In The Vertebrate Organizer, outstanding molecular development biologists and embryologists report their latest approaches in this fascinating research area using different vertebrate model organisms.
Part I: Early steps leading to the formation of the organizer.- Part II: The role of the organizer.- Part III: The organizer and pattern formation.- Part IV: Axis formation and organogenesis.- Part V: Organizer formation in different vertebrates.
From the reviews: "Horst Grunz has done a great job in editing a splendid book on vertebrate early development ! and has collected a great team of leading researchers as authors for the different chapters. ! The book is nicely produced and most chapters well illustrated. ! The book is also well bound and will withstand intense use in libraries, laboratories and offices. ! it is a very fine book indeed, and can be recommended to research workers and advanced students of induction and pattern formation."
