This book covers topics on mechanosensing, mechanotransduction, and actin cytoskeletal dynamics in cell motility. It will contribute to a better understanding of how cells functionally adapt to their mechanical environment as well as highlighting fundamental concepts for designing material niches for cell manipulation. With topics from multidisciplinary fields of the life sciences, medicine, and engineering, the book is the first of its kind, providing comprehensive, integrated coverage of innovative approaches to cell biomechanics. It provides a valuable resource for seniors and graduate students studying cell biomechanics, and is also suitable for researchers interested in the application of methods and strategies in connection with the innovative approaches discussed. Each section of the book has been supplemented with concrete examples and illustrations to facilitate understanding even for readers unfamiliar with cell biomechanics.
Okeyo Kennedy Omondi is an assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Tokyo in Japan. He is a member of the Japan Mechanical Engineering Society and The Society for Single-Cell Surveyor. He has actively researched on the mechanical regulatory mechanisms of cell migration and made pioneering findings on the role of mechanical factors in actin cytoskeleton regulation. His current research interests include cell manipulation and control of cellular functions using MEMS and microfluidic devices, and also the development of novel culture systems for stable and long term culture of stems cells and their characterization. He has authored several papers and won several awards, notably, the "Achievement Award 2014" by the Japan Mechanical Engineering Society.
