Cellular Biophysics is a quantitatively oriented basic physiology
text for senior undergraduate and graduate students in
bioengineering, biophysics, physiology, and neuroscience programs.
It will also serve as a major reference work for
biophysicists.Developed from the author's notes for a course that
he has taught at MIT for many years, these books provide a clear
and logical explanation of the foundations of cell biophysics,
teaching transport and the electrical properties of cells from a
combined biological, physical, and engineering viewpoint. Each
volume contains introductory chapters that motivate the material
and present it in a broad historical context. Important
experimental results and methods are described. Theories are
derived almost always from first principles so that students
develop an understanding of not only the predictions of the theory
but also its limitations. Theoretical results are compared
carefully with experimental findings and new results appear
throughout. There are many time-tested exercises and problems as
well as extensive lists of references. The volume on the electrical
properties of cells covers both electrically inexcitable cells as
well as electrically excitable cells such as neurons and muscle
cells. Included are chapters on lumped-parameter and
distributed-parameter models of cells, linear electric properties
of cells, the Hodgkin-Huxley model of the giant axon of the squid,
saltatory conduction in myelinated nerve fibers, and voltage-gated
ion channels.
