Timothy E. Saunders, Imag(in)ing growth and form, Mechanisms of Development, Volume 145, 2017, Pages 13-21, ISSN 0925-4773, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mod.2017.03.003. (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0925477317300199) Abstract: On Growth and Form has stood at the forefront of our understanding of the development of biological form for the past century. In this essay, I take a look at how modern techniques are enabling unprecedented insight into the spatio-temporal regulation of development, which facilitates testing of the ideas that D'Arcy Thompson laid down so brilliantly 100years ago.
