The application of methodological approaches and mathematical
formalisms proper to Physics and Engineering to investigate and
describe biological processes and design biological structures has
led to the development of many disciplines in the context of
computational biology and biotechnology. The best known applicative
domain is tissue engineering and its branches. Recent domains of
interest are in the field of biophysics, e.g.: multiscale mechanics
of biological membranes and films and filaments; multiscale
mechanics of adhesion; biomolecular motors and force
generation.
Modern hypotheses, models, and tools are currently emerging and
resulting from the convergence of the methods and phylosophycal
apporaches of the different research areas and disciplines. All
these emerging approaches share the purpose of disentangling the
complexity of organisms, tissues, and cells and mimiking the
function of living systems.
The contributions presented in this book are current research
highlights of six challenging and representative applicative
domains of phyisical, engineering, and computational approaches in
medicine and biology, i.e tissue engineering, modelling of
molecular structures, cell mechanics and cell adhesion processes,
cancer physics, and physico-chemical processes of metabolic
interactions. Each chapter presents a compendium or a review of the
original results achieved by authors in the last years.
Furthermore, the book also wants to pinpoint the questions that are
still open and that could propel the future research.
