In this expository discussion, we explore the use of 'mass transport,' the classical Monge mass transfer problem and the contemporary development of its kinetic or evolutionary counterpart, to describe intracellular transport mechanisms. At its core, this theory offers a gradient flow for entropy or free energy and thus represents some way of un...

Mass transfer plays a critical role controlling the effectiveness of anticancer therapies. The effectiveness of chemotherapeutic molecules is controlled by their clearance, diffusion, uptake and rate of action. Non-intuitively, there is an optimum in efficacy for both diffusion and uptake. This observation has numerous implications for the desig...
