Abstract
The growth of biological systems described by the Gompertz and West-Brown-Enquist functions is considered in the framework of the space-like supersymmetric quantum mechanics. It has been shown that the supersymmetric effect of a fermion-boson conversion has a biological analogue in the phenomenon of a growth-regression transformation under the influence of a cycle-non-specific drug of a constant concentration. The results obtained reveal that the biological growth can be viewed as the macroscopic quantum phenomenon endowed with the space-like supersymmetric properties not established so far in the domain of biology and medicine.
