The emphasis is on circulating hormones, local growth factors andgene transcription factors which regulate growth and differentiation of skeletal muscle, bone andadipose tissue. Overall, this book will be an important resource for students that have a limitedbackground in cell, molecular and developmental biology and the effect of endocrine and growthfactors on the growth process UR - https://cabi-prod.literatumonline.com/action/showBook?doi=10.1079%2F9780851990804.0000 ER -
