New math model controls biological noise at single-cell level, offering a path to tackle cancer relapse and drug resistance.

Why does cancer sometimes recur after chemotherapy? Why do some bacteria survive antibiotic treatment? In many cases, the answer appears to lie not in genetic differences, but in biological noise - ...

Ever better experimental techniques allow us to perform experiments under tightly controlled conditions and can deliver gigantic amounts of data reflecting the complexity of biology. This has vastly ...

The study of biology will increasingly require skill in math, or “a toolbox of diverse mathematical approaches,” according to a new article published in the journal Science. I don’t know if biologists ...

Mathematical Biology aims at modeling natural, biological processes using mathematical techniques and tools. It has both practical and theoretical applications in biological research. Applying ...

These days Sneha Mitra, PhD, spends a lot of time thinking about T cells — a type of white blood cell that helps protect the body from infection and cancer. A postdoctoral fellow at the Sloan ...

On an August morning in a Northwestern developmental biology lab, a team of researchers casts its collective eyes on thousands of roundworms culled from sites around the globe. Using robotics to scan ...
