Self-Organized Criticality: A Prophetic Path to Curing Cancer
arXiv:1210.0048
Abstract
While the concepts involved in Self-Organized Criticality have stimulated thousands of theoretical models, only recently have these models addressed problems of biological and clinical importance. Here we outline how SOC can be used to engineer hybrid viral proteins whose properties, extrapolated from those of known strains, may be sufficiently effective to cure cancer.
