Complex Systems in Biomedicine

Mathematical modeling of human physiopathology is a tremendously ambitious task. It encompasses the modeling of most diverse compartments such as the cardiovas- lar, respiratory, skeletal and nervous systems, as well as the mechanical and bioch- ical interaction between blood flow and arterial walls, and electrocardiac processes and electric conduction in biological tissues. Mathematical models can be set up to simulate both vasculogenesis (the aggregation and organization of endothelial ce...
