It will contribute to a better understanding of how cells functionally adapt to their mechanical environment as well as highlighting fundamental concepts for designing material niches for cell manipulation. With topics from multidisciplinary fields of the life sciences, medicine, and engineering, the book is the first of its kind, providing comprehensive, integrated coverage of innovative approaches to cell biomechanics. It provides a valuable resource for seniors and graduate students studying cell biomechanics, and is also suitable for researchers interested in the application of methods and strategies in connection with the innovative approaches discussed. Each section of the book has been supplemented with concrete examples and illustrations to facilitate understanding even for readers unfamiliar with cell biomechanics.Frontiers of Biomechanics,2199-8515 ;1Biomedical engineeringRegenerative medicineTissue engineeringBiophysicsBiological physicsHuman physiologyBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700XRegenerative Medicine/Tissue Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16080Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008Human Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004Biomedical engineering.Regenerative medicine.Tissue engineering.Biophysics.Biological physics.Human physiology.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.Regenerative Medicine/Tissue Engineering.Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysics.Human Physiology.571.4571538610.28612612.028620Okeyo Kennedy Omondiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut739847Miyoshi Hiromiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autAdachi Taijiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910299704603321Innovative Approaches to Cell Biomechanics2531503UNINA
