Neuware - This comprehensive second edition provides a pedagogical introduction to cell mechanics and mechanobiology. featuring quantitative descriptions of key concepts and solved examples throughout. The textbook demonstrates how understanding cellular responses to mechanical forces allows us to predict cell behavior and functionality in various environments.Introduction to Cell Mechanics and Mechanobiology, Second Edition, asks key questions about the quantitative concepts that comprise this interdisciplinary field. The authors provide clear explanations of complex mechanobiological phenomena, from single-molecule mechanics to whole-cell responses. This book covers essential topics, including cellular polymers, cytoskeleton networks, membrane mechanics, and mechanotransduction. There are primer chapters on solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, statistical mechanics, and cell biology to ensure accessibility for students from diverse backgrounds.Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in biomedical engineering, bioengineering, and mechanical engineering, users will appreciate complete derivations of relevant equations, practical laboratory applications, and comprehensive coverage of nuclear biomechanics. The twelve detailed chapters provide a complete framework for understanding the technical and biological aspects of cellular mechanics. Thus, this book is an invaluable resource for mastering the quantitative principles of mechanobiology.…

About the Author
Christopher R. Jacobs (1965–2018) was a professor of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University, where he served as the director of the Cell and Molecular Biomechanics Lab. A recognized leader in the field, Dr. Jacobs made seminal contributions to the understanding of bone cellular mechanotransduction and computational biomechanics, conducting research that aided in the development of new therapies for age-related bone loss and osteoporosis. His dedication to bridging the disciplines of mechanics and biology continues to influence the field.
Hayden Huang is a biomedical engineer by training. He currently works on issues at the intersection of health care and technology to help inform policymakers. Previously, he was a faculty member in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University, where his research investigated cell mechanics and cardiovascular physiology. Dr. Huang was a key architect of the first edition of Introduction to Cell Mechanics and Mechanobiology, drawing on his experience teaching the subject to a wide range of students from engineering to biological backgrounds.
Mohammad R. Kaazempur Mofrad is a professor of Bioengineering and Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley, where he leads a multidisciplinary research program at the interface of biomechanics, mechanobiology, artificial intelligence (AI), and computational biology. His laboratory investigates how physical forces shape biological structure and function across molecular, cellular, and multicellular scales, while also developing computational tools and AI-driven approaches to advance human health.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
