Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology 2010

Each year the editorial committee identifies topics to be included in the annual, and recruits scientists with a particular interest in it to summarize in a thorough manner developments over the past year. This year's volume contains 28 reviews on such topics as the control of mitotic spindle length, trans-membrane signaling proteoglycans, a new wave of cellular imaging, rolling cell adhesion, chromatin regulatory mechanism in pluripotency, paramutation and development, regulatory mechanisms for specification and patterning of plant vascular tissues, stem cell models of cardiac development and disease, and a decade of systems biology. The indexes, of authors and titles, are cumulative for volumes 22-26. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
