The form and function of living systems are intimately tied to the nature of surrounding fluid environments, which commonly exhibit nonlinear and history dependent responses to forces and displacements. With ever-increasing capabilities in the visualization and manipulation of biological systems, research on the fundamental phenomena, models, measurements, and analysis of complex fluids has taken a number of exciting directions. In this book, many of the world?s foremost experts explore key topics such as: Macro- and micro-rheological techniques for measuring the material properties of complex biofluids and the subtleties of data interpretation Experimental observations and rheology of complex biological materials, including mucus, cell membranes, the cytoskeleton, and blood The motility of microorganisms in complex fluids and the dynamics of active suspensions Challenges and solutions in the numerical simulation of biologically relevant complex fluid flows This volume will be accessible to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in engineering, mathematics, biology, and the physical sciences, but will appeal to anyone interested in the intricate and beautiful nature of complex fluids in the context of living systems. 410 0$aBiological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering,$x1618-7210 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aBiological physics 606 $aFluid mechanics 606 $aCell physiology 606 $aAmorphous substances 606 $aComplex fluids 606 $aBiomathematics 606 $aBiological and Medical Physics, Biophysics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008 606 $aEngineering Fluid Dynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15044 606 $aCell Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33010 606 $aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25021 606 $aMathematical and Computational Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M31000 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aBiological physics. 615 0$aFluid mechanics. 615 0$aCell physiology. 615 0$aAmorphous substances. 615 0$aComplex fluids. 615 0$aBiomathematics. 615 14$aBiological and Medical Physics, Biophysics. 615 24$aEngineering Fluid Dynamics. 615 24$aCell Physiology. 615 24$aSoft and Granular Matter, Complex Fluids and Microfluidics. 615 24$aMathematical and Computational Biology. 676 $a530 676 $a530.41 676 $a570.285 676 $a571.4 676 $a571.6 676 $a620.1064 702 $aSpagnolie$b Saverio E$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300430103321 996 $aComplex Fluids in Biological Systems$92511522 997 $aUNINA
