Innovative Approaches to Cell Biomechanics From Cell Migration to On-Chip Manipulation /

This book covers topics on mechanosensing, mechanotransduction, and actin cytoskeletal dynamics in cell motility. 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 fo...
