Temporo-mandibular joint Special Issue: The unique developmental history of the TMJ and the complex etiology of TMDs necessitates the use of multiple model systems and therapeutic approaches. The present Special Issue seeks to characterise some of these model systems, uncover the molecular mechanisms contributing the TMDs as well as identify and examine therapeutic approaches to offset the deleterious effects of TMJ disease.
Submission deadline: 31st of July 2022

Bone Mechanics and Mechanobiology Special Issue: This Special Issue aims to provide a current overview of the complex interplay between the mechanics and biology of bone health, highlighting novel insights across all scales from the protein through the cell to the tissue and organ, afforded by advances in imaging, experimental mechanics, simulation, in vitro and in vivo model systems. Researchers studying all aspects of bone mechanics and mechanobiology, with a strong link to bone metabolism, are encouraged to submit original research or review articles to this Special Issue.
Submission deadline: 31st of December 2021
