Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume explores how cells and tissues sense and respond to mechanical forces, revealing their roles in health and disease, and presenting the latest models and therapeutic strategies in the field of mechanobiology.All living organisms are subject to mechanical forces, such as tension, compression, shear, torsion, bending and friction. Organisms and their components must sense and respond to these forces. Cells, cellular organelles, tissues and organs detect the physical properties of their internal and external environments, including spatial topography, substrate rigidity, compactness and porosity. After sensing these mechanical cues, they transmit the information to their structural and molecular components. These components then adjust the cell's structure, molecular composition, gene expression, signalling pathways, spatial arrangement, cell cycle, longevity, and other functions.The book looks at new developments in our understanding of these processes in various cells, describes the roles of mechanosensing and mechanotransduction in disease, and presents novel mechanosensation models and therapeutic approaches.…

About the Author
Malgorzata Kloc: Prior to completing her postdoctoral training in Canada, Dr. Kloc was a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of Warsaw, Poland. She also served as a Research Associate in the Department of Biology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. While completing her postdoctoral training, Dr. Kloc earned the AHFMR Research Award from the University of Calgary and the MRC Biotechnology Training Award from Dalhousie University. She joined the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center as a Research Scientist in the Department of Molecular Genetics in 1987, and became an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology there in 2006. Dr. Kloc joined the Houston Methodist Research Institute in 2008. Currently, Dr. Kloc is the Weill Cornell Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology at The Houston Methodist Hospital.
Jarek Wosik: After completing his PhD at the Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences in Poland in 1986, he worked as a Research Scientist at the Research and Development Center for Semiconductors, the Institute of Electron Technology, the Institute of Electronic Materials Technology, and at the Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Science. In 1987, he moved to Houston and worked at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Houston, and Texas Heart Institute. In 2003, he became a Research Professor at the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Texas Center for Superconductivity, University of Houston. He is a member of the American Physical Society, Material Research Society, and International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. Since 2001, he has also been a Director of High Frequency Bioengineering Laboratory. His scientific interests include designing magnetic nanoconstructs for the imaging and hyperthermia of tumor cells and neovasculature, water extraction from lunar polar ice by microwave heating, development of noninvasive sensors of metabolic activity, and electromagnetic time-reversal techniques for targeted radiofrequency cancer therapy. He also closely collaborates with Dr. M. Kloc on the magnetic field-induced cytoskeleton alteration to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs.

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.
