This textbook provides an intermediate-level physics course designed for biology majors, premed students, and research workers in biology and medicine. It focuses on the physics needed for biological problems, bridging the gap between general physics courses and the physics found in biological research literature.

Detailed analysis of fluid dynamics in the circulatory system, including laminar and turbulent flow, quantification of vascular resistance (PRU) using Poiseuille's Law, the application of the Law of Laplace to vessel wall tension, and the mechanics of cardiac muscle contraction (isometric vs. isotonic).

An introductory physics textbook specifically developed for life science students, aiming to illustrate the essential connections between physics and modern life sciences. It emphasizes that modern biology and medicine are becoming ever more quantitative and depend fundamentally on physics concepts.

This book explores the application of computational mechanics principles to biomedical sciences and medicine, focusing on measurements, models, and predictions within the field of computational biomechanics.

This book, edited by Zhu Zeng, focuses on Dendritic Cells (DCs), covering their roles as powerful antigen-presenting cells in host defense and maintaining homeostasis. It delves into the biophysics, biomechanics, and mechanobiology related to DCs, and examines their critical involvement in the tumor microenvironment and potential applications in DC-based tumor vaccines and treating immune-related diseases.
