Physical Biology latest papers http://stacks.iop.org/1478-3975 Physical Biology aims to further the understanding of biological systems at all levels of complexity, ranging from the role of structure and dynamics of a single molecule winthin an organism to cellular networks and organisms. The journal fosters the integration of biology with the traditionally more quantitative fields of physics, chemistry, computer science and other math-based disciplines. en-gb Copyright © IOP Publishing 2011 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://syndication.iop.org/about/ custserv@iop.org (Customer Services) Physical Biology http://images.iop.org/website-logos/ejs_logo.png http://stacks.iop.org/ Physics and the canalization of morphogenesis: a grand challenge in organismal biology http://stacks.iop.org/1478-3975/8/i=4/a=045002?rss=2.0 Author(s): Michelangelo von Dassow and Lance A Davidson<br>Affiliation(s): Department of Bioengineering, University of Pittsburgh, 3501 Fifth Ave, 5059-BST3, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA Mon, 11 Jul 2011 23:00:00 GMT Mesoderm layer formation in Xenopus and Drosophila gastrulation http://stacks.iop.org/1478-3975/8/i=4/a=045001?rss=2.0 Author(s): Rudolf Winklbauer and H-Arno J Muller<br>Affiliation(s): Department of Cell and Systems Biology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada;
