Integrated Nano-Biomechanics (Micro and Nano Technologies) (New)

Integrated Nano-BiomechanicsAuthor(s): Takami Yamaguchi, Takuji Ishikawa, Yohsuke Imai\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier - Health Sciences Division, United States\nImprint: Elsevier - Health Sciences Division\nISBN-13: 9780323389440, 978-0323389440\nSynopsis\nIntegrated Nano-Biomechanics provides an integrated look into the rapidly evolving field of nanobiomechanics. The book demystifies the processes in living organisms at the micro- and nano-scale through mechanics, using theoretical, computational and experimental means. The book develops the concept of integrating different technologies along the hierarchical structure of biological systems and clarifies biomechanical interactions among different levels for the analysis of multi-scale pathophysiological phenomena. With a focus on nano-scale processes and biomedical applications, it is shown how knowledge obtained can be utilized in a range of areas, including diagnosis and treatment of various human diseases and alternative .
