the most important issues in developmental biology, …
Dictyostelium
Evolution, Cell Biology, and the Development of Multicellularity
Häftad, 2010
796 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Dictyostelia are soil amoebae capable of extraordinary feats of survival, motility, chemotaxis, and development. Characterised by their ability to transform from a single-celled organism into an elaborate assemblage of thousands of synchronously-moving cells, Dictyostelids are often referred to as …
