Klappentext Up-to-date review of molecular regulation of growth in animals. Zusammenfassung Covering state-of-the-art research into the molecular mechanisms of animal growth and differentiation! this review volume compares and contrasts growth regulation in a variety of tissues such as nerve and muscle. Looking from both functional and molecular perspectives! the latest research in this area is comprehensively discussed. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Role of growth hormone in growth regulation D. J.
