Focus on Development and Disease
- Focus issue:
- September 2007 Volume 9, No 9
Much progress has been made in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying animal development, uncovering numerous links with human disease pathologies.
This issue of Nature Cell Biology presents a series of specially-commissioned articles that highlights how developmental pathways gone awry can cause disease. These articles are available free until the end of February 2008.
The focus is sponsored by the March of Dimes foundation, as well as the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Shanghai, and the Guangzhou Institute of Biomedicine and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
