Entropy generation approach to cell systems

Cells can be regarded as engines that execute a series of chemical reactions. A malignant cell, that is, a cancerous cell, can be described as an open complex dynamic and self-organising system. The entropy generation approach has been used to evaluate the stationary states for cells in relation to the global results of the cell biophysical and biochemical processes. Then, an entropy generation approach can been used to evaluate malignant behaviour in terms of thermal, chemical and transport processes. A numerical evaluation of the mean value of the entropy generation for cancer is developed. A possible therapy against cancer has been suggested by using molecular thermalisation.
