Biomechanics has become one of the most active research fields in biomedical engineering. In recent years, remarkable progresses in biomechanics have been made in exploring the mechanism from cellular and molecular level, and developing new therapeutic or diagnostic concepts and technologies based on biomechanical theory and methods, which effectively promote the development of basic biomedical science and clinic, and relevant research fields related to human health and diseases. In this review, the advances in biomechanics of vascular, musculoskeletal system, organ, cellular and molecular research fields, etc. in China during the year 2016-2018 were mainly introduced.
