- New Experimental Boxes and other additional experimental detail throughout the text demonstrate 'how we know what we know'.
- Medical boxes show how developmental biology is central to our understanding of human health and disease.
- Custom-made animations of key signalling pathways break down these complex processes into stages, making them easier to understand and remember.
- Online movies show major developmental processes occurring in real embryos, helping you to visualize the subject in three dimensions.

Description
All the key principles of developmental biology that students need to know, with the molecular basis of developmental processes explained, and the facts underpinned by experimental evidence.
How does a single cell develop into myriad different specialized cell types? How do these different cell types become organized into tissues and organs, and ultimately form an unimaginably complex living organism such as a human? What are the medical implications of understanding these processes, and in particular the biology of stem cells? And how do the developmental changes that underlie evolution come about?
Principles of Development opens up the fascinating field of developmental biology to those wanting to understand the answers to questions such as these. The emphasis throughout is on the unifying principles of development—the underlying processes shared by diverse organisms. This focus on principles provides a framework on which a richer understanding of specific topics can be built. Moreover, extensive pedagogical support is provided, both in the book and online, to make this text the complete package for those studying developmental biology.
