Contents:
The cell : fundamental unit of developmental systems -- Cleavage and blastula formation -- Cell states : stability, oscillation, differentiation -- Cell adhesion, compartmentalization, and lumen formation -- Epithelial morphogenesis : gastrulation and neurulation -- Mesenchymal morphogenesis -- Pattern formation : segmentation, axes, and asymmetry -- Organogenesis -- Fertilization : generating one living dynamical system from two -- Evolution of developmental mechanisms.
Summary: This book shows how physics can be used to analyze the changes that cells and tissues undergo during development. Major stages and components of the biological development process are introduced and analyzed. Full-color throughout, this comprehensive textbook is suitable for graduate and upper-undergraduate courses in physics and biology.
