Mathematical Models in Cell Biology and Cancer Chemotherapy

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Biomathematics ((LNBM,volume 30))

Abstract

Just as atoms are the fundamental units of elements, the cell is the fundamental unit of structure of all living things except viruses (see Appendix B). Simplistically, the cell consists of a collection of substances surrounded by a membrane. One of the most important of these substances is the genetic (or nuclear) material which directs the activities of the cell.
