The goal of tissue engineering is to mitigate the critical shortage of donor organs via in vitro
fabrication of functional biological structures. Tissue engineering is one of the most …

Embryonic morphogenesis requires the execution of complex mechanisms that regulate the
local behaviour of groups of cells. The orchestration of such mechanisms has been mainly …

The central insight of Darwin's Origin of Species is that evolution is an ecological
phenomenon, arising from the activities of organisms in the'struggle for life'. By contrast, the …

We introduce an Active Vertex Model (AVM) for cell-resolution studies of the mechanics of
confluent epithelial tissues consisting of tens of thousands of cells, with a level of detail …

The develo** vertebrate gut tube forms a reproducible looped pattern as it grows into the
body cavity. Here we use developmental experiments to eliminate alternative models and …

Biofabrication of living structures with desired topology and functionality requires the
interdisciplinary effort of practitioners of the physical, life and engineering sciences. Such …

Tissue engineering is emerging as a possible alternative to methods aimed at alleviating the
growing demand for replacement tissues and organs. A major pillar of most tissue …

This Element is an introduction to the metaphysics of biology, a very general account of the
nature of the living world. The first part of the Element addresses more traditionally …

The continuum mechanical treatment of biological growth and remodeling has attracted
considerable attention over the past fifteen years. Many aspects of these problems are now …
