This Timeline article charts progress in mathematical modelling of cancer over the past 50 years, highlighting the different theoretical approaches that have been used to dissect the disease and the ...

Think back to middle school algebra, like 2 a + b. Those letters are parameters: Assign them values and you get a result. In ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex ...

New math model controls biological noise at single-cell level, offering a path to tackle cancer relapse and drug resistance.

Why does cancer sometimes recur after chemotherapy? Why do some bacteria survive antibiotic treatment? In many cases, the answer appears to lie not in genetic differences, but in biological noise - ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

A large-scale study has identified dozens of blood proteins linked to prostate cancer risk, some shared across populations, some unique to specific groups.

Brian P. Lazzaro from Cornell University discusses the role of dynamic feedbacks in determining infection outcomes ...

Smarter nickel coatings could make alkaline electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel, cheaper, faster to produce, and more efficient.

Researchers have proposed a unifying mathematical framework that helps explain why many successful multimodal AI systems work ...
