Cell mechanics is the field of study that looks at how cells detect, modify, and respond to the physical properties of the cell environment. Cells communicate with each other through chemical and physical signals which are involved in a range of process from embryogenesis and wound healing to pathological conditions such as cancerous invasion. Similar principles are also likely to be critical for success in regenerative medicine. Cell mechanics is thus central to understanding these princi...

Bio-inspired computing (BIC) focuses on the designs and developments of computer algorithms and models based on biological mechanisms and living phenomena. It is now a major subfield of natural computation that leverages on the recent advances in computer science, biology and mathematics.The ideas provide abundant inspiration to construct high-performance computing models and intelligent algorithms, thus enabling powerful tools to solve real-life problems.Written by world-renowned research...

Finding patterns in biomolecular data, particularly in DNA and RNA, is at the center of modern biological research. These data are complex and growing rapidly, so the search for patterns requires increasingly sophisticated computer methods. Pattern Discovery in Biomolecular Data provides a clear, up-to-date summary of the principal techniques. Each chapter is self-contained, and the techniques are drawn from many fields, including graph theory, information theory, statistics, gene...

The analysis of drugs and their metabolites in biological media are now expected to routinely achieve � 20% accuracy in the ng/mL concentration level. Therefore, the availability and the selection of quality ion-pairs designating the analytes and their isotopically labeled analogs (ILAs) are important considerations in achieving the accuracy of qua
