Living systems cell cycles

The a-dispersion exhibited by cell suspensions could basically be explained by rather complementary mechanisms, formally described by different microscopic models of cell systems, as the ones based either on displacement of counter-ions (Gheorghiu, 1993, 1994) or on shape effects (e.g., exhibited by clusters of interconnected cells as shown by Vrinceanu and Gheorghiu, 1996 Asami et al., 1999 Gheorghiu et al., 2002, 2010). These studies described both a and P dispersions based on unitary microscopic models. The reports emphasizing shape effect on the impedance spectra of (non)spheroidal living cells in suspension have also supported application of time-based impedance spectroscopy assays to noninvasively assess cell dynamics (e.g., cell-cycle progression). 

Kauffmann defined a living system as a physical cell able to self reproduce and at least able to complete a single thermodynamic cycle that executes work. A minimal model of primitive self maintaining cells named chemoton was defined by Ganti It is composed of ...
