text: By applying methods and principles from the physical sciences to biological
problems, D'Arcy Thompson's On Growth and Form demonstrated how mathematical reasoning
reveals elegant, simple explanations for seemingly complex processes. This has
had a profound influence on subsequent generations of developmental biologists.
We discuss how this influence can be traced through twentieth century morphologists,
embryologists and theoreticians to current research that explores the molecular
and cellular mechanisms of tissue growth and patterning, including our own studies
of the vertebrate neural tube.

text: Tissues are thought to behave like fluids with a given surface tension. Differences
in tissue surface tension (TST) have been proposed to trigger cell sorting and
tissue envelopment. D'Arcy Thompson in his seminal book ‘On Growth and Form’ has
introduced this concept of differential TST as a key physical mechanism dictating
tissue formation and organization within the developing organism. Over the past
century, many studies have picked up the concept of differential TST and analyzed
the role and cell biological basis of TST in development, underlining the importance
and influence of this concept in developmental biology.
