Mathematical models can be useful to developmental biologists, in particular in helping to bridge the gap in understanding between proposed molecular interactions inside and between cells and their ...

It’s hard for a neurosurgeon to navigate a brain. A key challenge is gooeyness. The brain is immersed in cerebrospinal fluid; when a surgeon opens the skull, pressure is released, and parts of the ...

The back of a tiger could have been a blank canvas. Instead, nature painted the big cat with parallel stripes, evenly spaced and perpendicular to the spine. Scientists don't know exactly how stripes ...

Cancer poses significant challenges due to the development of resistance and the likelihood of relapse. Resistance may arise from permanent genetic changes in cancer cells or non-genetic alterations ...

A simple mathematical model has helped chemists selectively synthesise a novel interwoven catenane structure. Researchers say models such as these may help improve chemists’ understanding of how to ...

Jennifer Flegg receives funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC). Michael P.H. Stumpf has received funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council. Biology is rich in ...

Last week, Google Research held an online workshop on the conceptual understanding of deep learning. The workshop, which featured presentations by award-winning computer scientists and neuroscientists ...

The cover art for the roadmap – "Two Beasts" by artist Ben Day Todd – was chosen as an apt metaphor for the beautiful, strange and evolving relationship between mathematics and cancer. (Courtesy: Ben ...
