Tissue Remodeling and Epithelial Morphogenesis

Intends to bring together a series of articles on the structural, functional, and developmental characteristics of epithelial. This book covers the research findings and thought on cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. It discusses some of the most contemporary thoughts on cell polarity and tissue morphogenesis.
