TAILIEUCHUNG - Cytoskeletal Mechanics MODELS AND MEASUREMENTS

This book presents a full spectrum of views on current approaches to modeling cell mechanics. The authors of this book come from the biophysics, bioengineering, and physical chemistry communities and each joins the discussion with a unique perspective on biological systems. Consequently, the approaches range from finite element methods commonly used in continuum mechanics to models of the cytoskeleton as a cross-linked polymer network to models of glassy materials and gels. | CYTOSKELETAL MECHANICS MODELS AND MEASUREMENTS Edited by Mohammad R.

The authors of this book come from the biophysics bioengineering and physical chemistry communities and each joins the discussion with a unique perspective on biological systems. Consequently the approaches range from finite element methods commonly used in continuum mechanics to models of the cytoskeleton as a cross-linked polymer network to models of glassy materials and gels. Studies reflect both the static instantaneous nature of the structure as well as its dynamic nature due to polymerization and the full array of biological processes. While it is unlikely that a single unifying approach will evolve from this diversity it is our hope that a better appreciation of the various perspectives will lead to a highly coordinated approach to exploring the essential problems and better discussions among investigators with differing views. Mohammad R. K. Mofrad is Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at the University of California Berkeley where he is also director of Berkeley Biomechanics Research Laboratory. After receiving his PhD from the University of Toronto he was a post-doctoral Fellow at Harvard Medical School and a principal research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Roger D. Kamm is the Germeshausen Professor of Mechanical and Biological Engineering in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Biological Engineering Division at the Massachusetts Institute of .
