Acerca deste libro electrónico

Cartilage, Volume 3: Biomedical Aspects is a compilation of articles that covers the various aspects of age-related cartilage deterioration, bone disease, and genetic mutation. The book is composed of 10 chapters that highlight different subjects related to the diseases and malformations of cartilage. Relevant topics that are discussed in each chapter include the formation of cartilage outside the confines of the skeleton; aspects of age-related changes in cartilage; tumors that invade cartilage; molecular and biochemical bases of cartilage mutations; and the immunological and bioelectrical properties of cartilage. Physicians, pathologists, orthopedic surgeons, and those working on the human skeletal system will find this text a very good reference material.

Acerca do autor

I have been interested in and studying skeletal tissues since my undergraduate days in Australia in the 1960s. Those early studies on the development of secondary cartilage in embryonic birds, first published in 1967, have come full circle with the discovery of secondary cartilage in dinosaurs12. Bird watching really is flying reptile watching. Skeletal tissue development and evolution, the embryonic origins of skeletal tissues (especially those that arise from neural crest cells), and integrating development and evolution in what is now known as evo-devo have been my primary preoccupations over the past 50+ years.
