520 "Fractals in Biology and Medicine" explores the potential
of fractal geometry for describing and understanding
biological organisms, their development and growth as well
as their structural design and functional properties. It
extends these notions to assess changes associated with
disease in the hope to contribute to the understanding of
pathogenetic processes in medicine. The book is the first
comprehensive presentation of the importance of the new
concept of fractal geometry for biological and medical
sciences. It collates in a logical sequence extended
papers based on invited lectures and free communications
presented at a symposium in Ascona, Switzerland, attended
by leading scientists in this field, among them the
originator of fractal geometry, Benoit Mandelbrot.
"Fractals in Biology and Medicine" begins by asking how
the theoretical construct of fractal geometry can be
applied to biomedical sciences and then addresses the role
of fractals in the design and morphogenesis of biological
organisms as well as in molecular and cell biology. The
consideration of fractal structure in understanding
metabolic functions and pathological changes is a
particularly promising avenue for future research
