Mathematical models have become an integral part of cancer biology. They are useful tools for deriving a mechanistic understanding of dynamic processes in cancer. The somatic evolutionary process, ...

The new framework replaces approximations, accurately modeling current crowding and spreading resistance in 2D materials to ...

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 ...

Three-dimensional snowflakes can now be grown in a computer using a program developed by mathematicians at UC Davis and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. No two snowflakes are truly alike, but they ...

Climate-driven disturbances such as marine heat waves are rapidly reducing coral cover and degrading reef ecosystems ...

Human cancers are thought to be sustained in their growth by a pathologic counterpart of normal adult stem cells: cancer stem cells. This concept was first developed in human myeloid leukemias and is ...

A new mathematical model has applications to the study of gas kicks in deep-water oil wells, which in worst-case scenarios can lead to blowouts. Oil well control is one of the most important processes ...

This is the great mystery of human vision: Vivid pictures of the world appear before our mind’s eye, yet the brain’s visual system receives very little information from the world itself. Much of what ...
