Trends in Biophysics: From Cell Dynamics Toward Multicellular Growth Phenomena

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.

This book covers a wide scope of biological approaches to such biological phenomena as cell division, motility, collective cell behavior, multicellular structures, morphogenesis, and tumor development. Over the past two decades, biologists have generated large sets of experimental data and discovered a lot of facts that need explanation. This biological boom attracts physicists who believe they can help to develop a theoretical framework ...
