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, ...

Recent mathematical advances have made it more feasible to model cancer from a mathematical viewpoint. For example, we now have individual-based modelling techniques that better represent the ...

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 ...

Physicists have developed new software for the life sciences. The software supports the evaluation of microscope-based observations of cell behaviour on micropatterned substrates. Scientists from ...

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, ...

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 ...

Why do we need to understand the dynamics of the cell cycle? The cell cycle is a mechanism that controls and integrates the stages of DNA synthesis, mitosis, and cell division. This mechanism dictates ...
