The mechanics underlying the form and structure of biological
tissues is being increasingly investigated and appreciated, with
new results appearing at a fast pace. Cellular Patterns covers the
salient elements of this thriving field of research in a textbook
style, including both historic landmark results and recent
achievements. By building on concepts such as packing, confinement,
surface tension, and elastic instabilities, the book explains the
structure and the shape of sheet-like and bulk tissues by adapting
the mechanics of continuous media to living matter. It reviews
experimental results and empirical laws, and wherever possible, it
discusses more than a single theoretical interpretation of a given
phenomenon. The in-depth treatment of technical details, the many
boxes summarizing essential physical and biological ideas, and an
extensive set of problems make this book suitable as a
complementary textbook for a graduate course in biophysics and as a
standalone reference for students and researchers in biophysics,
bioengineering, and mathematical biology interested in the
mechanics of tissue. Features: Provides an overview of patterns and
shapes seen in animal tissues in addition to an interpretation of
these structures in terms of physical forces and processes Contains
detailed analysis and a critical comparison of mechanical models of
cells, tissues, and morphogenetic movements Presents a visually
rich style which is accessible to physicists and biologists alike
