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 ...

Human cancers are thought to be sustained in their growth by a pathologic counterpart of normal adult stem cells: cancer stem cells. This concept was first developed in human myeloid leukemias and is ...

Baez called for the development of new mathematics — he called it “green” math — to better capture the workings of Earth’s biosphere and climate. For his part, he sought to apply category theory, a ...

Abstract: Rubella, a viral infection preventable through vaccination, remains a public health concern despite the absence of recent outbreaks in the United States. The live attenuated rubella virus ...

Historically, mathematical models in ecology have been used largely to provide qualitative explanations for patterns in nature. A classic example of this approach was the effort to use competition ...
