Pathology of the Developing Mouse

This book is the first publication to provide comprehensive guidance regarding the identification, characterization, and interpretation of mouse developmental defects. It emphasizes the interpretation of abnormal phenotypes and provides detailed protocols for appropriately processing mouse embryos, fetuses, neonates, juveniles, and placentas. A complete reference on the design, analysis, and interpretation of abnormal findings, the book is enhanced with numerous full-color illustrations, enabling readers to comprehend both normal development and the major categories of defects that may be seen in malformed developing mice (and placentas) of all ages. The extensive literature citations provide a starting point for additional reading to begin building true expertise in the field.
