Summary:	All living matter is comprised of cells and, when studied by different sciences, they are seen differently. From a physics standpoint, one of the main questions is the physical movement of all these molecules between organelles within the cell, as well as their exchange with the extracellular medium. The aim of this book is to look into the basic physical phenomena occurring in cells.
