Advances in Terrestrial Isopod Biology
Terrestrial isopods (woodlice) are the only group of crustaceans fully adapted to life on land and with about 3,700 species known at present represent the largest suborder of Isopoda. They occur in almost any kind of terrestrial habitat, from littoral to high mountains, from forests to deserts, with some species adapted to live in subterranean environments and others secondarily having returned to water. Woodlice are particularly important from a biogeographical and an ecological point of view, since they have limited dispersal ability, are often endemic to small geographic areas, and are extremely diverse ecologically.ÿThey also represent en excellent model group of animals to study the ph...
Plant Development
A subgroup of homeobox genes, which play an important role in the developmental processes of a variety of multicellular organisms, Hox genes have been shown to play a critical role in vertebrate pattern formation. Hox genes can be thought of as general purpose control genes—that is, they are similar in many organisms and direct the same processes in a variety of organisms, from mouse, to fly, to human. - Provides researchers an overview and synthesis of the latest research findings and contemporary thought in the area - Inclusion of chapters that discuss the evolutionary development of a wide variety of organisms - Gives researchers and clinicians insight into how defective Hox genes trigger developmental abnormalities in embryos
Growth Factors in Development
This new volume of the renowned serial Current Topics in Developmental Biology covers the important features of growth factors in development. With an international board of authors, this volume will be invaluable for researchers in cell, developmental and molecular biology. - Provides researchers an overview and synthesis of the latest research findings and contemporary thought in the area - This volume provides an up-to-date and timely perspective
Development of Neural Circuitry
The nervous system is highly complex both in its structural order and in its ability to perform the many functions required for survival and interaction with the environment; understanding how it develops has proven to be one of the greatest challenges in biology. Such precision demands that key events at every developmental stage are executed properly and are coordinated to produce the circuitry underlying each of the adult nervous system's functions. This volume describes the latest research on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neural circuitry development, while providing researchers with a one-stop overview and synthesis of contemporary thought in the area. Reviews current researc...
Heart Development
The developing heart is the first functional organ, and its proper formation and function is essential for life. This volume compiles the exciting new advances that have been made in understanding the regulation of heart development, the genes and pathways involved, and the impact these have in heart disease. A stellar collection of scientists tackles an important facet of heart development, providing a comprehensive set of reviews. Cutting-edge science Authority of contributors Exciting field of research
Forces and Tension in Development
This book presents some of the most advanced experimental systems in which the role of forces has been dissected. It explores the physical principles accounting for how forces can affect soft matter such as our cells, and presents some of the methods used to measure or assess the role of forces. - Presents some of the most advanced experimental systems in which the role of forces has been dissected - Explores the physical principles accounting for how forces can affect soft matter such as our cells, and presents some of the methods used to measure or assess the role of forces - Appeals to both physicists eager to get familiar with biological systems and to biologists curious about the physical principles behind what they observe
Myogenesis
Myogenesis is the formation of muscular tissue, in particular during embryonic development. This new volume in the "Current topics in Developmental Biology" series covers chapters on such topics as Control of nuclear import during myogenesis, Pathways contributing to fibrosis in skeletal muscle, and Ferlin family members in myogenesis. With an international team of authors, this volume is a must-have addition for researchers and students alike.

Sex Determination and Sexual Development
This volume reviews our current understanding for how sex determination is initiated and how it results in sexual dimorphic development. Chapters discussing work on different model systems provide a basis for understanding similarities that exist between different species. Coverage includes discussion of sexual development of the soma in C. elegans; sexual development of the germline in C. elegans; sexual development of the soma in Drosophila; sexual development of the germline in Drosophila; sexual development of the soma in the mouse; sexual development of the germline in the mouse; control of sex-specific behavior in Drosophila; and control of sex-specific behavior in vertebrates. - Uncovers the latest research findings on sexual determination and sexual development - Model systems illustrate key sexual similarities - Explores in-depth the origins of sex specific behavior
MicroRNAs in Development

Organogenesis in Development
Understanding organogenesis is central to current efforts to direct stem cell differentiation and function in the context of a complex organ. Defects in organogenesis are often the major manifestations of human genetic disease syndromes. This volume describes the development of 10 major organ systems, reviewed by experts in each, to provide an up-to-date overview for researchers within and outside the field, students, teachers and clinicians. - Summarizes the key morphological and cellular events - Emphasizes up-to-date research relating to molecular control mechanisms - Draws on a range of model vertebrates and contemporary experimental approaches, including lessons learnt from human developmental disease - Distils common themes and differences for comparative studies - Highlights key remaining questions and sets the agenda for future research
