In this comprehensive resource, experts in the field describe state-of-the-art techniques and introduce the most recent technological advances and discoveries in cell mechanobiology. The first work of its kind, integrating cellular mechanobiology with micro-nano techniques, it is ideal for students and researchers in biomedical and mechanical engineering.

The first of its kind, this comprehensive resource integrates cellular mechanobiology with micro-nano techniques to provide unrivalled in-depth coverage of the field, including state-of-the-art methods, recent advances, and biological discoveries. Structured in two parts, the first part offers detailed analysis of innovative micro-nano techniques including FRET imaging, electron cryo-microscopy, micropost arrays, nanotopography devices, laser ablation, and computational image analysis. The second part of the book provides valuable insights into the most recent technological advances and discoveries in areas such as stem cell, heart, bone, brain, tumor, and fibroblast mechanobiology. Written by a team of leading experts and well-recognised researchers, this is an essential resource for students and researchers in biomedical engineering.

Yu Sun is a Professor at the University of Toronto with cross-appointments in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is the Canada Research Chair in Micro- and Nano-Engineering Systems. He was inducted Fellow of ASME, IEEE, and CAE for his work on micro-nano devices and robotic systems. His awards include the 2010 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Early Career Award and an NSERC E. W. R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship in 2013. Deok-Ho Kim is a Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Washington. His active research in the areas of micro/nanotechnologies, systems mechanobiology and tissue engineering has been recognized with many awards including the Samsung Humantech Thesis Award (2009), the Harold M. Weintraub Award in Biological Sciences (2010), the American Heart Association National Scientist Development Award (2012), the KSEA Young Investigator Award (2013), and the BMES-CMBE Rising Star Award (2013). Craig A. Simmons is a Professor at the University of Toronto with cross-appointments in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering.
