Ubiquitous and fundamental in cell mechanics, multiscale problems
can arise in the growth of tumors, embryogenesis, tissue
engineering, and more. Cell Mechanics: From Single Scale-Based
Models to Multiscale Modeling brings together new insight and
research on mechanical, mathematical, physical, and biological
approaches for simulating the behavior of cells, specifically tumor
cells. In the first part of the text, the book discusses the
powerful tool of microrheology for investigating cell mechanical
properties, multiphysics and multiscale approaches for studying
intracellular mechanisms in cell motility, and the role of
subcellular effects involving certain genes for inducing cell
motility in cancer. Focusing on models based on physical,
mathematical, and computational approaches, the second section
develops tools for describing the complex interplay of cell
adhesion molecules and the dynamic evolution of the cell
cytoskeleton. The third part explores cell interactions with the
environment, particularly the role of external mechanical forces
and their effects on cell behavior. The final part presents
innovative models of multicellular systems for developmental
biology, cancer, and embryogenesis. This book collects novel
methods to apply to cells and tissues through a multiscale
approach. It presents numerous existing tools while stimulating the
discovery of new approaches that can lead to more effective and
accurate predictions of pathologies.
