Synopsis

Together with other volumes in this series, Volume 58 presents thoughtful and forward-looking articles on developmental biology and developmental medicine. Reviews include:* A role for endogenous electric fields in wound healing* The role of mitotic checkpoint in maintaining genomic stability * The regulation of oocyte maturation* Stem cells: A promising source of pancreatic islets for transplantation in type 1 diabetes* Differentiation potential of adipose derived adult stem (ASAS) cellsThe exceptional reviews in this volume of Current Topics in Developmental Biology will be valuable to both clinical and fundamental researchers, as well as students and other professionals who want an introduction to current topics in cellular and molecular approaches to developmental biology and clinical problems of aberrant development.

* Series Editor Gerald Schatten is one of the leading minds in reproductive and developmental science* Presents major issues and astonishing discoveries at the forefront of modern developmental biology and developmental medicine* The longest-running forum for contemporary issues in developmental biology with over 30 years of coverage

Edited by Gerald P. Schatten, Director, Pittsburgh Developmental Center, Professor and Vice Chair of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Science and Cell Biology and Physiology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

In keeping with the tradition of excellence of the Current Topics in Developmental Biology series, this volume provides a comprehensive survey of major issues at the forefront of modern developmental biology and developmental medicine. Astonishing discoveries are presented in thoughtful and forward-looking articles:

A ROLE FOR ENDOGENOUS ELECTRIC FIELDS IN WOUND HEALING

THE ROLE OF MITOTIC CHECKPOINT IN MAINTAINING GENOMIC STABILITY

THE REGULATION OF OOCYTE MATURATION

STEM CELLS: A PROMISING SOURCE OF PANCREATIC ISLETS FOR TRANSPLANTATION IN TYPE-1 DIABETES

DIFFERENTIATION POTENTIAL OF ADIPOSE DERIVED ADULT STEM (ASAS) CELLS

Clinical and fundamental researchers, as well as students and other professionals, will find this series an indispensable guide to current topics in cellular and molecular approaches to developmental biology and clinical problems of aberrant development.
