Biomechanical Aspects of Growth and Tissue Engineering

Abstract

All parents want healthy children. Everyone wants a strong and handsome body. We all believe that a proper level of exercise, i.e. a proper level of stress and strain, is necessary for health. This is common sense. If we can turn this common sense into a precise knowledge about stress and growth, then it will enlighten biology in general, help surgeons to engineer healing, throw light on physical education, sports techniques, health care, rehabilitation.
