Focusing on specific pathways or pathway components in the context of specific embryos, Analysis of Growth Factor Signaling in Embryos provides both methods and guidelines for experimental design in the major aspects of cell signaling in vertebrate embryos. This book covers multiple types of signaling components including receptors, co-receptors, and effector kinases. It incorporates biochemical and genetic methods of analysis as well as all of the major vertebrate embryonic model systems such as Xenopus mouse, zebrafish, and chick. Featuring contributions from top researchers in the field, this text is ideal for developmental biologists, cell biologists, researchers, and graduate students.
