Cover Story: Mechanical stimuli are crucial regulators of organ and tissue development, growth, and physiopathological changes. Various experimental techniques have been developed to analyze their passive mechanical response when dealing with cells. However, cells' mechanical properties could be affected by cell variability, extraction process, experimental procedures, and different models and assumptions. Therefore, this review analyzes the available literature on experimental chondrocyte and chondron biomechanics at the microscale, highlighting (i) the most common experimental techniques used, (ii) the results and models adopted, (iii) a critical perspective on features that could affect the results, and (iv) the quantification of structural and mechanical changes due to a degenerative pathology, such as osteoarthritis.

  • Camilla Stefani,
  • Luca Pecoraro,
  • Carl-Erik Flodmark,
  • Marco Zaffanello,
  • Giorgio Piacentini and
  • Angelo Pietrobelli

Several epidemiological studies have described childhood obesity as a risk factor for atopic disease, particularly asthma. At the same time, this association seems to be more conflicting for allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and chronic urticaria...
