Biology of Development

The growth of one cell, from a fertilized egg to a living organism, such as a fly, elephant or human child, is an amazing achievement that approaches the miracle in the wonders of nature. How does this wonderful work happen? How do you know the egg on what you turn? These are the questions that the field of developmental biology seeks to answer. This field is closely related to genetics, development and cellular biology. This short introduction, written by Louis and Laret, the prominent world of developmental biology, provides a comprehensive summary of what we know about the growth process, reviewing the first vital steps and exploring one of the most active aspects of scientific research.
