A general model for the transfer of ions and molecules between two cells via a gap junction is presented. This constitutes a dynamical system consisting of two connected parts: the dynamics of intracellular concentrations and electrical potentials, and the dynamics of the gating in the gap junction.

Solid tumours do not develop as a homogeneous mass of mutant cells, rather, they grow in tandem with normal tissue cells initially present, and may also recruit other cell types including lymphatic and endothelial cells. Many solid tumours contain a high proportion of macrophages, a type of white bl
Gene amplification is a common feature of tumors. Overexpression of some amplified genes plays a role in tumor progression. Gene amplification can occur either extrachromosomally as double-minute chromosomes (dmin) or intrachromosomally in the form of homogeneously staining regions (hsrs). Approxima
