Mathematical Model Proposes Cell Revival After Death
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a mathematical framework to redefine cellular death, focusing on whether cells can return to a 'living' state. This new model, based on enzymatic reactions and the second law of thermodynamics, aims to quantify the life-death boundary, potentially allowing scientists to better understand and control cellular death. The research could have significant implications for biological and medical studies, challenging the notion that death is irreversible.
