Mechanisms of Morphogenesis

About this book

Mechanisms of Morphogenesis, Third Edition offers a bottom-up discussion of mechanisms of cell and tissue morphogenesis in a diverse array of organisms, including prokaryotes, animals, plants and fungi. Across foundational, applied and methods-based chapters, this book examines molecular nano-machines cooperation, generate cell shape, direct cell migration, and shape, form and rates of growth of various tissues in the body. Each topic is illustrated with experimental data from real systems, with particular reference to gaps in current knowledge and likely future developments, along with strategies to apply basic morphogenesis science across ever evolving applications. Newly added chapters feature case-study-driven discussions of morphogenesis in natural embryos and organoids, and illustrate how pathological morphogenesis can generate variants of body form. This edition has also been updated with analysis of large-scale and scale-invariant mechanisms, for example, morphogenesis by differential growth in mechanically connected tissues. - Includes over 200 full color figures and charts - Offers an integrated view of theoretical developmental biology and computer modeling with laboratory-based discoveries - Includes applied, case-study-driven discussion of experimental techniques - Is organized around principles and mechanisms, using them to integrate discoveries from a range of organisms and systems across new applications - Covers recent developments in morphogenesis research, including morphogenesis in organoids, other engineered tissues, and an analysis of large-scale and scale-invariant mechanisms
