A new review explains how turning to mathematics is helping researchers decode one of cancer’s most elusive traits: its ability to evolve and adapt. Understanding how cancers change over time is ...

Cancer poses significant challenges due to the development of resistance and the likelihood of relapse. Resistance may arise from permanent genetic changes in cancer cells or non-genetic alterations ...

Why do parasites harm their hosts? That's a question evolutionary biologists ask as they try to predict how a parasite might ...

Scientists have used mathematical and computer modeling to demonstrate the impact of skin homeostasis on driver and passenger mutations. All normal human tissues acquire mutations over time. Some of ...

Why do parasites harm their hosts?That's a question evolutionary biologists ask as they try to predict how a parasite might evolve and perhaps become ...

Scientists have developed a mathematical model that predicts how the number and effects of bacterial mutations leading to drug resistance will influence the success of antibiotic treatments.
