This topic asked a question – can we do more than merely describe bone architecture, or analyze its mechanical performance? Can we get insights into the pattern forming mechanisms that generate bone’s adaptive architecture? First, I should express gratitude on behalf of myself and co-editors Daniel Chappard and Andy Pitsillides, to the authors who contributed articles
In order to clarify the meaning of this topic with its strange title, I contributed an article (Salmon) “Non-linear pattern formation in bone growth and architecture.”
