Development, Differentiation and Disease of the Para-Alimentary Tract: Volume 97

Klappentext Understanding how digestive organs develop, their physiology and structure is important for determining new therapies to combat diseases of the digestive organs. This volume reviews the latest research and developments in this field. PRAISE FOR THE SERIES "Full of interest not only for the molecular biologist--for whom the numerous references will be invaluable--but will also appeal to a much wider circle of biologists, and in fact to all those who are concerned with the living cell."--British Medical Journal Zusammenfassung Understanding how digestive organs develop! their physiology and structure is important for determining various therapies to combat diseases of the digestive organs. This title reviews the research and developments in this field. It is suitable for researchers involved in molecular biology and related fields. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
