"Adhesion of Cells, Viruses and Nanoparticles" describes the
adhesion of cells, viruses and nanoparticles starting from the
basic principles of adhesion science, familiar to postgraduates,
and leading on to recent research results. The underlying theory is
that of van der Waals forces acting between cells and substrates,
embodied in the molecules lying at the surfaces, together with the
geometry and elasticity of the materials involved. The first part
describes the fundamental background to adhesion principles,
including the phenomenology, the important equations and the
modeling ideas. Then the mechanisms of adhesion are explored in the
second part, including the elastic deformations of spheres and the
importance of the energy of adhesion as measured in various tests.
It is demonstrated that adhesion of cells is statistical and
depends on Brownian movement and on the complex multiple contacts
that can form as cells move around. Then, detailed chapters on cell
adhesion, contact of viruses and aggregation of nanoparticles
follow in Part 3. Finally, the last chapter looks to the future
understanding of cell adhesion and points out some interesting
directions of research, development and treatment of diseases
related to these phenomena. This book is an ideal resource for
researchers on adhesion molecules, receptors, cell and tissue
culturing, virus infection, toxicity of nanoparticles and
bioreactor fouling. It can also be used to support undergraduate
and Masters level teaching courses. "This is a fascinating book and
it is an invaluable resource for understanding
particle-particle/surface adhesion at micro- and nano- scales. I
intend to keep one for my future reference and highly recommend it
to my students." (Prof. Zhibing Zhang, School of Chemical
Engineering, University of Birmingham, UK)
