Viscoelasticity and Collective Cell Migration: An Interdisciplinary Perspective Across Levels of Organization focuses on the main viscoelastic parameters formulated based on multiscale constitutive modeling and how to measure these rheological parameters based on existent micro-devices such as micro-rheology and micro-elastography. The book sheds light on inter-relationships across viscoelasticity scales, an essential step for understanding various biomedical processes such as morphogenesis, wound healing and cancers invasion. Cumulative effects of structural changes at subcellular and cellular levels influence viscoelasticity at a supracellular level are also covered, providing valuable insights for biologists, physicists, engineers, students and researchers in the field of developmental biology.

As this is a complex multidisciplinary field, perspectives are included from experts in biology, biochemistry, biomedicine, biophysics and biorheology. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics that represent challenges and the necessity for further development in the field.

Dr. Ivana Pajic-Lijakovic is a scientific advisor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Serbia. Her research interest is related to biological physics, biorheology and biomechanics. She has previously worked as a guest editor for various special issues and has published a book with Elsevier titled: ‘’Viscoelasticity and Collective Cell Migration: An Interdisciplinary Perspective Across Levels of Organization (2021). Her research has been published in multiple leading international peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Elias Barriga is a former University College London postdoc and current group leader at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia (IGC), Portugal Lisbon. His research focuses in understanding how mechano-molecular interactions synchronise morphogenesis in development and regeneration.
