Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book provides a review of recent progress in understanding the roles of retinoids in both normal and abnormal differentiation, morphogenesis and pattern formation and how embryonic development is altered when retinoid levels are raised. It includes molecular, cellular and embryonic approaches which are integrated wherever possible.
MoreLong description:
Retinoic acid is of major importance in the regulation of normal gene expression in both embryonic and adult cells, through binding to, and activation of, specific retinoic acid receptors in the nucleus. Other nuclear receptors may bind to different retinoids. In the embryo, tissue and stage-specific distribution patterns of the different receptors, and of the cytoplasmic retinoid binding proteins, provide an underlying basis for the richly varied and changing
pattern of retinoid-related developmental gene expression. This book provides an up-to-date review of recent progress in understanding the roles of retinoids in both normal and abnormal differentiation, morphogenesis, and pattern formation. It includes molecular, cellular and embryonic approaches, which
are integrated wherever possible.
'The book combines work in embryology and development, and in molecular biology and clinical pathology, thus providing an extremely valuable overview ... a very interesting collection of papers ... the book does collect together much valuable material.'
