Myosin are a diverse superfamily of molecular motors for translocating actin filaments or translocating vesicles or other cargo on fixed act in filaments. There are currently fifteen distinct classes in the supe rfamily, and this new editions provides a complete survey. It incorpor ates much of the latest research, including links between mutations in myosin and human diseases.

This book is an attempt to bridge the widening gap between bioengineer ing, cardiovascular and clinical science and practice. It is based on a conference that included flow modelling in arteries and bypass graft s, concepts of fluid dynamics and turbulence in the system, and heomor heology and haemodnamics exploring factors that play a role in coronar y circulations. This is a collection of papers from leaders in each of these and related fields and will be of major importance to anyone wo rking in the mathematical or medical professions as an up-to-date trea tment on the study of biological...
