| Abstract
|
:
|
Volume 35 proves to be essential reading for anyone interested in reactions between retinoid signaling pathways and the genes regulating cell proliferation/survival, developmentally-regulated changes in the nuclear envelope, the developmental roles of the EGFR, or ErbB family, the correspondence between phylogeny and life history in polyembryonic insect development, control of cadherin function by extracellular signals, the importance of the Spemann organizer for neural induction, and the study of signal transduction in Drosophila melanogaster.
