Modeling has long played a key role in the drug discovery process, from isolating drug targets to screening and pharmacokinetics. Many pharmaceutical companies are currently facing patent expirations ...

Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions ...

Modeling complex systems When studying complex biological systems such as the immune system, scientists can extract many different types of data. Sequencing cell genomes tells them which gene variants ...

Modeling the Dynamics of Life: New Frontiers in Biological Physics and Mechanics is a special Collection of the npj Biological Physics and Mechanics journal, dedicated to the development and ...

Petri nets represent a versatile mathematical framework for modelling the discrete and often concurrent processes that underpin many biological systems. By representing interactions as networks of ...

Humans and animals detect different stimuli such as light, sound, and odor through nerve cells, which then transmit the information to the brain. Nerve cells must be able to adjust to the wide range ...

The growing popularity of generative AI, which uses natural language to help users make sense of unstructured data, is forcing sweeping changes in how compute resources are designed and deployed. In a ...

We all know someone who seems to defy aging-people who look younger than their peers despite being the same age. What's their secret? Scientists at Osaka University (Japan) may have found a way to ...

Biological engineering vs. biology are easy to confuse. If you don't want to make that mistake, read on. "Biologist" is an umbrella term encompassing many professions involving studying life and ...
