Abstract

"Meant for undergraduate- to graduate-level biological physics and quantitative biology students and researchers, this book is a self-contained, quantitative introduction to how classical field theories of matter, such as diffusion theory, elasticity theory and hydrodynamics, have helped physicists understand many facets of material behavior. After introducing readers to these physical insights and quantitative tools, the authors then dig deep into a range of fascinating biological case studies across scales - from how filaments and motors make molecular scale assemblies, to how cells organize to form tissues, to how animals form collectives in herds, flocks, and schools. In sum, the book will provide a quantitative introduction to the physics of elastic and fluid materials and then apply this physics to the fascinating and counterintuitive behaviors of active matter systems and biological materials via a range of examples across scales, from cytoskeletal organization to tissue dynamics to the collective motions of animals;"

Abstract

La 4e de couverture indique : "Le monde de la cellule, incroyablement encombré mais extraordinairement actif, n'a rien de comparable à notre expérience quotidienne. Un regard quantitatif permet de mieux comprendre l'organisation dynamique de la cellule. Ce livre explore les grandeurs caractéristiques de la biologie cellulaire : la taille, les concentrations, l'énergie, la durée et l'information aux différentes échelles, de la molécule à la population cellulaire. Pour cela, il rassemble les données issues de travaux scientifiques récents, avec le souci d'établir des relations entre les différents organismes-modèles. Il s'appuie ensuite sur cette classification pour examiner la signification physiologique de ces données, dans un dialogue permanent entre mesures expérimentales, interprétation et prédictions théoriques. Le lecteur pourra ainsi acquérir une intuition profonde des processus qui animent la cellule-et découvrir de nouvelles facettes de ce monde microscopique. Cet ouvrage est destiné aux étudiants de licence en sciences de la vie, et constitue un support pédagogique pour les enseignants."

Abstract

Physical Biology of the Cell is a textbook for a first course in physical biology or biophysics for undergraduate or graduate students. It maps the huge and complex landscape of cell and molecular biology from the distinct perspective of physical biology. As a key organizing principle, the proximity of topics is based on the physical concepts that
