About this book

Cell Lineage and Fate Determination brings together established and young investigators who are leading authorities on the determination of cell fate. Our current understanding of cell fate commitment and cell lineage determination is derived from studies of a number of different organisms, each ideally suited to elucidate particular components of the whole story. Therefore, this book is divided into sections, each representing one major animal model, in which exciting new advances in lineage and fate determination are discussed.
