•Irreversibility is the fundamental quantity for the analysis of biosystems.•The entropy generation describes irreversibility.•Cell nanomechanics is useful in biological and medical use.•A thermodynamic approach to cell nanomechanics is suggested.
Biomechanical analyses of DNA have pointed out the connections among forces, thermodynamics and kinetics. The entropy generation approach has been suggested as a thermodynamic approach to evaluate the accessible states for cancer systems, in relation to their specific thermodynamic quantities, including mechanical properties. In this paper, a theoretical approach for the thermodynamic evaluation of the nano-behaviour of the cell wall is suggested. The aim is to provide theoretical bases to the analysis of cells and their properties by applying the thermodynamic approach to irreversibility.
