Multiscale Modeling of the Skeletal System

Informationen zum Autor Marco Viceconti is a world expert in the computational modeling of musculoskeletal systems. The primary driving force behind the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) Initiative, which aims to develop the methods and technologies to make possible the dream of systems biology, physiome and systems medicine, he is currently the Director of the VPH Institute, the international no-profit organisation that drives the VPH Initiative. Klappentext Systematically working from the whole body down to cellular levels, this book presents a multiscale, integrative approach to skeletal research. Zusammenfassung Systematically working from the whole body down to the cellular level! this book presents an integrative! multiscale computational approach to skeletal research. Addressing biomechanical and mechanobiological processes! the reader will learn how computational modeling can determine the relationship between bone mechanics and disease. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
