This book is the first publication to provide comprehensive guidance regarding the identification, characterization, and interpretation of mouse developmental defects. It emphasizes the interpretation of abnormal phenotypes and provides detailed protocols for appropriately processing mouse embryos, fetuses, neonates, juveniles, and placentas. A complete reference on the design, analysis, and interpretation of abnormal findings, the book is enhanced with numerous full-color illustrations, enabling readers to comprehend both normal development and the major categories of defects that may be seen in malformed developing mice (and placentas) of all ages. The extensive literature citations provide a starting point for additional reading to begin building true expertise in the field.
Key Features:
Offers guidance for describing and diagnosing anatomic lesions in developing mice: embryos, fetuses, neonates, and juveniles
Provides comprehensive developmental timelines in the mouse for major organs and systems
Includes detailed methods for evaluating normal and defective cells, organs, and tissues in mouse embryos, fetuses,and placentas
Contains numerous full-color illustrations demonstrating major developmental lesions in embryos, fetuses, neonates,juveniles, and placentas
Incorporates many citations for further study
Audience: Biomedical researchers; veterinary researchers, laboratory animal scientists, and pathologists.
