{pdf} Fractals in Biology and Medicine: Volume IV (Mathematics and Biosciences in Interaction) Gabriele A. Losa (Editor), Danilo Merlini (Editor), Theo F. Nonnenmacher (Editor), Ewald R. Weibel (

This volume is number four in a series of proceedings volumes from the International Symposia on Fractals in Biology and Medicine in Ascona, Switzerland which have been inspired by the work of Beno?t Mandelbrot seeking to extend the concepts towards the life sciences. It highlights the potential that fractal geometry offers for elucidating and explaining the complex make-up of cells, tissues and biological organisms either in normal or in pathological conditions.
