Symposium M
Biomechanics of Human Diseases: From Research to Applications
The application of biomechanics and biophysics at the molecular, cell and tissue level offers new insights into elucidating human physiology and pathophysiology.
A better understanding of cell mechanobiology in health and diseases enables discovery of novel physical biomarkers for disease diagnosis and therapy with progression towards precision medicine.
