Computational biology: How mathematical modelling can help cure cancer
Understanding how living cells work is difficult due to the number of varied and complex processes occurring in them. This complexity can be elucidated by breaking these processes down into […]
Knee pain: ‘The hidden lesions’ and novel treatments
Knee pain and osteoarthritis (knee OA) impact hugely on quality of life. Drawing from clinical experience and research studies, Professor Shaw-Ruey Lyu and colleagues at the School of Medicine, Tzu-Chi […]
Shedding light on liver metastasis in pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive and lethal malignancy, largely as a result of its early spread, or ‘metastasis’, to the liver. Dr Tami Rubinek and Professor Ido Wolf, […]
Thoughts on Artificial Intelligence and the origin of life resulting from general relativity
NONLINEAR TIME AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and related subjects are all truly fascinating topics. As I will argue in this essay, they’re all parts of an overarching […]
DNA molecular scissors as new cancer chemotherapeutics
The discovery of efficient new metallodrugs with minimal side effects is urgently needed in cancer medicine. Associate Professor Andrew Kellett and Dr Creina Slator, Dublin City University, Ireland, have employed […]
Finding a pathway from grief to peace
There is way too much overwhelming grief and loss today as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, wars, and more. We need to find new vital pathways to transform the […]
Riding the cardiac wave: The link between incremental pulse wave velocity and cardiovascular risk factors
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major health concern. Arterial stiffening is known to be linked to CVD risk; therefore, establishing effective ways to measure this provides a novel way to […]
Accounting for biogeographical ignorance within biodiversity modelling
Biodiversity data can be analysed to predict species distribution at various scales of time and space. However, survey completeness and temporal decay in data quality introduce uncertainty into biodiversity models. […]
Research evaluation: Citation versus expert opinions
Research evaluation judgements appear to be moving away from expert opinions, with more emphasis instead resting on citation counts. Professor Lawrence Smolinsky and his colleagues from Louisiana State University, USA, […]
The TO-10 site in NW Italy is unsuitable for hosting the national nuclear waste repository
The storage and disposal of radioactive waste is an issue of global concern. Italy has recently started the procedure of identifying suitable sites for its national repository of low- and […]
