Excerpt from the Editor's preface

Advanced Course of Tissue Remodeling (ACTR) has been chaired by Professor Telega. He proposed the formula of the course and has invited leading Polish and foreign researchers, who have presented the modern state-of-the-art and main research topics related to tissue remodeling. The course was a successful event. It attracted over 40 participants, mainly from Poland, but also from other European countries. Eleven key-note lectures, and several contributed papers have been presented.

The present volume contains a set of review articles concerning the topics outlined above. With a wealth of experimental facts, theoretical insights and computational results, not to mention the exhaustive bibliography reference lists, these articles will certainly prove to be useful for all interested in studying tissue remodeling problems.
