Description
Description
Cell Shape and Position during Development, Volume 166 provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental roles that cell morphology and spatial organization play in the development of multicellular organisms. This volume brings together leading experts in developmental biology, cell biology, and biophysics to explore how cells acquire specific shapes. Chapters in this new release include Cell shape changes during sperm-egg interactions, Cell shape and position during organ development, Regulation of shape and position during asymmetric cell division, Cell shape dynamics during mouse peri-implantation development and embryo dormancy, Shaping the intestine: the role of cell morphology and spatial dynamics in development, and more.
Additional sections Intermediate filaments in cell shape and position, Regulation of adult stem cell behavior by cytoskeletal dynamics and cell shape, Shape changes in gastrulation, and more.
Additional sections Intermediate filaments in cell shape and position, Regulation of adult stem cell behavior by cytoskeletal dynamics and cell shape, Shape changes in gastrulation, and more.
