Biological tissues are structurally, compositionally, and mechanically complex, which makes evaluating their biomechanical properties and parameters quite challenging. Inverse modeling informed by experimental data can aid in this effort, but only with appropriate methods, assumptions, and adequate verification. In this special issue, we focus on the critical challenges in evaluating tissue biomechanical properties and parameters from experimental and modeling perspectives.

Whether you are contributing an original research paper or a review of existing work, please discuss the fundamental challenges in your contribution, explain how this research addresses these challenges in the context of tissue biomechanics, and provide insights on potential future directions and unresolved challenges.
