Features: Development is an extremely complex process. Research on developmental abnormalities involves multiple disciplines within the life sciences and requires adopting different methods to conduct comprehensive exploration at various levels and scales. In light of this, the main content of this book includes eight levels: maternal body—placenta—embryo—tissues and organs—cells—organelles—proteins and enzymes—genes, as well as the detection techniques related to each level. Based on the principle of "doing what is necessary and avoiding what is not," this book emphasizes practicality as its primary feature and mission. The selected methods are numerous and have a wide range of applications. Moreover, some of the main methods are written by the authors based on their years of successful experience and insights, making them highly reliable and reproducible in terms of procedural steps. This book is available for reference to researchers in basic medicine, preventive medicine, clinical medicine, biology, pharmacy, and eugenics who are dedicated to developmental research.
