BOOK
Humoral Control of Growth and Differentiation Volume I: Vertebrate Regulatory Factors
Humoral Control of Growth and Differentiation, Volume I: Vertebrate Regulatory Factors is a scholarly work that examines chemical (humoral) regulators involved in the control of cell growth, division, and differentiation in vertebrates. Edited by Joseph LoBue and Albert S. Gordon, the volume brings together contributions from leading researchers in endocrinology and developmental biology.
The book focuses particularly on:
Chalones as tissue‑specific mitotic inhibitors
Humoral regulation of blood cell formation and release
Hormonal influences on organ and tissue growth
Interactions between classical hormones and cellular control mechanisms
Designed for researchers, advanced students, and professionals in biology and medicine, this volume was influential in expanding understanding of non‑traditional endocrine regulators and their roles in growth control and differentiation. It includes extensive bibliographies and forms part of a two‑volume set, with Volume II addressing non‑vertebrate neuroendocrinology and aging.
