Biomechanics of physiological flows continues to be an emerging research field since the pioneer works conducted by the groups of Prof. Fung, McDonald and Caro on hemodynamics. It has been a very active field of research largely benefitting from the incommensurable improvements of imaging and visualization technologies both in the clinical and laboratory environments, exponential rise of numerical capabilities and the advent of experimental technologies among which one can cite microfluidics. All these have revolutionized research in Biofluids and on Cardiovascular Flows. The 2nd Volume of the Biomechanics of Living Organs series, entitled "Biofluids for Modelling of Physiological Flows: I. Microflows at cellular scale� will provide an overview of the biomechanical aspects of physiological flows, with an emphasis on microflows at cellular scale. It will provide students, researchers, clinicians and engineers with a comprehensive set of interdisciplinary knowledge on the main scientific topics and issues related to microflow modelling. This volume will not only include outstanding examples of modelling the cellular response to physiological microflow conditions in humans, thus improving the understanding of mechanotransduction processes, but also present original microfluidic devices and applications in biomicromechanics.
