Introduction: Biomechanics from Molecules, Cells, Tissues to Organs and Tissue Regeneration

Abstract

INTRODUCTION This Special Session “Biomechanics from Molecules, Cells, Tissues to Organs and Tissue Regeneration” has organized by a diverse group of biomechanics researchers in the United States of America. Most people in this group have heritages rooted in mainland of China and are performing the state of art biomechanics research and education in the United States of America. They have been actively involved in the scientific and educational exchanges in biomechanics research and education between Mainland China and the United States of America. Since 2001, they have been organizing and participating in China Overseas Workshop on Biomechanics (2001 in Beijing, 2004 in Beijing and Shanghai, and 2007 planned in Guangzhou). The third China Overseas Workshop on Biomechanics will be held in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China (July 4-7, 2007). This international Workshop has been listed as one of the satellite conference of ISB 2007. The organizers and delegates of the Workshop treasure these unique opportunities brought by the ISB 2007 organizing committee and are privileged to organize the special session of “Biomechanics from Molecules, Cells, Tissues to Organs and Tissue Regeneration”.
