Description

Avian Models of Development provides practical and experimental approaches for using avian systems to study developmental processes. It covers key methods, model applications, and emerging techniques that support research in embryogenesis, tissue formation, gene function, and developmental mechanisms.

Key features

  • Provides practical and up-to-date methodologies using avian systems in developmental biology research
  • Covers experimental approaches for studying embryogenesis, tissue patterning, morphogenesis, and organ development
  • Highlights the advantages of avian models for in ovo manipulation, live imaging, and microsurgical techniques

Readership

academic libraries, university libraries, biomedical research institutes, life science researchers, cell biologists, molecular biologists
