This special issue on "Multiscale phenomena and patterns in biological systems" is an homage to the seminal contributions of Hans Othmer. He has remained at the forefront of multiscale modelling and pattern formation in biology for over half a century, developing models for molecular signalling networks, the mechanics of cellular movements, the interactions between multiple cells and their contributions to tissue patterning and dynamics. The contributions in this special issue follow Hans' legacy in using advanced mathematics to understand complex biological processes.
本特刊“生物系统中的多尺度现象和模式”是对 Hans Othmer 的开创性贡献的致敬。他在半个多世纪以来一直处于生物多尺度建模和模式形成的前沿，为分子信号网络、细胞运动力学、多个细胞之间的相互作用及其对组织模式形成和动力学的贡献开发了模型。本特刊中的贡献延续了 Hans 使用先进数学来理解复杂生物过程的传统。
