Researchers need mathematical models of multiple scales to track, measure, and analyze mechanisms/substances (media) and the physical movement of that media (transport) at the organ, tissue, cellular, and molecular level to solve various problems in biology. This book is a solid resource of mathematical models for researchers across a broad range of scientific and engineering problems such as the effects of drug delivery, chemotherapy, or insulin intake to interpret transport experiments in areas of cutting-edge biological research. A wide range of emerging theoretical and experimental mathematical methodologies are offered by biological topic to appeal to individual researchers to assist them in solving problems in their specific area of research. Researchers in biology, biophysics, biomathematics, chemistry, engineering and clinical fields specific to transport modeling will find this resource indispensible.
