A field that uses mathematical models to explore how living organisms regenerate.
AboutAbout the lab
Decoding the regeneration of living things through equations
Mathematical biology is a field that studies biological phenomena and ecosystems using theories from mathematics and physics, and at Kyushu University it is led by Associate Professor Hiroshi Yoshida.
The aim is to build mathematical models that reproduce phenomena of interest, deepen understanding of those phenomena by analyzing the models, and present predictions that can be tested.
Associate Professor Yoshida studies the length ratios of animal limb segments and the regeneration of amputated limbs, using a model that represents a population of multiple cells with multivariable polynomials.
Key terms
- Mathematical model
- A representation of the mechanism of a phenomenon under study in terms of equations or rules. It is calculated to reproduce the phenomenon and used for prediction
- Fibonacci ratio
- The ratio of adjacent numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. Also called the golden ratio
- Segment regeneration
- When a limb such as a cricket's leg is amputated, the regeneration of the part beyond the cut, including its joints
