Biophysics of Tissue Self-Organization in Morphogenesis

Biophysics of Tissue Self-Organization in Morphogenesis: The Role of Dynamics Along the Biointerface delves into the interactions between tissue and the extracellular matrix. It explores the fundamentals of cell self-rearrangement and the interrelation between biological mechanisms and physical principles responsible for tissue self-organization. The book examines modeling approaches to tissue self-organization and the application of engineering principles to solve medical problems. It also discusses tools, applications, and medical implications, particularly in embryo development, wound healing, and cancerous diseases, concluding with future developments.

Covering subcellular to supracellular levels, this book is an interdisciplinary guide for researchers in cell biology, biophysics, developmental biology, and more.
