Description
Summary:This book, 'Mechanics in Development and Disease,' edited by Celeste M. Nelson and Lance A. Davidson, explores the role of mechanical forces in developmental biology and disease. It provides in-depth insights into the mechanics underlying the development of various biological systems, including the salivary gland, lung, and embryo. The book discusses topics such as epithelial cell mechanics, branching morphogenesis, and the fusion of physics and biology. It aims to bridge the gap between physics and biology, offering a comprehensive understanding of how physical forces influence biological processes. The intended audience includes researchers and students in developmental biology, biophysics, and related fields, with a focus on understanding the mechanical aspects of biological development and disease pathogenesis.
