Dynamics of cellular motility

Masatoshi Murase047193576X, 9780471935766

Uses nonlinear dynamics as a foundation to approach oscillations in motile systems, presenting mechano-chemical oscillary systems as a prototype of nonlinear science. Offers the concept that very simple nonlinear models can have complicated behaviors and that a mathematical analysis of these models can aid in understanding biological processes. Surveys the latest experimental and theoretical results. Also contains a slew of figures and diagrams.
