Developmental biology has been transformed recently by discoveries in the fields of molecular biology, cell biology, and immunology. Chapter 2 describes pronuclear transplantation by Sendai virus-induced fusion of the karyoplast with the enucleated embryo.

This series was established to create comprehensive treatises on specific topics in developmental biology. The specialist in any aspect of developmental biology should understand the experimental back ground of the specialty and be able to place that body of information in context, in order to ascertain where additional research would be fruitful.

"Glory to the science of embryology!" And if embryology is the study of the embryo as seen over time, the history of embryology is a second-order derivative, seeing how the study of embryos changes over time. " Thus, there are several ways in which embryology and the history of embryology are similar.

This series was established to create comprehensive treatises on specialized topics in developmental biology. Each volume is intended to provide the conceptual basis for a comprehen sive understanding of its topic as well as an analysis of the key experiments upon which that understanding is based.

Each volume of this series will attempt to convey the current status of research and thought on a specific topic in development, place current research within historical perspective, and lay the intellectual groundwork for future research.
