The mathematical approach described herein shows how various types of diffusion phenomena, linear and nonlinear, can be obtained in suitable asymptotic limits. Time scaling related to cell movement and biological activity are shown to play a crucial role in determining the macroscopic equations corresponding to each case.engjournal articlehttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0898122107001198http://www.sciencedirect.comrestricted access519.8751-76Kinetic theorymulticellular systemsasymptotic limitsnonlinear problemsbacterial chemotaxisasymptotic analysismathematical-modeldiffusion limitkinetic-modelsequationsaggregationdictyosteliumangiogenesisinvasionBiomatemáticasInvestigación operativa (Matemáticas)2404 Biomatemáticas1207 Investigación Operativa
