This section was added to serve truly interdisciplinary applied physics research. We welcome quantitative physical approaches to problems of biological and medical relevance. Our goal is to raise the visibility of this important border-crossing work in both arenas.
APS publishes a number of journals that feature the study of biological phenomena using physical approaches and investigations into the physical principles and mechanisms by which living organisms survive, adapt, and grow.
Biophysics is the field that applies the theories and methods of physics to understand how biological systems work. Biophysics has been critical to understanding the mechanics of how the molecules of life are made, how different parts of a cell move and function, and how complex systems in our bodies—the brain, circulation, immune system, and ...
Nov 1, 2015 · Mechanobiology is an emerging multidisciplinary field that encompasses cell and developmental biology, bioengineering and biophysics. Here we provide an introductory overview of the key players important to cellular mechanobiology, taking a biophysical perspective and focusing on a comparison between flat versus three dimensional substrates.
