We, the leaders of the ICRS, have been following the tragic events leading up to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine over the last week. We are deeply concerned and disturbed by the aggression against a democratic country leading to significant loss of life, displacement of families and destruction.
It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic news of the sudden death of our ICRS Fellow Member Prof. Dr. Michael Buschmann, Eminent Scholar and Chair of Mason’s Bioengineering Department in the College of Engineering and Computing in Fairfax, Virginia, USA.

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate JCJP’s inaugural Editor-in-Chief (EIC), Lisa A. Fortier, DVM, PhD, DACVS on her appointment to Editor-in-Chief/Division Director of the Publications Division with the American Veterinary Medical Association. Lisa has done a wonderful job during her tenure as EIC of our new Open Access journal, the Journal of Cartilage & Joint Preservation, and has put the new journal firmly on the map as the Official Journal of the ICRS. Her new appointment, however, has necessitated her stepping away from the JCJP editorship, effective July 1, 2021.
The International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society and Elsevier, a global research publishing and information analytics provider, today announced the launch of a new OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL, “The Journal of Cartilage & Joint PreservationTM (JCJP)” that will focus on whole joint health and support the cartilage community.
On behalf of the ICRS we would like to congratulate our member Prof. MD Leela Biant on having been voted as President Elect of the British Association of Surgery of the Knee (BASK). This is another very significant “first” as she is the first woman to hold the Post. Her term as President of BASK will be for 2021-22. Well done Leela!
