SynopsisMorphogenesis is the set of processes that generic shape and form in the embryo, and is an important and increasingly researched area within developmental biology. Providing an exciting and up-to-date account of the latest research into the factors that create biological form, 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 how molecular nano-machines cooperate, generate cell shape, and direct cell migration, Lo produce the 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. Key Features, Includes over 200 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, Is fully updated to cover recent developments in morphogenesis research, including morphogenesis in organoids, and other engineered tissues, and analysis of large-scale and scale-invariant mechanisms, 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.
