Cytoskeletal Mechanics: Models and Measurements

The authors wish to thank John H. Hartwig for many years of fruitful collaboration on problems related to cell mechanics and the cytoskeleton. His insights with regard to the role of actin-binding proteins has been especially valuable. JLM acknowledges support from Whitaker Research Grant #RG-01-033 and thanks Mr. Ian Schwartz for Fig. 9-8.
