Molecular and Cellular Biomechanics (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Layton, Bradley

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book bridges the gap between life sciences and physical sciences by providing several perspectives on cellular and molecular mechanics on a fundamental level. It begins with a general introduction to the scales and terms that are used in the field of cellular and molecular biomechanics and then moves from the molecular scale to the tissue scal
