Ebook: Mechanics of Cells and Tissues in Diseases: Volume 2 Biomedical Applications

This book is dedicated to the discussion of several biomedical applications of the mechanical phenotyping of cells and tissues to specific disease models. The topical chapters on mechanics in disease are preceded by chapters describing cell and tissue structure and their relationship with the biomechanical properties, as well as by the description of dedicated sample preparation methods for the nano- and microscale mechanical measurements.

• Introduces the basics of physics and biology of the cell before delving into the mechanics of diseases.
• With detailed explanation of sample preparation and characterization techniques.
• Plenty of real-life examples, from heart infarction to cancer.
