Xenopus Development (PDF)

Frogs from the genus Xenopus have long been used as model
organisms in basic and biomedical research. These frogs have helped
unlock key fundamental developmental and cellular processes that
have led to important scientific breakthroughs and have had
practical application in embryology, cancer research and
regenerative medicine. Xenopus Development is a vital
resource on the biology and development of these key model
organisms, and will be a great tool to researchers using these
frogs in various disciplines of biological science.

Xenopus Development is divided into four sections, the
first three highlight key processes in Xenopus development from
embryo to metamophosis. These sections focus on the cellular
processes, organogenesis and embryo development. The final section
highlights novel techniques and approaches being used in Xenopus
research.

Providing thorough and detailed coverage, Xenopus
Development, will be a timely and welcome volume for those
working in cell and molecular biology, genetics, developmental
biology and biomedical research.
