Synopsis

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.

• Describes biological mechanisms of cell self-rearrangement, from subcellular to supracellular levels
• Explores mathematical modeling approaches of tissue self-organization
• Considers engineering principles to solve biological and medical problems related to tissue self-organization
• Discusses tissue self-organization within various in vivo and in vitro organoid systems

From the Back Cover

Biophysics of tissue self-organization in morphogenesis: The role of dynamics along the biointerface examines interactions between tissue and the extracellular matrix. This interdisciplinary book covers the fundamentals of cell self-rearrangement and the inter-relation between these biological mechanisms and physical mechanisms responsible for tissue self-organisation. It provides an introduction to tissue self-organisation in morphogenesis before exploring its physics from subcellular to supracellular levels. Modeling approaches to tissue self-organization are explored, followed by discussion of the application of engineering principles to solve biological and medical problems related to the tissue self-organisation. A range of tools, applications, and medical implications are also covered, including embryo development, wound healing, and cancerous diseases. The book closes with a look to future developments in the field. Biophysics of tissue self-organization in morphogenesis: The role of dynamics along the biointerface provides a detailed introduction to this topic, and is a valuable resource for researchers across the areas of cell biology, cell physiology, biophysics, developmental biology, tissue biomechanics, and pathophysiology.
