Cell cycle in development [electronic resource] / Jacek Z. Kubiak, Editor.

This book focuses on the intersection between cell cycle regulation and embryo development. Specific modifications of the canonical cell cycle occur throughout the whole period of development and are adapted to fulfil functions coded by the developmental program. Deciphering these adaptations is ess...
