Description
The `Formation of the Heart and its Regulation` reviews in considerable
detail the major events in heart development and their control via
genes, cell-cell interactions, growth factors and other contributing
elements. In addition, there is an extensive and useful overview of the
field of heart development taken as a whole.
The book will appeal to all students and researchers working on
cardiovascular development and to pediatric cardiologists.
