Cell and Matrix MechanicsAuthor(s): Roland Kaunas, Assaf Zemel\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138073333, 978-1138073333\nSynopsis\nExplores a Range of Multiscale Biomechanics/Mechanobiology Concepts\n\nCell 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 cellmatrix 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. \n\nSummarizes the Three Hierarchical Levels of Cell Mechanics\n\nThe book contains 14 chapters and is organized into three sections. The first section focuses on the molecular.
