Current Topics in Developmental Biology: Tissue Remodeling and Epithelial Morphogenesis : Volume 89 (Series #89) (Hardcover)

For more than 30 years, Current Topics in Developmental Biology has provided a forum for dissemination and discussion of new ideas and thought in developmental biology. Bringing together a series of articles on the structural, functional, and developmental characteristics of epithelials, this thematic volume represents a timely and valuable contribution to an exciting and multidisciplinary field of study. Because defects in epithelial function and growth control play a major role in human disease--cancerous tumors, spina bifida, cardiac malformations, for example--this volume will be of particular interest to researchers working in cancer drug design and development and those working in therapeutic areas to treat developmental abnormalities.
