Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology (BMMB) is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Springer Science+Business Media. The journal was established in June 2002 and is currently edited by Gerhard A. Holzapfel and David Nordsletten. BMMB aims to promote basic and applied research in the fields of biomedical engineering, biomechanics, and mechanobiology. Publications may focus on new experimental results, theoretical developments, or computational approaches. The journal also accepts papers across the spectrum of scales, ranging from the nano-scale to the organ-scale.

Impact factor

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 3.623.^[1]

Aims & Scope

BMMB focuses on original research articles that address mechanical and/or biological phenomena at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and/or organism levels. Papers include innovative results from theoretical, computational or experimental research -- with most papers having a blend of these approaches. Of particular interest are investigations that investigate: (1) biomechanics at the cell-matrix level (in health or disease); (2) mechanobiology and interactions with other biochemical or transport processes; (3) interactions between mechanics and biology (including growth, remodeling, adaptation, etc); (4) application of therapeutics and diagnostics. Papers that publish models based on solid biomechanics, fluid mechanics or thermodynamics (or their interactions) are also encouraged.

Chief Editors

The current editor-in-chief's are Gerhard A. Holzapfel (Graz University of Technology; Norwegian University of Science and Technology) and David Nordsletten (University of Michigan; King's College London). Past editor-in-chief's include Jay D. Humphrey (Yale University), Larry Taber (Washington University St. Louis) and Peter Hunter (Auckland Bioengineering Institute, University of Oxford).
