"...But we don't know any of those parameters, they're not measured under the same condition. So what we did here is consider that a biological pathway is very much like a communication network, a series of towers that you have moving signals around. Biology is just moving a signal around to accommodate blockages in vision, mutations, and so on. We went to the engineers and borrowed their communication engineer tools to allow us to simulate that behavior, because it's exactly the same problem, just implemented in a different way..."
I have been doing something like this for 2 years now, i.e. apply the fundamental principles of a micro-grid power network to my PCa treatment. And yes, "it's exactly the same problem, just implemented in a different way." .
