This page contains a number of selected external GIT References and links to searchable reference databases. Note that new reference materials are constantly being added and the student interested in the latest findings should carry out their own search of the current NCBI Pubmed database.

Search PubMed: Liver Development
NCBI A search of NCBI PubMed MEDLINE database.
"MEDLINE is the NLM's premier bibliographic database covering the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, and the preclinical sciences." (NCBI)
Searching with nearly any term will result in a large number of results that can be made more specific by either:
1. Using "Preview/Index" option to carry out an additional search and then combining with your first result. (#1 AND #2)
or
2. Using "Limits" option to set limits on your search results. (review, years, english, etc)
Searching the library with a term will show results from each textbook that can then be opened on a new page.
"The Bookshelf is a growing collection of biomedical books that can be searched directly by typing a concept" (NCBI)
Different databases can be selected from the pulldown menu.
Selected option "Entrez" shows the results from searching all the different NCBI databases simultaneously.
NCBI "Established in 1988 as a national resource for molecular biology information, NCBI creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information - all for the better understanding of molecular processes affecting human health and disease"
NCBI OMIM "This database is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders authored and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere, and developed for the World Wide Web by NCBI, the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The database contains textual information and references. It also contains copious links to MEDLINE and sequence records in the Entrez system, and links to additional related resources at NCBI and elsewhere."
Enter your term in the box below to get a Google search result from UNSW Embryology. More than 5,000 searches carried out so far!
This allows a Search of NIH Medlineplus Medical Dictionary. Type the word that you would like to find. If unsure of spelling, type the first few letters, followed by an asterisk(*).

For those wanting to see dynamic processes of development (and have a reasonably quick connection) then the Movies pages are good for watching changes occur.
The study of human development has relied extensively on studying the process in other model animals. For those wanting to see the process of development in other species then the other embryos pages are a good start.

This page contains some selected GIT References for background reading on the topic.
There are also additional specialised pages for Liver and Pancreas references.
Note that all searches require an internet connection, are provided by others, and are not part of the UNSW Embryology CD.
Also note that as the internet is always changing, some search links may eventually cease to function.
