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. This volume 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.
