Such volumes serve a useful role in developmental biology, since it is a very diverse field that receives contributions from a wide variety of disciplines. This series is a meeting-ground for the various practi tioners of this science, facilitating an integration of heterogeneous information on specific topics. 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. The specialist in any aspect of devel opmental biology should understand the experimental background of the field and be able to place that body of information in context to ascertain where additional research would be fruitful. At that point, the creative process gener ates new experiments. This series is intended to be a vital link in that ongoing process of learning and discovery. In no other aspect of developmental biology is its multidisciplinary char acter more evident than in the study of growth control, which involves embryologists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, and clinical scientists. Orderly cell division is a prerequisite to conversion of the zygote into a highly organized multicellular adult organism. Cancer, on the other hand, is characterized by faulty growth control. The cell surface plays a central role in regulating many of the cellular functions related to growth control in normal development. The cell surface is also involved in mediating cell-cell interactions, which are important in morphogenesis and which may be highly 'lbnormal in malignancy. Clearly, the study of cell surface properties in devel uping cells and malignant cells is complementary; an understanding of either field improves our understanding of the other. An improved understanding of the cell biology of malignancy is the key to control of this deadly disease. This volume is a chronicle of our current understanding of the properties of the cell surface relating to development and cancer. It is a companion to Volume 2 of this series. That book (The Cellular Basis of Morphogenesis, edited by Leon W. Browder) considers the role of cellular and extracellular compo nents in the assembly of multicellular embryos. The functions of the vii viii Preface cytoskeleton, cell surface, and extracellular matrix molecules in cellular shape changes, cellular interactions, and cell motility in development are discussed in detail. Together, these two volumes are intended to provide the basis for understanding the cellular events underlying morphogenesis and contributing to the abnormal behavior of malignant cells. Leon w. Browder Introduction to the Volume Cells are the "atoms" of the metazoan organism. They are the subunits that multiply, differentiate, lay down extracellular scaffoldings, organize them selves into tissues and organs and-when the normal programs of differentia tion and morphogenesis go awry-metastasize to foreign sites and invade, multiply, and destroy the tissues of the host and ultimately the host itself. Growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis must all be regulated in rela tionship to demand, requiring the exchange of information between the cell and its environment. All such information must be delivered either to or through the cell surface. It is not surprising, then, that as cell regulatory pro cesses have come to be better understood, our perception of the cell envelope has changed dramatically. Whereas once it was thought of as not much more than the "bag" preventing the escape of all those interesting enzymes, today the cell membrane is recognized as a complex and heterogeneous structure with specialized domains dynamically regulating the passage of molecules of many kinds and bearing specific receptors relaying signals between the worlds with out and within. Just as the envelopes of normal cells have a crucial role in interpreting and relaying signals essential to normal cell functions, so have the envelopes of cancer cells been implicated in their refractoriness to control by those instruc tions to which normal cells submit. The concept of a volume bringing together accounts of contributions to our knowledge of cell-surface-related phenomena of importance to our understanding of both development and cancer arose from a symposium of like purpose sponsored by the Division of Developmental and Cell Biology of the American Society of Zoologists and generously supported by grants from NSF and NIH and by a contribution from Smith Kline and French Laboratories. This volume was assembled subsequently and addresses itself to the normal processes of controlled growth, guided cell locomotion, se lective cell association and assembly, and cell communication, as well as aber rations in these processes and in the underlying mechanisms in malignant cells.
