Cells into organs, The Forces that Shape the Embryo, af J.P.Trinkaus

John P. Trinkaus, professor emeritus and senior research scientist in molecular, cellular and developmental biology at Yale University..

Author of the classic book "Cells into Organs: The Forces that Shape the Embryo," Trinkaus has been described by the National Cancer Institute as the world's leading expert on in vivo cell movements. Trinkaus provided readers with critical analyses of cell motility and the ability of cancerous and normal cells to invade other tissue. It was the first book that focused on the migration of tissues and cells and studied how they formed complex organs during development.
