Metamorphosis: Postembryonic Reprogramming of Gene Expression in Amphibian and Insect Cells

Metamorphosis addresses various facets of postembryonic development, particularly signal transduction, morphogenesis, cell-cell interactions, and programmed cell death. A key feature of the book is its exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes.

• Hormonal regulation of development
• The mechanisms of hormone action
• The steroid/thyroid hormone receptor family
• Morphogenesis and programmed cell death
