Current Topics in Developmental Biology

In keeping with the tradition of excellence of past volumes of the Current Topics in Developmental Biology series, this volume provides a comprehensive survey of major issues at the forefront of modern developmental biology and regenerative medicine. Astonishing discoveries are presented in thoughtful and forward-looking articles.Contribuiton of membrane mucins to tumor progression through modulation of cellular growth signaling pathways, Regulation of the epithelial sodium channel by peptidases, Advances in defining regulators of cementum development and periodontal regeneration, Anabolic agents and the BMP pathway, The role of mammalian circadian proteins in normal physiology and genotoxic stress responses, Autophagy and cell death. Clinical and fundamental researchers, as well as students and other professionals, will find this series an indispensable guide to current topics in cellular and molecular approaches to developmental and clinical problems of aberrant development.
