Cell and Matrix Mechanics
Explores a Range of Multiscale Biomechanics/Mechanobiology Concepts Cell and Matrix Mechanics presents cutting-edge research at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels in the field of cell mechanics. This book involves key experts in the field, and covers crucial areas of cell and tissue mechanics, with an emphasis on the roles of mechanical forces in cell–matrix interactions. Providing material in each chapter that builds on the previous chapters, it effectively integrates length scales and contains, for each length scale, key experimental observations and corresponding quantitative theoretical models. Summarizes the Three Hierarchical Levels of Cell Mechanics The book contains 14 chap...
Neuronal Mechanics and Transport
Understanding the underlying mechanisms of how axons and dendrites develop is a fundamental problem in neuroscience and a main goal of research on nervous system development and regeneration. Previous studies have provided a tremendous amount of information on signaling and cytoskeletal proteins regulating axonal and dendritic growth and guidance. However, relatively little is known about the relative contribution and role of cytoskeletal dynamics, transport of organelles and cytoskeletal components, and force generation to axonal elongation. Advancing the knowledge of these biomechanical processes is critical to better understand the development of the nervous system, the pathological progr...
The Influence of Substrate Elasticity and Shear Rate on Human Blood Platelet Contraction
Human blood platelets are small, anucleate cell fragments that are important for the life-saving mechanism of haemostasis, i.e. the process to prevent a haemorrhage. Upon injury, blood platelets adhere to the exposed extra-cellular matrix and spread, clot and contract to close the wound. This process has to work reliably in a multitude of different environments, including surrounding tissues of various stiffnesses as well as the exposure of different shear flows due to blood circulation. In the present work, the reaction of human blood platelets to such environments is reported. Specifically, the spatial and temporal contraction behaviour of platelets and its variation is studied in response...
Nuclear Mechanics and Genome Regulation
In recent years new discoveries have made this an exciting and important field of research. This exhaustive volume presents comprehensive chapters and detailed background information for researchers working with in the field of nuclear mechanics and genome regulation. - Both classic and state-of-the-art methods readily adaptable and designed to last the test of time - Relevant to clinicians and scientists working in a wide range of fields
Adhesion of Cells, Viruses and Nanoparticles
"Adhesion of Cells, Viruses and Nanoparticles" describes the adhesion of cells, viruses and nanoparticles starting from the basic principles of adhesion science, familiar to postgraduates, and leading on to recent research results. The underlying theory is that of van der Waals forces acting between cells and substrates, embodied in the molecules lying at the surfaces, together with the geometry and elasticity of the materials involved. The first part describes the fundamental background to adhesion principles, including the phenomenology, the important equations and the modeling ideas. Then the mechanisms of adhesion are explored in the second part, including the elastic deformations of sph...
