This book, first published in 1990, provides an overview of the events and mechanisms of morphogenesis.
The Anatomical Basis of Mouse Development by Kaufman and Bard is an essential anatomical resource for developmental biologists needing to know about any aspect of mouse developmental anatomy, as well as for geneticists using the mouse embryo as a model. This book is a companion to Kaufman's The Atlas of Mouse Development and details the developmental anatomy of the early embryo, the transitional tissues, and all the major organ systems. It also includes extensive reference indexes detailing developmental stage criteria, when tissues first appear, and the constituent tissues of embryos at each of the 26 Theiler stages, as well as tissue and author indexes and a glossary. Key features: * Gives...
Organogenesis of the kidney has been intensely studied for over a century. In recent years advances in molecular techniques have not only made great inroads into exploring the genetic regulation of this complex process but also began to unravel the molecular basis of many forms of congenital kidney disease. This book is a comprehensive study on these findings and the only book available with such in depth coverage of the kidney. - Hundreds of color figures depicting key events in all aspects of kidney development - Full coverage of the genetic and cellular basis of kidney development - Analysis of the genetic basis of the major congenital kidney diseases
This Series provides a comprehensive survey of the major topics in the field of developmental biology. The volumes are valuable to researchers in animal and plant development, as well as to students and professionals who want an introduction to cellular and molecular mechanisms of development. This year marks a major milestone for the Series as it completes its thirtieth year of publication, making it the longest-running forum for contemporary issues in developmental biology.
This book demonstrates how an understanding of biological kinetics can lead to knowledge about the biological model being examined.
As the amount of biological information and its diversity accumulates massively there is a critical need to facilitate the integration of this data to allow new and unexpected conclusions to be drawn from it. The Semantic Web is a new wave of web- based technologies that allows the linking of data between diverse data sets via standardised data formats (“big data”). Semantic Biology is the application of semantic web technology in the biological domain (including medical and health informatics). The Special Topic encompasses papers in this very broad area, including not only ontologies (development and applications), but also text mining, data integration and data analysis making use of ...
Polyethylene Glycol as an Embedment for Microscopy and Histochemistry is the first book devoted to discussing polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a biological sample embedment for microscopy (EM and LM). Its contributors are international authorities in all areas of investigation using PEG as an embedding medium. The book provides broad coverage of a variety of methods, including low molecular PEG-cryosection, agarose block section-transferring technique, PEG section for scanning electron microscopy, nucleic acid in situ hybridization study, monoclonal antibody screening, PEG-celloidin mixture embedding method, and diethylene glycol distearate used as removable embedment. This practical volume will interest histologists, histochemists, cytochemists, cell biologists, and other researchers using PEG in microscopy.
The biological sciences cover a broad array of literature types, from younger fields like molecular biology with its reliance on recent journal articles, genomic databases, and protocol manuals to classic fields such as taxonomy with its scattered literature found in monographs and journals from the past three centuries. Using the Biological Litera
This comprehensive book covers all aspects of the field of genetically engineered laboratory mice, including the creation of mutant mice through mouse models for developmental biology and the monitoring of laboratory mouse colonies. Written by leading biomedical investigators, pathologists, and clinicians, this book presents systematic approaches for analyzing mutant laboratory mice for specific medical applications. It provides a variety of methods for creating mutant mice, while covering legal aspects of mutant and inbred laboratory mice as well as the use and maintenance of international databases.
The epistemological synthesis of the various theories of evolution, since the first formulation in 1802 with the transmission of the inherited characters by J.B. Lamarck, shows the need for an alternative synthesis to that of Princeton (1947). This new synthesis integrates the scientific models of self-organization developed during the second half of the 20th century based on the laws of physics, thermodynamics, and mathematics with the emergent evolutionary problematics such as self-organized memory. This book shows, how self-organization is integrated in modern evolutionary biology. It is divided in two parts: The first part pays attention to the modern observations in paleontology and bio...
