Opis

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. It presents recent advances in biophysical studies of living cells and describes how a combination of quantitative live cell observations, detailed biochemical and biophysical data, and mathematical modeling are capable of answer many important biological questions and to achieve a more complete understanding of such complex phenomena.

Recenzje

This is a unique book that brings together the most prominent papers that use biophysical and computational approaches to answer fundamental questions in cell biology. Each paper is a milestone in the development of a novel biophysical technique or computational strategy that allows understanding molecular and cellular mechanisms of major cellular activities such locomotion, division, segregation of genetic material, and cell cycle progression. This is a must have book for every cell biologist who wants to use biophysical and computational approaches in research."
