A tribute to Dick Heinegård

This issue of Matrix Biology commemorates the memory of Dick Heinegård and his exceptional contributions to identify extracellular matrix molecules and their interactions that form cartilage matrices. This tribute to him demonstrates the development of his cartilage matrix model and how this model relates to the articles in this Matrix Biology Cartilage issue.

Chris Harrison RESEARCH BRIEF

My research explores, develops and evaluates novel technologies and techniques that aim to overcome challenges in interactions between humans and computers, especially in emerging use modalities such as mobile computing, touch interfaces and gestural interaction. Beyond my immediate background in computer science, I draw on a diverse set of skills, including interaction design, physical fabrica...
