Embryology: Cardiovascular and Respiratory System
Embryology · Basic Sciences
How it begins
Análisis exhaustivo del desarrollo embriológico de los sistemas cardiovascular y respiratorio: desde la inducción mesodérmica hasta la fisiología neonatal, con correlaciones moleculares, genéticas y clínicas de alto nivel.
