Isolating the first spark of life on Earth is a matter of biology, geology, and chemistry—but it's also an amazing math problem. At least, that's how Varun Varanasi viewed it when he was a Yale ...

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells – and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & ...

One of the most enduring, basic questions of life is: How does it happen? For instance, in human development, how do cells self-organize into skin, muscles or bones? How do they form a brain, a finger ...

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 formal foundations of systems biology were articulated in the early 2000s, when Leroy Hood and colleagues at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle proposed a framework combining systematic ...
