This book provides a comprehensive overview of ZIC-family
research. Part1 summarizes the ZIC family in animal evolution and
development and presents an overall picture of the ZIC family
gene structure in eumetazoan animals, providing an evolutionary
hypothesis and reviewing the studies on the role of ZIC family
proteins in developmental processes for each animal model. Part 2
shows that the ZIC family are the causative genes for
developmental disorders, and discusses the role of the ZIC family
in stem cell biology. It also presents studies on the ZIC family
in the medical biology field. This interdisciplinary book is a
valuable resource not only for those people directly involved in
ZIC-family-related research, but also researchers in diverse
research fields who are interested in the latest advances in
biology and medicine.
