Description
About the Book
Developmental biology is the scientific study of the processes that govern the growth and development of animals and plants. This field covers several subdisciplines, including the biology of regeneration, asexual reproduction, and metamorphosis, as well as the growth and differentiation of stem cells in adult organisms. Central to developmental biology is the study of embryonic development in animals, which involves key processes such as cell differentiation, regional specification, morphogenesis, and growth. Cell differentiation refers to the process by which unspecialized cells become distinct, functional types, such as muscle cells, secretory epithelia, and neurons. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of developmental biology. It attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline and how such concepts have practical applications. For all those who are interested in developmental biology, this book can prove to be an essential guide.Book Synopsis
