Gametogenesis, Early Embryo Development and Stem Cell Derivation
This Brief offers a concise, handy overview of the main concepts related to Embryology, revisited through the novel concepts that are applied daily in stem cell research and cell therapy oriented investigations.�It is�based on three main areas: � -The process involved in female gamete differentiatio...
