Special issue on ‘active behavior in soft matter and mechanobiology’

https://researchopenworld.com/recent-trends-and-future-challenges-in-the-biomechanics-of-soft-active-materials/#

“…Interestingly, as our understanding of the behavior of biological tissues increased, novel and more challenging questions arise [3][4][5][6][7]. In particular, the today challenge faces the theoretical and computational modeling of soft active materials, which inherently involve a sophisticated multiphysics setting [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. To further complicate the scenario, state-of-the-art experimental imaging allowed us to understand the microstructural organization of soft media better at different scales [20][21][22][23].…”
