This volume discusses the processes of normal development in embryonic and prenatal animals, including humans, providing expert coverage of all major events in early embryogenesis and the organogenesis of specific systems, supplemented with representative clinical syndromes. All-new coverage of systems approaches to developmental genetics research, stem cell biology, new technologies and clinical disorders supports clinical researchers developing future therapies. A crystal-clear layout, exceptional full-color design, and bulleted summaries of major takeaways and their clinical relevance assist comprehension and readability of the highly complex content.

Key Features: 40% revised content deal with systems biology and stem cell biology in context of evolving technologies; Chapters are complemented with a bulleted summary for easy digestion of the major points, with a clinical summary for therapeutic application; Clinical highlights provides a bridge between basic developmental biology and clinical sciences in embryonic and prenatal syndromes.
