This book presents views on approaches to modeling cell mechanics. The diversity of opinions stems from the different backgrounds of those who have contributed to the field. The authors come from the biophysics, bioengineering, and physical chemistry communities, and each joins …
Without a cytoskeleton, a neuron or glial cell would be a shapeless jelly mass unable to function in the milieu of the brain. If we are to understand neuronal cells function in health and disease, we must determine how the cytoskeleton forms and contributes to neural physiology …

Cytoskeleton and human disease
The cytoskeleton is made up of a large variety of specialized proteins and is a highly dynamic system that is involved in the majority of key cellular events. It is now clear that the cytoskeleton is often associated, and has diverse roles in human disease. Emerging understandin…
Annotation The cytoskeleton is comprised of a variety of specialized proteins, and is a dynamic structure that is involved in the majority of key cellular events. There is increasing interest in the role of the cytoskeleton in human disease. This volume brings together human dis…
