Red Blood Cell Aggregation Oguz Baskurt Akdeniz University, Turkey

Björn Neu Nanyang Technology University, Singapore

Herbert J. Meiselman University of Southern California, USA

Red blood cells in humans—and most other mammals—have a tendency to form aggregates with a characteristic face-to-face morphology, similar to a stack of coins. Known as rouleaux, these aggregates are a normally occurring phenomenon and have a major impact on blood rheology. What is the underlying mechanism that produces this pattern? Does this really happen in blood circulation? And do these rouleaux formations have a useful function? The first book to offer a comprehensive review of the subject, Red Blood Cell Aggregation tackles these and other questions related to red blood cell (RBC) aggregates. The book covers basic, clinical, and physiological aspects of this important biophysical phenomenon and integrates these areas with concepts in bioengineering. It brings together state-of-the-art research on the determinants, mechanisms, and measurement and effects of RBC aggregation as well as on variations and comparative aspects. After an introductory overview, the book outlines factors and conditions that affect RBC aggregation. It presents the two hypotheses— the bridging model and the depletion model— that provide potential mechanisms for the adhesive forces that lead to the regular packing of the cells in rouleaux formations. The book also reviews the methods used to quantify RBC aggregation in vitro, focusing on their importance in clinical practice. Chapters discuss the effect of RBC aggregation on the in vitro rheology of blood as well as on tube flow. The book also looks at what happens in the circulation when red blood cells aggregate and examines variations due to physiological and pathophysiological challenges. The concluding chapter explores the formation of red blood cell aggregates in other mammals. Written by leading researchers in the field, this is an invaluable resource for basic science, medical, and clinical researchers; graduate students; and clinicians interested in mammalian red blood cells.

Mechanobiology Handbook Edited by

Jiro Nagatomi Clemson University, South Carolina, USA

Mechanobiology—the study of the effects of mechanical environments on the biological processes of cells—has evolved from traditional biomechanics via the incorporation of strong elements of molecular and cell biology. Currently, a broad range of organ systems are being studied by surgeons, physicians, basic scientists, and engineers. These mechanobiologists aim to create new therapies and further biological understanding by quantifying the mechanical environment of cells and the molecular mechanisms of mechanically induced pathological conditions. To achieve these goals, investigators must be familiar with both the basic concepts of mechanics and the modern tools of cellular/molecular biology. Unfortunately, current literature contains numerous studies that misuse standard mechanical estimations and terminology, or fail to implement appropriate molecular analyses. Therefore, the Mechanobiology Handbook not only presents cutting-edge research findings across various fields and organ systems, but also provides the elementary chapters on mechanics and molecular analysis techniques to encourage cross-field understanding and appropriate planning. Aided by the continuous advancement of research tools in both mechanics and biology more sophisticated experiments and analyses are possible, thus fueling the growth of the field of mechanobiology. Considering the complexity of the mechanics and the biology of the human body, most of the world of biomechanics remains to be studied. Since the field is still developing, the Mechanobiology Handbook does not force one unified theory, but brings out many different viewpoints and approaches to stimulate further research questions. • Presents research data and viewpoints from diverse fields of mechanobiology • Includes background information in mechanics and cell biology • Explores application areas such as tissue engineering

Introduction to Complexity and Complex Systems Robert B. Northrop University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA

The boundaries between simple and complicated, and complicated and complex system designations are fuzzy and debatable, even using quantitative measures of complexity. However, if you are a biomedical engineer, a biologist, physiologist, economist, politician, stock market speculator, or politician, you have encountered complex systems. Furthermore, your success depends on your ability to successfully interact with and manage a variety of complex systems. In order not to be blindsided by unexpected results, we need a systematic, comprehensive way of analyzing, modeling, and simulating complex systems to predict non-anticipated outcomes. In its engaging first chapters, the book introduces complex systems, Campbell's Law, and the Law of Unintended Consequences, and mathematics necessary for conversations in complex systems. Subsequent chapters illustrate concepts via commonly studied biological mechanisms. The final chapters focus on higher-level complexity problems, and introduce complexity in economic systems. Designed as a reference for biologists and biological engineers, Introduction to Complexity and Complex Systems lends itself to use in a classroom course to introduce advanced students studying biomedical engineering, biophysics, or physiology to complex systems. Engaging and illustrative, this book aids scientists and decision makers in managing biological complexity and complex systems. • Describes the characteristics of certain complex living systems • Provides dynamic models for various complex systems • Offers present-day examples for dealing with complex systems • Includes homework problems for better comprehension Selected Contents

A unique introductory text, this book is written for engineers and scientists with little background in molecular biology, genomics, and proteomics, who are working with, or planning to work with, living systems. The authors assume familiarity with basic calculus, physics, and linear algebra. They describe the very complex biochemical relations that permit life to exist, highlighting the specialized organic molecules in living organisms, and how they interact and react. This is a professional primer, not intended as a replacement for formal, in-depth course work, but intended to broaden the background and pique the interest of those new to this area. • Defines complex terminology in a large, comprehensive glossary • Addresses ethical issues in stem cell research, cloning, and the creation of geneticallymodified plants and animals • Contains a sizeable bibliography for further independent study of discussed topics • Describes the role of stem cells in regenerative medicine and in cancer treatment • Comprises robust chapters on nucleic acids and proteins—the building blocks of molecular biology

The interdisciplinary field of biomedical engineering requires its practitioners to know and master not only engineering skills, but also a diversity of material in the biological sciences. This text helps biomedical engineering students and professionals strengthen their skills in the network of applied mathematics that ties together these diverse disciplines. Based on the author's 30 years of experience in teaching as well as his personal research on neurosensory systems, this book, now in its second edition, provides a ready source of information on the specialized mathematical techniques most useful in describing and analyzing biomedical signals. • Focuses on the mathematical tools required to analyze and describe the signals and systems found in biomedical engineering • Includes a comprehensive chapter on joint time-frequency analysis of nonstationary biomedical signals, and the use of wavelets in JTFA • Explores the mathematics of tomographic imaging • Describes the analytical signal and the Hilbert transform • Discusses the analysis of nonlinear systems, nonlinear oscillators, and biological clocks • Introduces the analysis of and modeling strategies for complex systems Solutions manual available upon qualifying course adoption
