Advances in Research and Applications

Part of a series, this volume covers such topics as insulin-like growth factor binding proteins; oocyte development - molecular biology of the zona pellucida; the laminins - a family of basement membrane glycoproteins important in cell differentiation and tumour metastases; and 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. This volume should be of interest to endocrinologists, biochemists and nutritionists, as well as cell biologists and microbiologists.
