Mechanics of Cells and Tissues in Diseases/(Set Mechanics of Cells and Tissues in Diseases, Volume 1+2)

The mechanical properties of cells can be used to distinguish pathological from normal cells and tissues in many diseases. This two-volume work outlines the physics behind cell and tissue mechanics, describe the methods which can be used to determine their mechanical properties, and present various diseases in which a mechanical fingerprint could be established. Vol. 1. Biomedical Methods. Vol. 2. Biomedical Applications.
