The authors come from the biophysics, bioengineering and physical chemistry communities and each joins the discussion with a unique perspective on biological systems. Consequently, the approaches range from finite element methods commonly used in continuum mechanics to models of the cytoskeleton as a cross-linked polymer network to models of glassy materials and gels. Studies reflect both the static, instantaneous nature of the structure, as well as its dynamic nature due to polymerization and the full array of biological processes. While it is unlikely that a single unifying approach will evolve from this diversity, it is the hope that a better appreciation of the various perspectives will lead to a highly coordinated approach to exploring the essential problems and better discussions among investigators with differing views. 410 0$aCambridge texts in biomedical engineering. 606 $aCytoskeleton$xMechanical properties 606 $aCytology 615 0$aCytoskeleton$xMechanical properties. 615 0$aCytology. 676 $a571.6/54 701 $aMofrad$b Mohammad R.
