Essential Developmental Biology
Author:Jonathan M. W. Slack
Edition:3rd Edition
Examining how organisms form and differentiate, this text explores the genetic and cellular mechanisms that guide development from early stages to mature structures. It connects experimental approaches with model organisms to illustrate processes such as patterning, organ formation, and regeneration, highlighting the links between development, disease, and evolution.
