Nuclear Receptors in Development and Disease

by Douglas Forrest (Editor), Sophia Tsai (Editor)

Overview

Nuclear Receptors in Development and Disease, Volume 125, the latest volume in the Current Topics in Developmental Biology series, covers nuclear receptors in development and disease, and includes contributions from an international board of authors. New chapters in this release cover the Evolution of Nuclear Receptors and Ligand Signaling: Towards a Soft Key–Lock Model?, The Function and Evolution of Nuclear Receptors in Insect Embryonic Development, Nuclear Receptors in Skeletal Homeostasis, Estrogen Hormone Biology, and the Mechanisms of Glucocorticoid Action During Development. The book's chapters provide a comprehensive set of reviews that cover such topics as nuclear differentiation and remodeling, evolution of receptors, ligand signaling and neural development. - Covers the area of nuclear receptors in development and disease - Includes contributions from an International board of authors - Provides a comprehensive set of reviews on topics as nuclear differentiation and remodeling, evolution of receptors, ligand signaling and neural developments
