Retinal Development

Zusatztext Review of the hardback: ' ? until now! a reference resource in the form of a review collection that guides the reader through the state-of-the-art approaches for studying retinal development has not been available ? as such! the book Retinal Development is especially welcome and is also a delightful read.' Development Klappentext First published in 2006, this book is an overview of vertebrate retinal development for both biologists and clinicians. Zusammenfassung First published in 2006! this book is an overview of vertebrate retinal development for both biologists and clinicians. Each of the seventeen chapters covers a specific step in the process! focusing on the underlying molecular! cellular! and physiological mechanisms! with a special section focusing on emerging technologies! including genomics! zebrafish genetics and stem cell biology.
