'Advances in Cell Mechanics' presents the latest developments in cell mechanics and biophysics, mainly focusing on interdisciplinary research in cell biology and the biophysics of cells. Moreover, a unique feature of the book is its emphasis on the molecular and complex continuum modeling and simulations of the cells. It may be the first work that brings rigorous and quantitative scientific analysis and state-of-the-art simulation technology into cell biology research. The book is intended for researchers and graduate students working in the fields of molecular cell biology, bio-engineering and bio-mechanics, soft matter physics, computational mechanics, bio-chemistry and bio-medicine. All contributors are leading scholars in their respective fields. Dr. Shaofan Li is a professor and an expert for computational mechanics at the University of California-Berkeley, USA; Dr. Bohua Sun is a professor at Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa. Declarers the latest developments in cell biology from the perspective of molecular-physics, bio-mechanics, and multiscale modeling. Covers applicationsof the state-of-the-art atomistic, molecular, multiscale, and soft matter mechanics in order to understand cell biology. Serves as a detailed comprehensivereview on cell mechanics and physics. INDICE: Mechanics of Neurons and Neurotransmission. Molecular Damage Mechanics of Cells. Coarse-gained Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Cells. Opto-Hydrodynamic Trapping for Multiaxial Single-Cell Biomechanics. Modeling and Simulations of Cell Growth and Division. Computational Biphasic for Fibroblast Morphology. Theoretical Analysis on the Effect of Substrate Elasticity on CellularAdhesion. Modeling Cell Motion with Immersed Finite Element Method. MolecularDynamics Study of Talin-Vinculin Binding. Multiscale Simulations of Contact and Adhesion of Stem Cells.
