Description: "This volume of Current Topics in Developmental Biology showcases important findings across the field of vessel formation. During embryogenesis, the cardiovascular system is the first organ system to form and function, and so this volume appropriately points out that understanding vascular development is important to a multitude of other developmental questions, all with translational importance." "Clinical and fundamental researchers, as well as students and other professionals, will find this series an indispensable guide to current topics in developmental biology and regenerative medicine."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
