Ebook: Mechanics of Cells and Tissues in Diseases: Volume 1 Biomedical Methods

This book presents a comprehensive description of the basic concepts of soft matter mechanics and of the nano- and microscale biomedical methods that allow characterizing the mechanical properties of cells and tissues.

• 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.
