Neuronal Mechanics and Transport
This comprehensive volume compiles cutting-edge multidisciplinary research focused on the intricate biophysical mechanisms and physical forces that drive the growth, elongation, and structural formation of axons and dendrites. Moving beyond traditional biochemical paradigms, the text bridges experimental cell biology with mathematical modeling to examine how cytoskeletal dynamics, motor-driven intracellular transport, membrane adhesion, and tissue substrate rigidity collectively govern neuronal morphogenesis. Featuring primary studies and expert reviews, the collection sheds vital light on the structural mechanics underlying nervous system development, traumatic injury responses, and the pathological progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Ultimately, it serves as an indispensable framework for neurobiologists, biophysicists, and bioengineers striving to unlock new therapeutic avenues for neural regeneration.
