Extracellular Matrix in Development and Disease - Advances in Developmental Biology

Extracellular matrix proteins are diseases that are caused by mutations in genes that encode these proteins. This book addresses the biology of various extracellular matrix molecules and their functions in development and disease. It focuses on the subset of proteins that have been shown to be important for development, function, and disease.
