Axial Skeleton

  • Chapter
Drug Toxicity in Embryonic Development I

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 124 / 1))

  • 207 Accesses

Abstract

The development of the axial skeleton is a complex process that requires the coordinate regulation of many molecular and cellular events. Although we are still far from understanding it in detail, the availability of molecular markers and the use of in vitro culture techniques has recently opened up a new avenue towards a molecular analysis and has already added much to our understanding of the process.
