Developmental Biology in Poland

Edited by: Malgorzata Kloc, Marek Maleszewski and Andrzej K. Tarkowski

Cover Legend

The white and red of the flag are the Polish national colors, while the crowned eagle on the red field is the Polish coat of arms (a national emblem). The chimeric mouse in the top right was developed from electrofused blastocysts and provided evidence for developmental plasticity of the inner cell mass. Findings originally reported in Tarkowski et al. (2005). Int. J. Dev. Biol. 49: 909-914.
