Coupled problems arising in biomechanics on the cellular and sub-cellular
scale are discussed based on two model systems: the human red blood cell (RBC) and
biopolymeric networks. We present a novel finite-element based model on cellular level for
RBC and demonstrate its potential to realistically simulate various experimental results
with one set of parameters. In addition to that we present a finite-element approach to
the computer aided analysis of biopolymer networks on sub-cellular level.
