Morphogenesis and Pattern Formation in Biological Systems Experiments and Models / edited by T. Sekimura, S. Noji, N. Ueno, Philip Maini.

A central goal of current biology is to decode the mechanisms that underlie the processes of morphogenesis and pattern formation. Concerned with the analysis of those phenomena, this book covers a broad range of research fields, including developmental biology, molecular biology, plant morphogenesis...
