QH323.5 570.15118 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on print version record. This text presents the latest trends in the modelling of biological systems from a mechanics perspective. It covers both fluid and solid mechanics, the modelling of growth in biological systems, and presents the application of physical methods for the modelling of systems in cellular biology, physiology and morphogenesis.
