TAILIEUCHUNG - Biological Physics of the Developing Embryo

During development, cells and tissues undergo dynamic changes in pattern and form that employ a wider range of physical mechanisms than at any other time during an organism’s life. Biological Physics of the Developing Embryo presents a framework within which physics can be used to analyze these biological phenomena. Written to be accessible to both biologists and physicists, major stages and components of biological development are introduced and then analyzed from the viewpoint of physics. The presentation of physical models requires no mathematics beyond basic calculus. Physical concepts introduced include diffusion, viscosity and elasticity, adhesion, dynamical systems, electrical potential, percolation, fractals, reaction--diffusion systems, and cellular automata | Biological Physics of the Developing Embryo During development cells and tissues undergo dynamic changes in pattern and form that employ a wider range of physical mechanisms than at any other time during an organism s life.

With full-color figures throughout this comprehensive textbook teaches biophysics by application to developmental biology and is suitable for graduate and upper-undergraduate courses in physics and biology. Gabor Forgacs is George H. Vineyard Professor of Biological Physics at the University of Missouri Columbia. He received his . in condensed matter physics from the Roland Eotvos University in Budapest. He made contributions to the physics of phase transitions surface and interfacial phenomena and to statistical mechanics before moving to biological physics where he has studied the biomechanical properties of living materials and has modeled early developmental phenomena. His recent research on constructing models of living structures of prescribed geometry using automated printing technology has been the topic of numerous articles in the international press. Professor Forgacs has held positions at the Central Research Institute for Physics Budapest at the French Atomic Energy Agency Saclay and at Clarkson University Potsdam. He has been a Fulbright Fellow at the Institute of Biophysics of the Budapest Medical University and has organized several meetings on the
