Ciba Foundation Symposium 160 ‐ Regeneration of Vertebrate Sensory Receptor Cells: Regeneration of Vertebrate Sensory Receptor Cells: Ciba Foundation Symposium 160

An international group of leading investigators discuss recent progress of sensory structures in lower and higher vertebrates. Experts in two relevant fields--the cell cycle and mitogenic growth factors--present insightful contributions in the search for precursors and/or stem cells in each sense organ plus the signals which regulate those precursors' differentiation both in normal development and regeneration. Content: Topics covered in the CIBA Foundation symposium on which this book is based include regeneration in epithelial proliferative units as exemplified by small intestinal crypts; hair cell regeneration in the avian inner ear; and retinal regeneration in teleost fish.
