Foreword to the special issue on Bone and cartilage mechanobiology across the scales

The idea for this special issue on “Bone and Cartilage Mechanobiology Across the Scales” in the journal Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology is based on a series of high-quality presentations at two minisymposia at the 11th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM, July 20–25, 2014, Barcelona, Spain) and at the 7th World Congress of Biomechanics (WCB, July 6–11, 2014, Boston, USA). A total of 13 papers have been selected to present an unprecedented fashion of current state-of-the-art developments in computational and experimental assessment of bone and cartilage including the mechanobiology of structural adaptation as well as the cellular and biochemical underpinnings of tissue remodeling....
