Preface SPECIAL ISSUE ON BRAIN NEURO-MECHANICS

In July 2010, the Centre for Mathematical Medicine organized the first interdisciplinary workshop on Brain Neuro-Mechanics, under the patronage of the Fields Institute. The focus of the workshop was on recent discoveries in fundamental brain science that could play an important role in improved medical diagnoses, treatment strategies and clinical protocols. The workshop brought together experts...

Hippo signaling: Special issue of BMB Reports in 2018

Since the first component of Hippo signaling, Wts in Drosophila, was identified in 1995, the progress of Hippo signaling studies has been very slow initially. However, after the findings suggesting that the core kinase pathway established in Drosophila was evolutionarily conserved in metazoans for the determination of organ size around 2008, the number of publications related to Hippo signaling...

Special Issue on the Mechanics and Design of Robotic Hands

There has been a renewed interest in recent years to work towards robotic hands that are effective in addressing the needs of modern robotic systems. As robots increasingly move out of the lab and into unstructured environments, the need for hands designed to function under the uncertainty and wide range of conditions associated with those environments has become more pressing. This special iss...
