    Meilleure citation de The Calculus of Life: Modeling Biomedical Systems

    “

    The math doesn't simplify the disease; it illuminates it by giving us a way to see the invisible forces—like the pressure pushing drugs out of a tumor or the chemotactic pull that leads a new blood vessel toward a starving cell.
