Trends in Biophysics

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.
