Current Topics in Developmental Biology (CTDB) affiliates with SDB

SDB is proud to announce its affiliation with the book series, Current Topics in Developmental Biology (CTDB), published by Elsevier.  Under the new editorial leadership of Paul Wassarman (Mt Sinai, New York) and Olivier Pourquié (Stowers Institute, Kansas City), the series provides a forum for dissemination and discussion of new ideas and thought in developmental biology.  CTDB has recently passed its 40-year mark, making it the longest-running forum for contemporary issues in developmental biology.  Each volume of CTDB provides an overview of the most significant research findings in the area of developmental biology.  The volumes are valuable to researchers in animal and plant development, as well as to students and professionals who want an introduction to cellular and molecular mechanisms of development. SDB members receive a special discounted rate on all volumes published in CTDB by using the dedicated order forms.
