Predicting and controlling disease outbreaks would be easier and more reliable with the wider application of mathematical modelling, according to a new study. Predicting and controlling disease ...

Researchers have developed a three-dimensional mathematical model of prostate cancer. The model depicts various processes, including tumour growth, genetic evolution and tumour cell competition.

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 ...

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, ...

Modern human and veterinary medical interventions to combat infectious diseases depend on the continued efficacy of antimicrobial drugs. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the quintessential One Health ...

Scientists have developed mathematical models that analyze the data obtained from an initial wave of the influenza pandemic to predict the dynamics of subsequent waves. Such predictions could be ...

Mathematical and statistical models have become powerful tools to explain these dynamics. However, the quality of the information used to construct such models is crucial to improve the chances of ...

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 ...

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 ...
