Cell-Cell Signaling in Development, Volume 150 covers new approaches and topics surrounding the diversity of animals, with recognized species now in the millions. Remarkably, the many distinct morphologies in the metazoan biosphere are generated by only a small number of genetically-encoded signaling systems that organize cells into patterned tissues, principally, the Wnt, Hedgehog, Bone morphogenic protein, fibroblast growth factor, Notch/Delta, and planar polarity systems whose roles orchestrating morphogenesis are widespread and evolutionarily conserved. Users will find the latest information on these elegant systems, along with conceptual links to signaling in plants and ideas that are emerging from recent progress. Presents the newest information on signaling proteins of animal development Covers the processes that make and distribute signaling proteins Includes coverage of cell-cell interactions that pattern tissues

A compendium that provides assessment of critical issues related to erythroid biology. It integrates developmental, epigenetic, methodological, biochemical, and clinical aspects to provide an overview of their interrelationships and importance to the generation of the red cell. It offers a discussion of red cells.

This volume considers research in developmental biology. It is aimed at researchers of animal and plant development.

Protein Kinases in Development and Disease discusses and reviews important, but often neglected, kinases. A good representation of current model organisms from plants and C. elegans to mice are used as the basis to illustrate how we can use our understanding of normal development to learn about disease.Reviews kinases, the fundamental regulators of most biological processes that have key roles in the development of all organismsIncludes a broad scope of topics that are addressedAllows researchers and newcomers to this research area to gain a thorough picture of the current knowledge

In 2016 Current Topics in Developmental Biology (CTDB) will celebrate its 50th or "golden┐ anniversary.á 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.á 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.á Overall, the essays provide critical reviews and discussion of developmental processes for a variety of model organisms.á Many essays relate the history of a particular area of research, others personal experiences in research, and some are quite philosophical.á 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.Covers the area of developmental processes for a variety of model organismsInternational board of authors Part of two 50th Anniversary volumes proving a comprehensive set of reviews edited by Serial Editor Paul M. Wassarman

Presents articles on developmental biology and developmental medicine. This volume contains reviews useful for clinical and fundamental researchers, as well as students and other professionals.
