Function and Regulation of Cellular Systems [Hardcover]

Current biological research demands the extensive use of sophisticatedmathematical methods and computer-aided analysis of experiments anddata. This highly interdisciplinary volume focuses on structural,dynamical and functional aspects of cellular systems and presentscorresponding experiments and mathematical models.The book may serve as an introduction for biologists, mathematicians andphysicists to key questions in cellular systems which can be studiedwith mathematical models. Recent model approaches are presented withapplications in cellular metabolism, intra- and intercellular signaling,cellular mechanics, network dynamics and pattern formation. In addition,applied issues such as tumor cell growth, dynamics of the immune systemand biotechnology are included.Current biological research demands the extensive use of sophisticatedmathematical methods and computer-aided analysis of experiments anddata.
