人類生殖和胚胎研究的前瞻檢驗，她的研究對胚胎學和發育生物學影響深遠2023年小川－山中幹細胞獎得主力作 人類在成人時期大約擁有幾十兆個細胞，每個細胞的直徑約為0.01公釐。如果每個細胞都像人這麼大，那麼一個成人的身體從頭到腳量起來就會有幾百公里那麼高。從受精卵這個可以說是最重要的單一細胞的角度來看，促成這個龐大且錯綜複雜細胞群的編舞實為驚人。所有這些不具思考能力的細胞是如何協調行動以創造出具有知覺的人類呢？ 長期以來，科學家們一直在努力讓懷孕更容易、更安全、更成功。在《生命之舞》中，發育和幹細胞生物學家瑪格達萊娜．澤尼克－格茨將我們帶到了理解人類生命創造的前線。她花了 20 年時間解開發育的奧秘，從一顆簡單的受精卵變成一個擁有 40 兆個細胞的複雜人類。 澤尼克－格茨的研究工作既實用又驚人：她對小鼠、人類和人造胚胎模型的開創性實驗為更多女性如何維持懷孕帶來了希望。《生命之舞》處理科學最強大的力量和人類最關心問題的交點，對未來生育能力和生命本身的描繪極具啟發性。 【好評推薦】（依姓氏筆畫序）國立臺灣大學生命科學系教授　丁照棣央廣〈名偵探科普男〉節目主持人　冬陽國立清華大學生命科學院分子與細胞生物研究所副教授　黃貞祥國立臺灣大學通識教育組兼任副教授 曹順成中央研究院細胞與個體生物學研究所研究員　蘇怡璇 【各界好評】《生命之舞》是一個科學家自述的研究歷程，難能可貴的是她時時以簡單的比喻解釋複雜的胚胎發育現象或機制，發育並不是一個容易解釋的生命現象，作者深入淺出的手法值得致敬。──國立臺灣大學生命科學系教授　丁照棣 《生命之舞》是當今活躍於發育生物學第一線、頂尖研究者瑪格達萊娜．澤尼克－格茨的科學回憶錄，她從年輕至今的探索歷程就是對非專業人士的最好引導……──央廣〈名偵探科普男〉節目主持人　冬陽 閱讀《生命之舞》一書時，每一個章節都觸動我在研究路上的點點滴滴。我和作者最大的共同點就是「日常生活研究、研究日常生活」。我們只要多花一點心思觀察生活周遭，便能啟動靈感，處處是科學。──國立臺灣大學通識教育組兼任副教授 曹順成 《生命之舞》以淺顯易懂的語言解釋了人類從一個單細胞發展到一個完整生物體的過程，並為我們展示了這一過程中的科學奧秘。澤尼克－格茨是一位優異的發育生物學家，也是

'Quite simply the best book about science and life that I have ever read' - Alice RobertsHow does life begin? What drives a newly fertilized egg to keep dividing and growing until it becomes 40 trilli

Through a long history of co-evolution, multicellular organisms form a complex of host cells plus many associated microorganism species. Consisting of algae, bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists and viruses, and collectively referred to as the microbiome, these microorganisms contribute to a range of important functions in their hosts, from nutrition, to behaviour and disease susceptibility. In this book, a diverse and international group of active researchers outline how multicellular organisms have become reliant on their microbiomes to function, and explore this vital interdependence across the breadth of soil, plant, animal and human hosts. They draw parallels and contrasts across hosts in different environments, and discuss how this invisible microbial ecosystem influences everything from the food we eat, to our health, to the correct functioning of ecosystems we depend on. This insightful read also pertinently encourages students and researchers in microbial ecology, ecology, and m
