Current topics in developmental biology
by None
In the embryonic stage of a multicellular organism, precise arrangements of different cell types arise. These cell types eventually become the tissues and organs of the organism if it is an animal, for instance. Developmental biology is the study of this process in both plants and animals and covers the entire development stage of the organism.Current Topics in Developmental Biology provides a comprehensive survey of the major topics in this rapidly advancing field.

Summary
In the embryonic stage of a multicellular organism, precise arrangements of different cell types arise.
