Some of the most exciting developments in recent biomechanics research regard topics that lay at boundaries: boundaries between dimensional scales (i.e. cell-tissue interaction), between sub-systems (i.e. cardiovascular and musculoskeletal), or between different domains of biomedical knowledge (i.e. biology and engineering). This is a trend that we are observing in the entire biomedical research field, and undergoes the name of biomedical Integrative Research [1]. In order to follow this trend, every researcher needs to add to her tool chest two new tools: multiscale modelling, and team science.
