Synopsis

This is the only single authored text on biological polymers available for bioengineering and biomedical engineering students. It offers the reader recent information in addition to models of how mechanical information is transduced into genetic and biochemical changes at the cellular and tissue levels. It describes the structure of polymers and how these molecules are put together to make the tissues of the body and also their role in surgical implants and in structural diseases. The book provides essential reading for biomedical engineers, biologists, physicians, health care professionals and other biomedical researchers who are interested in understanding how physical forces affect the biology, physiology and pathophysiology of humans. The author, Frederick H. Silver, Ph.D., is an expert on the effect of mechanical forces on extracellular matrix.
