This Side Up - Spatial Determination in the Early Development of Animals

Zusammenfassung During animal development the descendants of a single cell form many different tissues and organs in appropriate positions within an embryo. To do this they must recognise their position! and this book examines our knowledge of how this is done. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Oogenesis; 2. From oocyte to zygote; 3. Does cleavage cut up a preformed spatial pattern?; 4. The limits of mosaicism in non-spiralian cleavage; 5. Cellular interations in the morula and blastula: the case of sea urchin embryos; 6. Interactions at morula and blastula in other embryos; 7. Interactions between moving cells: the case of amphibian gastrulae; 8. Spatial determination in the gastrulae of other groups; 9. Determination in embryos showing partial cleavage; 10. Patterns and mechanisms in early spatial determination; References; Index.
