National and international health authorities have brought to the world’s attention the need to mitigate threats to mental health posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic crises that ensued in ...

Medicine makers need to get better at math. Improved mathematical modeling would accelerate the move toward automated processes, cut production times, and reduce costs. Researchers Francesco Destro, ...

Kimberly Dautel, a mathematical modeling Ph.D. student, is undertaking COVID-19 modeling research thanks to a fellowship from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and ...

From her early days in school, Nicole Rosato realized that math was one of her favorite subjects. This past May, Rosato, who is from Paramus, N.J., became the first student to graduate from RIT’s new ...

Researchers demonstrate how mathematical modeling combined with dynamic biomarkers can be used to characterize metastatic disease and identify appropriate therapeutic approaches to improve patient ...

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 ...

Researchers use mathematical modeling to help explain why CAR T cells work in some patients and not in others. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, or CAR T, is a relatively new type of therapy ...

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 ...

Mathematical modelling has emerged as an indispensable tool in understanding and optimising biosensor performance and reaction-diffusion processes. By coupling differential equations that describe ...

The mathematical modelling of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) integrates sophisticated analytical and numerical methods to describe and predict the behaviour of miniature devices that combine ...

Examples of pressures (P) and flow rates (Q) throughout the human body: on Earth (blue) and spaceflight (red) configurations. CREDIT Politecnico di Torino Politecnico di Torino Human spaceflight has ...

New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the lead-up to three large-scale iceberg "calving" events in Antarctica, ...
