The Neural Crest

by Chaya (Hebrew University Of Jerusalem) Kalcheim e Nicole (College De France, Paris) Le Douarin

177,10€ + 10% CARD

free shipping

 This 1999 book contains comprehensive information about the neural crest, a structure unique to the vertebrate embryo, which has only a transient existence in early embryonic life. The ontogeny of the neural crest embodies the most important issues in developmental biology, as the neural crest is considered to have played a crucial role in evolution of the vertebrate phylum.

Hormones, Signals And Target Cells In Plant Development

by Daphne J. (The Open University, Milton Keynes) Osborne e Michael T. (Massey University, Auckland) Mcmanus

178,45€ + 10% CARD

Kinetic Theory Of Living Pattern

by Lionel G. (University Of British Columbia, Vancouver) Harrison

77,06€ + 10% CARD

free shipping

 Development of the shapes of living organisms and their parts is a field of science in which there are no generally accepted theoretical principles. What form these principles are likely to take is a subject in which there is a wide gulf of disagreement between physical scientists and biologists. This book contains both an extensive philosophical commentary on this dichotomy.
