Written by experts in the field, each of the seventeen chapters covers a specific step in the process, focusing on the underlying molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms. There is also a special section on emerging technologies, including genomics, zebrafish genetics, and stem cell biology that are starting to yield important new insights into retinal development. Primarily aimed at professionals, both biologists and clinicians working with the retina, this book provides a concise and up-to-date view of what is known about vertebrate retinal development.
