Our research topics cover developmental processes (cell differentiation, morphogenesis, and growth) as well as tissue\/organ remodeling and regeneration which underlie functional adaptation to the environment. A major focus of our research is to understand how well-organized dynamics of living systems emerges from complex molecular and cellular interactions. To this end, we are integrating biomechanics and mechanobiology approaches to highlight the roles of \u201cadaptation to mechanical environment\u201d and \u201chierarchy of structure and function\u201d in the living organisms using mathematical modeling, simulation and experiments.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"bg-field\">\n<div class=\"field\">\n<h4>Biomechanics of bone functional adaptation<\/h4>\n<div class=\"with-photo\">\n<p class=\"txt\">Bone can remodel its outer shape and inner structure to adapt to mechanical environments.
