| Contents | Introduction, with the biological basis for cell mechanics / Roger D. Kamm and Mohammad R.K. Mofrad -- Experimental measurements of intracellular mechanics / Paul Janmey and Christoph Schmidt -- The cytoskeleton as a soft glassy material / Jeffrey Fredberg and Ben Fabry -- Continuum elastic or viscoelastic models for the cell / Mohammed [sic] R.K. Mofrad, Helene Karcher, and Roger D. Kamm -- Multiphasic models of cell mechanics / Farshid Guilak ... [et al.] -- Models of cytoskeletal mechanics based on tensegrity / Dimitrije Stamenović -- Cells, gels and mechanics / Gerald H. Pollack -- Polymer-based models of cytoskeletal networks / F.C. MacKintosh -- Cell dynamics and the actin cytoskeleton / James L. McGrath and C. Forbes Dewey, Jr. -- Active cellular motion : continuum theories and models / Marc Herant and Micah Dembo. |
| Summary | This book presents a full spectrum of views on current approaches to modeling cell mechanics. 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. |
