Fractals In Biology and Medicine, Volume II explores the potential of fractal geometry in understanding how to analyze natural shapes. The v olume devotes special emphasis to the complex field of human tumors by addressing the role of fractals in the design, organization and measu rement of cellular and molecular structures and of growth patterns in breast and skin carcinoma, in leukemic and lymphoma cells, As well as in bone, lung and renal diseases. The chapters are grouped into the fo llowing sections: Fractal design of biological structures and function s, Chromatin structure, DNA...

"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...
