Atlas of the Mouse Development

Not since the early 1970s has there been an attempt to describe and illustrate the anatomy of the developing mouse embryo. More than ever such material is needed by biologists as they begin to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying development and differentiation. After over ten years of painstaking work, Matt Kaufman has completed The Atlas of Mouse Development Interspersed throughout the text, over 180 plates of photographs and electron micrographs provide a comprehensive historical study of the development of the mouse from pre-implantation to term. Accompanied by explanatory notes and legends, these meticulously labelled plates illustrate: * Serial histological sections through embryos throughout embryogenesis and organogenesis * The differentiation of specific organs and organ systems, including the spinal cord, gonads, kidneys, lungs and skeletal system * The external appearance of intact embryos throughout development Associated with each plate section is a clear and concise description of the anatomical features which are relevant to each stage of mouse development. For all those researching or studying mammalian development, The Atlas of Mouse Development will be the standard reference work for many years to come.Kaufman, Matthew H. is the author of 'Atlas of the Mouse Development' with ISBN 9780124020351 and ISBN 0124020356.
