Inspired by chemical signalling in cell organelles we analyse the effect of strongly layered domains on diffusion. Homogenisation reveals memory effects and splitting into PDE-ODE systems, i.e. the specific geometry of the domain has strong qualitative effects on the solution of the heat equation. We will discuss these results in context with phenomena observed in cell biology. |
