title: A mathematical model that mimics the bursting oscillations in pancreatic beta-cells.
abstract: A revised version of Rössler's dual principle is used to realize a geometrical mechanism for chaos generation. The resulting mathematical model is a singularly perturbed system with three time scales. The system is then used to mimic the glucose-induced electrical activity of pancreatic beta-cells.
