Part 1. Cellular Mechanisms and their Impact on Mechanics
Chapter 1 Matrix-Modification by Cells : Exosomes and Cancer
Chapter 2 Endosomes and their Role in Cancer
Chapter 3 The Two Faces of Autophagy on Different Time Scales
Chapter 4 RNA's Benefit or Driver of Cancer and Cancer Mechanics
Chapter 5 Cancer Stem Cells and their Sorting out of Primary Tumors
Chapter 6 What is the Hallmark of Cancer and is the Number Still Rising?
Chapter 7 Effect of Temperature on Cancer and Cancer Mechanics
Part 2 Genetics-Based and RNA-Based Techniques in Cancer Treatment
Chapter 8 CRISPR/Cas System from a Biophysical PerspectiveThis book delves into the biophysical mechanisms which foster or fight cancer, and includes a detailed discussion of the role of RNA in cancer and cancer mechanics. There will be a focus on cutting edge research related to utilising RNA for a potential vaccine for cancer via genetic engineering through CRISPR/Cas 9. The book will present biophysical approaches to cancer and significant research findings that contribute to the field of physics of cancer from a biophysical-point-of-view.
