Development biology. Barres M. J., Gilbert S.F.

The translation of the new, supplemented by the 12th edition of “Biology of Development” by M. J.F. Barresi and S.F. Gilbert attracts with its thoroughness and the ability to effectively learn about classical principles and advanced developments in this vast interdisciplinary region. The book is very beloved, well illustrated and extremely clearly written. The chapters on fertilization, fragmentation, gastrulation, early development of vertebral, cell differentiation and cell interactions in the development process were updated. Information on plant biology is included in those that are devoted to the cellular specifications, regulation of genes, cellular communication, the production of gametes, fertilization, determination of the axes, the formation of organs and regeneration. A new material is presented about the morphomechanics of development during gastrolation in Drusophila and the formation of light mammals. Particular attention is paid to the use of full -genomic approaches that bring our understanding of cell differentiation to a new level.

For students and graduate students of biological and medical universities, as well as their teachers, it will be useful to high school students for a deeper study of the subject.
