"Edited by Claudio Stern, and written by the principal authorities on the subject, Gastrulation: From Cells to Embryo is the most authoritative guide available on this vital period in embryonic development." "A detailed glossary of the language of embryology, an historical overview of the study of gastrulation, and a look at future research directions complete a volume that is essential for anyone interested in developmental biology and is also a valuable source of information for scientists in other fields who study cell movement and differentiation."--BOOK JACKET.
