Uncovering mechanisms regulating immune system responses is key to strengthening and redirecting them whenever necessary in cancer and infections as well as understanding autoimmune diseases. However, ...

Medicine makers need to get better at math. Improved mathematical modeling would accelerate the move toward automated processes, cut production times, and reduce costs. Researchers Francesco Destro, ...

One of the greatest challenges in saving endangered species is to predict if an animal population will die out. Accurate and reliable models are crucial for conservationists. What does the blue whale ...

Scientists have developed a mathematical model that predicts how the number and effects of bacterial mutations leading to drug resistance will influence the success of antibiotic treatments.

A new review explains how turning to mathematics is helping researchers decode one of cancer’s most elusive traits: its ability to evolve and adapt. Understanding how cancers change over time is ...

A single mathematical model can explain the pattern of folds seen on the brains of a range of primates, from bush babies to macaques to humans. Bruno Mota at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro ...
