Textbook in PDF format This book presents a comprehensive description of the basic concepts of soft matter mechanics and of the nano- and microscale biomedical methods that allow characterizing the mechanical properties of cells and tissues. Introduces the basics of physics and biology of the cell before delving into the mechanics of diseases. With detailed explanation of sample preparation and characterization techniques. Plenty of real-life examples, from heart infarction to cancer.
