With the continuous development of interdisciplinary research, the knowledge of dynamics has been widely applied to life sciences. To provide a panoramic view of the field of advanced interdisciplinary research, the review aimed to summarize the classical theory as well as the recent progress in the major subdisciplines of life sciences. The development of the interdisciplinary area requires the combination of theoretical and experimental studies in the future. To meet the challenges raised by life sciences, we should not only take full advantages of the existing methods, but also keep developing innovative approaches.
