Kaufman’s Atlas of Mouse Development Supplement

Kaufman's Atlas of Mouse Development Supplement, Second edition, continues the stellar reputation of the original Atlas by providing updated, in-depth anatomical content and morphological views of organ systems. This book explores the developmental origins of the organ systems, following the original Atlas as a continuation of the standard in the field for developmental biologists and researchers across biological and biomedical sciences studying mouse development. In recent years there has been considerable progress in imaging techniques and molecular and experimental studies in the mouse, which in turn has strengthened the importance of the mouse as a model for understanding human development. In this new edition, each chapter has been updated to include the latest research in these areas, while three brand new chapters are also included, covering the functional aspects of mouse and human heart development, the immune system, and the inner ear. These additions ensure an up-to-date resource for all biomedical scientists who use the mouse as a model species for understanding the normal and abnormal development of human systems. Offers in-depth anatomy and morphological views of organ systems and their developmental originsIncludes the latest techniques for visualizing gene expression and other functional aspects of tissue and organ developmentExplores links between mouse and human developmental processesFeatures high-quality color images for visualization of key developmental processes and structures
