Synopsis: This book provides an overview of recent mathematical models for dynamics in cellular systems and offers a unique vision of the field by prominent experts. It covers, among others, the regulatory basis of oscillations in biological systems; ergodic and chaotic properties in biological models with the example of maturity distribution of precursors of blood cells; time-delayed feedbacks; mathematical models of cell division and heterogeneous stem cell regeneration; quantitative mathematical modeling of glucose regulation; data-driven models of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia; and effects of irradiation and antioxidants in Alzheimer’s disease. This book is directed towards mathematicians interested in learning about modeling in cellular systems and is accessible also to theoreticians in biology and medicine.
