      ab: Cutaneous melanoma is a highly lethal form of cancer. Developing a medical image segmentation model capable of accurately delineating melanoma lesions with high robustness and generalization presents a formidable challenge. This study draws inspiration from cellular functional characteristics and natural selection, proposing a novel medical segmentation model named the vital characteristics cellular neural network. This model incorporates vital characteristics observed in multicellular organisms, including memory, adaptation, apoptosis, and division. Memory module enables the network to rapidly adapt to input data during the early stages of training, accelerating model convergence. Adaptation module allows neurons to select the appropriate activation function based on varying environmental conditions. Apoptosis module reduces the risk of overfitting by pruning neurons with low activation values. Division module enhances the network's learning capacity by duplicating neurons with high activation values. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the efficacy of this model in enhancing the performance of neural networks for medical image segmentation. The proposed method achieves outstanding results across numerous publicly available datasets, indicating its potential to contribute significantly to the field of medical image analysis and facilitating accurate and efficient segmentation of medical imagery. The proposed method achieves outstanding results across numerous publicly available datasets, with an F1 score of 0.901, Intersection over Union of 0.841, and Dice coefficient of 0.913, indicating its potential to contribute significantly to the field of medical image analysis and facilitating accurate and efficient segmentation of medical imagery.
