Symmetry breaking events are critical for the survival of living
systems. They are required for cell division, development, and
movement in all organisms from single-celled species to human
beings. Moreover, in multicellular organisms, symmetry breaking
allows the generation of cells with different fates and underpins
the complex arrangement of tissues and organs achieved during
embryogenesis.
Written and edited by experts in the field, thiscollection from
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology explores how symmetry
breaking occurs in biology and the roles of these events at
numerous different levels. The contributors examine the mechanisms
by which cells polarize, divide asymmetrically, and produce
asymmetric structures, providing examples from bacteria, yeast,
plants, invertebrates, and mammals. Including discussions of the
molecular basis of polarization mechanisms, asymmetric division of
stem cells during development, the generation of left-right
asymmetry of the body axis in mammals, and theoretical approaches
to symmetry breaking, the volume is a vital reference for
molecular, cell, and developmental biologists, as well as physical
scientists interested in how and why symmetry breaking occurs in
living systems.
