Providing a survey of the major topics in the field of developmental biology, this work covers topics which include Wnt signaling, controlling regulatory networks, cartilage growth plates, and more. It is aimed at researchers in animal and plant development, and others who want an introduction to cellular and molecular mechanisms of development.

"Current Topics in Developmental Biology" provides a comprehensive survey of the major topics in the field of developmental biology. These volumes are valuable to researchers in animal and plant development, as well as to students and professionals who want an introduction to cellular and molecular mechanisms of development. The series has recently passed its 30-year mark, making it the longest-running forum for contemporary issues in developmental biology. The book includes many descriptive figures. The topics covered include Wnt signaling, controlling regulatory networks, cartilage growth plates, and more. It is the latest volume in the series that covers seven reviews in 300 pages.
