Issues in Fetal Medicine [electronic resource] : Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth Annual Symposium of the Galton Institute, London 1992 / edited by S.L. Barron, D.F. Roberts

This book explores the emerging speciality of fetal medicine. The new technology for examining DNA is described as a background to later chapters concerned with gene therapy and the examination of the conceptus. An account of laboratory techniques for studying the mouse embryo is illustrated by outstanding photographs of scanning electron microscopy. This book will be of interest to all those who are involved with the care of the pregnant woman and her fetus whether in medicine or in the law.
