Cell adhesion is a fundamental determinant of embryonic development and organogenesis. Cellular Adhesion in Development and Disease comprehensively surveys current developments in understanding how adhesion systems affect organismal development This book surveys current developments in understanding how adhesion systems affect organismal development INDICE: 1.
