<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Mechanobiology in Health and Disease</i> brings together contributions from leading biologists, clinicians, physicists and engineers in one convenient volume, providing a unified source of information for researchers in this highly multidisciplinary area. Opening chapters provide essential background information on cell mechanotransduction and essential mechanobiology methods and techniques. Other sections focus on the study of mechanobiology in healthy systems, including bone, tendons, muscles, blood vessels, the heart and the skin, as well as mechanobiology studies of pregnancy. Final chapters address the nascent area of mechanobiology in disease, from the study of bone conditions, skin diseases and heart diseases to cancer. A discussion of future perspectives for research completes each chapter in the volume. </p> <p>This is a timely resource for both early-career and established researchers working on mechanobiology. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dr. Stefaan Verbruggen holds a bachelor degree and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the National University of Ireland Galway, where his research focused on the mechanobiology of bone cells in both health and disease. His subsequent research was in the area of developmental biomechanics in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London, focusing on how the prenatal biomechanical environment affects the development of musculoskeletal diseases in later life. Dr. Verbruggen is currently a Research Fellow investigating the mechanobiology of cancer metastases in bone, in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University in New York and in the Institute of Bioengineering at Queen Mary University of London.
