Developmental Biology
Author:Scott F. Gilbert, Michael J. F. Barresi
Edition:11th Edition
Examining how organisms grow from a single cell into complex structures, this text connects gene expression, cell signaling, and tissue formation to developmental processes. It explores patterning, differentiation, and morphogenesis across species while highlighting the roles of environment, evolution, and disease in shaping development.
