This book is a collection of views on contemporary trends in modern biology, emphasizing on gametogenesis, fertilization, early and/or delayed embryogenesis in animals, plants and other small organisms. Written by international experts, this book provides an introduction as well as in-depth review on classical as well as contemporary problems that pose a challenge in understanding how living organisms - take birth, grow, and reproduce at levels varying from molecular and cellular levels to individual level. This book covers extensive topics such as somatic embryogenesis in forest plants,...

Embryo transfer is one of the steps in the entire procedure of assisted reproduction. One of the most prolific high-end enterprises today is the embryo transfer domain. This book documents the recent advances and outlooks on newly postulated theories and technological advances related to the transfer of human embryo. The areas of special emphasis discuss challenges faced during the procedure. A few instances of how to improve pregnancy rate by novel techniques have been listed in this book, to give interested readers like embryologists and human IVF specialists, current and useful knowledge,...

This book is a well-structured and critically acclaimed resource with a comprehensive eye on embryology. Embryology is the branch of science concerned with the development of an embryo from the fertilization of the ovum to the fetus stage. The genomic and molecular revolutions in the second half of the 20th century, along with the classic vivid aspects of this science, have induced a greater sense of understanding about many developmental events. With this understanding, contemporary embryology has developed an inclination towards providing practical knowledge that can be valuable in...

An integrated study regarding the field of human embryology has been elucidated in this book. Human embryology is fast evolving and entering a new phase due to recent modifications and advances in life sciences. Research has led to significant developments in ES and iPS cell technology. This new phase has also generated grueling challenges for scientists all over the world pertaining to technological and ethical issues for future human embryology. However, human embryology is cumbersome in research due to ethics associated with the collection of human materials. This book overviews the...
