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.

Having levels of potassium that are too high or too low can be fatal. A new mathematical model sheds light on the often mysterious ways the body regulates this important electrolyte. Having levels of ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A single mathematical model can explain the pattern of folds seen on the brains of a range of primates, from bush babies to macaques to humans. Bruno Mota at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro ...

Researchers have developed a weather-driven early-warning system that integrates biological modelling with machine learning ...
