Abstract

Reaction-diffusion systems are widely used in the description of propagation phenomena in biological systems, where chemical and biological processes combine to produce spatial and temporal patterns. This paper explores the recent trends and developments in the study of reaction-diffusion waves, highlighting their relevance to diverse biological contexts such as population dynamics, ecology or biomedical applications. Progress in mathematical techniques and computational methods advances our ability to model these systems, providing deeper insights into wave propagation, stability, and bifurcations. We also discuss novel models and their implications for understanding processes such as biological invasions or disease proliferation. Overall, the integration of modern theoretical frameworks with experimental data continues to push the boundaries of this interdisciplinary field, revealing new applications and mechanisms underlying biological wave dynamics.
生物学中的反应-扩散波:新趋势、最新发展。
反应扩散系统被广泛应用于描述生物系统中的传播现象,其中化学和生物过程结合产生空间和时间模式。本文探讨了反应扩散波研究的最新趋势和发展,强调了反应扩散波与种群动力学、生态学或生物医学应用等各种生物环境的相关性。数学技术和计算方法的进步提高了我们为这些系统建模的能力,使我们对波的传播、稳定性和分岔有了更深入的了解。我们还讨论了新型模型及其对理解生物入侵或疾病扩散等过程的影响。总之,现代理论框架与实验数据的整合不断推动这一跨学科领域的发展,揭示了生物波动力学的新应用和内在机制。

期刊介绍: Physics of Life Reviews, published quarterly, is an international journal dedicated to review articles on the physics of living systems, complex phenomena in biological systems, and related fields including artificial life, robotics, mathematical bio-semiotics, and artificial intelligent systems. Serving as a unifying force across disciplines, the journal explores living systems comprehensively—from molecules to populations, genetics to mind, and artificial systems modeling these phenomena. Inviting reviews from actively engaged researchers, the journal seeks broad, critical, and accessible contributions that address recent progress and sometimes controversial accounts in the field.
