Computational analysis using rigidity-theory indicates that activation of the human adenosine A 2A receptor (shown here) is regulated by long-range allosteric communication pathways (highlighted in ...

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.

Researchers regard the overall distribution of receptors in the brain – the receptome – as a new approach for computer models that reproduce the function of the brain, and for diagnostics and therapy ...

Mining is one of the industries that’s helped by mathematical modelling: models can predict ceiling collapses and keep miners safe. Sunshine Seeds/Shutterstock/For editorial use only Imagine dropping ...

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 ...

Adenosine receptors may hasten inflammatory responses to tau pathology, according to a paper published this month in Brain. Researchers led by David Blum of the University of Lille, France, reported ...

Serotonin is one of the primary chemicals that the brain uses to influence mood and behavior, and is a key target for psychiatric drugs. But to aid in the design of improved drugs scientists need to ...
