Cytomechanics : the Mechanical Basis of Cell Form and Structure /

Show other versions (1)

Genetic information determines the composition of molecules comprising cytoskeletal elements, membranes and receptors. The supramolecular arrangement of these components represents a self-assembly process controlled by physicochemical and mechanical interactions. This general hypothesis demarcates t...
