• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Highlighting the latest advances in genetics and biochemistry, this third edition of a respected text reviews the field from basic science, clinical, epidemiological, and regulatory perspectives. Contributions from top opinion leaders in the field bring together developments in molecular embryology and cell biology as they apply to problems in developmental toxicology. The book covers testing of pharmaceutical and environmental agents and interpretation of developmental toxicology data. It highlights mathematical and statistical techniques, as well as the effects of toxic exposure on the functional development of various organs.
