Adhesion of Cells, Viruses and Nanoparticles

"Adhesion of Cells, Viruses and Nanoparticles" aims to address the chemistry of adhesion between cells, viruses and proteins. Until now this topic has been discussed in terms of biochemistry or in terms of adhesive molecules. The new approach presented here aims to describe cell adhesion in terms of van der Waals forces acting between deformable particles of known elastic, geometric and surface properties.
