  • Bones and Cartilage

    Developmental and Evolutionary Skeletal Biology

    by Brian K. Hall ...
    Bones and Cartilage provides the most in-depth review and synthesis assembled on the topic, across all vertebrates. It examines the function, development and evolution of bone and cartilage as tissues, organs and skeletal systems. It describes how bone and cartilage develop in embryos and are maintained in adults, how bone is repaired when we break a leg, or regenerates when a newt grows a new ... Read more

  • The Notochord

    Development, Evolution and contributions to the vertebral column

    by P. Eckhard Witten, Brian K. Hall ...
    Series series Evolutionary Cell Biology
    Although it is the defining organ of the Chordata, the notochord and its cells are one of the least understood vertebrate organs. This may be because large parts of the notochord are often replaced with cartilaginous or bony vertebral bodies. The presence of cartilage in the notochord raises questions about the evolutionary relationships between notochord cells and cartilage cells. This book ... Read more

  • The Neural Crest and Neural Crest Cells in Vertebrate Development and Evolution

    by Brian K. Hall ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    A presentation of all aspects of neural crest cell origins (embryological and evolutionary) development and evolution; neural crest cell behavior (migration) and anomalies (neurocristopathies and birth defects) that arise from defective neural crest development. The treatment of development will include discussions of cellular, molecular and genetic aspects of the differentiation and morphogenesis ... Read more

  • Deferring Development

    Setting Aside Cells for Future Use in Development and Evolution

    Edited by Cory Douglas Bishop, Brian K. Hall ...
    Series series Evolutionary Cell Biology
    This volume examines cells set aside during development for use later in ontogeny or in adult life. There is no single term for such cells. The cells explored fall within several major categories — stem cells, set-aside cells (in echinoderm larvae), imaginal discs in insects such as Drosophila, meristems (plants), blastemata (regeneration in amphibians), neoblasts (regeneration in planarians). The ... Read more

  • The Neural Crest in Development and Evolution

    by Brian K. Hall ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Knowledge of the development and evolution of the neural crest sheds light on many of the oldest unanswered questions in developmental biology. What is the role of germ layers in early embryogenesis? How does the nervous system develop? How does the vertebrate head arise developmentally and how did it arise evolutionarily? How do growth factors and Hox genes direct cell differenti ation and ... Read more

  • Epigenetics

    Linking Genotype and Phenotype in Development and Evolution

    Edited by Benedikt Hallgrimsson Ph.D., Brian K. Hall Ph.D. ...
    Illuminating the processes and patterns that link genotype to phenotype, epigenetics seeks to explain features, characters, and developmental mechanisms that can only be understood in terms of interactions that arise above the level of the gene. With chapters written by leading authorities, this volume offers a broad integrative survey of epigenetics. Approaching this complex subject from a ... Read more

  • Cells in Evolutionary Biology

    Translating Genotypes into Phenotypes - Past, Present, Future

    Edited by Brian K. Hall, Sally A. Moody ...
    Series series Evolutionary Cell Biology
    This book is the first in a projected series on Evolutionary Cell Biology, the intent of which is to demonstrate the essential role of cellular mechanisms in transforming the genotype into the phenotype by transforming gene activity into evolutionary change in morphology. This book —Cells in Evolutionary Biology — evaluates the evolution of cells themselves and the role cells have been viewed to ... Read more

  • Variation

    A Central Concept in Biology

    Edited by Benedikt Hallgrímsson, Brian K. Hall ...
    Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was based on the observation that there is variation between individuals within the same species. This fundamental observation is a central concept in evolutionary biology. However, variation is only rarely treated directly. It has remained peripheral to the study of mechanisms of evolutionary change. The explosion of knowledge in genetics, ... Read more

    Biomedical Aspects

    Edited by Brian K. Hall ...
    Cartilage, Volume 3: Biomedical Aspects is a compilation of articles that covers the various aspects of age-related cartilage deterioration, bone disease, and genetic mutation. The book is composed of 10 chapters that highlight different subjects related to the diseases and malformations of cartilage. Relevant topics that are discussed in each chapter include the formation of cartilage outside the ... Read more

  • Bones and Cartilage

    Developmental and Evolutionary Skeletal Biology

    by Brian K. Hall ...
    Bones and Cartilage provides the most in-depth review ever assembled on the topic. It examines the function, development and evolution of bone and cartilage as tissues, organs and skeletal systems. It describes how bone and cartilage is developed in embryos and are maintained in adults, how bone reappears when we break a leg, or even regenerates when a newt grows a new limb, or a lizard a tail. ...

  • On the Nature of Limbs

    A Discourse

    by Richard Owen, Brian K. Hall ...
    The most prominent naturalist in Britain before Charles Darwin, Richard Owen made empirical discoveries and offered theoretical innovations that were crucial to the proof of evolution. Among his many lasting contributions to science was the first clear definition of the term homology—“the same organ in different animals under every variety of form and function.” He also graphically demonstrated ...

  • Evolution of the House Mouse

    Edited by Miloš Macholán, Stuart J. E. Baird, Jaroslav Piálek, Pavel Munclinger ...
    Series Book 3 - Cambridge Studies in Morphology and Molecules: New Paradigms in Evolutionary Bio
    The house mouse is the source of almost all genetic variation in laboratory mice; its genome was sequenced alongside that of humans, and it has become the model for mammalian speciation. Featuring contributions from leaders in the field, this volume provides the evolutionary context necessary to interpret these patterns and processes in the age of genomics. The topics reviewed include mouse ... Read more
