Mechanosensing and Mechanochemical Transduction in Extracellular Matrix: Biological, Chemical, Engineering, and Physiological Aspects


Overview

Mechanosensing and Mechanochemical Transduction in Extracellular Matrix is the only single authored text on biological polymers available for bioengineering and biomedical engineering students. This book describes the structure of polymers and how these molecules are put together to make the tissues of the body and also their role in surgical implants and in structural diseases. Mechanosensing and Mechanochemical Transduction in Extracellular Matrix is intended to serve as a textbook at the graduate and advanced undergraduate level in a biomedical engineering curriculum.
