[资源] 剑桥2012年英文原版Mechanics of the Cell 2nd ed

作者：David Boal
Simon Fraser University
Canada
Exploring the mechanical features of biological cells, including their architecture
and stability, this textbook is a pedagogical introduction to the
interdisciplinary fields of cell mechanics and soft matter physics from both
experimental and theoretical perspectives.
This second edition has been greatly updated and expanded, with new
chapters on complex filaments, the cell division cycle, the mechanisms
of control and organization in the cell, and fluctuation phenomena. The
textbook is now in full color which enhances the diagrams and allows the
inclusion of new microscopy images.
With more than 300 end-of-chapter exercises exploring further applications,
this textbook is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate
students in physics and biomedical engineering. A website hosted by the
author contains extra support material, diagrams and lecture notes, and is
available at www.cambridge.org/Boal.
David Boal is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physics at Simon
Fraser University, Canada. He has been working in the field of biophysics
for the past 20 years, and he now studies the mechanical issues in the origin
of life.
