Description :

The intention of advances in morphogenesis is to help to link up the various branches of biology that deal with development. It will seek to do this by discussing topics of current interest, in a form hoped to be intelligible to a wider circle than the author's immediate colleagues.The diversity of morphogenesis thus conceived is very great, but not so great that the different branches cannot learn from each other.
It is hoped that the mutual stimulation will encourage the synthesis of some much-needed general ideas about mechanisms of development, which when successfully framed will surely begin the next great advance in biology.
The first volume contains nine chapters, which are presented as follows:
chapter 1: a chemical approach to the problem of the organizer;
chapter 2: the embryology of ascidians;
chapter 3: regeneration of vertebrate appendages;
chapter 4: action of morphostatic substance and the role of proteases in regenerating tissues and in Tumour Cells;
chapter 5: determining factors in Cell growth: some implications for morphogenesis is plants;
chapter 6: the differentiation of vertebrates pigment cells;
chapter 7: limb morphogenesis;
chapter 8: morphogenesis of the vertebrate eye;
chapter 9: structural and dynamic aspects of the development of the teleostean egg.
