Zebrafish at the Interface of Development and Disease Research, Volume 124 (Current Topics in Developmental Biology) 1st Edition

by Kirsten C. Sadler Edepli (Editor)

Zebrafish at the Interface of Development and Disease Research presents the latest on the shared pathways that govern development and contribute to disease. Zebrafish have traditionally been used to study vertebrate development, providing interesting data on the developmental processes and genes that are implicated in disease. This new release in the series contains informative discussions on congenital heart defects in zebrafish, the use of zebrafish in studying kidney development and disease, and muscle development, homeostasis and disease in zebrafish. Each chapter  interweaves the study of zebrafish development and its application to the immune system, the kidney, liver, heart and others.

• The subject matter is unique – no single volume has pulled together the theme of development and disease with zebrafish as a centerpiece
• Leading experts in the field – all of them running zebrafish focused labs for each chapter
