Cell Cycle in Development

Produktbeschreibung

The central point of this book is the current understanding of processes accompanying embryonic transitions, in which cell cycle machinery is implicated. The authors explain numerous questions of how the basic cell cycle events are controlled at the cellular level, how the embryonic development is prepared during oogenesis and oocyte maturation, and how the interplay between cell cycle controlling machinery and the developmental program is brought to action from fertilization till aging and pathologies of the latter.
The logical sequence of chapters fluently guides the reader through the world of cell cycle and embryogenesis, and is bound to stimulate a very rich discussion.
