Embryogenesis and cancer progression: discrete theoretical methods applied to living systems
The discreteness of biological components, whether they be proteins in a cell or individuals in an ecological population, has important consequences for the dynamics of biological systems. This concept is quite natural for statistical physicists, but not widely recognised in the life sciences. I will discuss some examples relevant to cell biology, cancer progression, and embryo development, in which stochastic process theory along with agent-based computer simulations have helped provide new insights and understanding.
