A team of researchers have expanded Alan Turing's seminal theory on how patterns are created in biological systems. This work may answer whether nature's patterns are governed by Turing's mathematical ...

Skin color patterns in animals arise from microscopic interactions among colored cells that obey equations, say investigators. Researchers report that a lizard acquires its adult skin color by ...

The nervous system is incredibly complex and begins developing very early on in life, then goes on to be the last one finished. New work has described a pattern of organization among cells that create ...

In 1952, Alan Turing, a British mathematician best known for his work on code-breaking and artificial intelligence, was convicted of engaging in homosexual acts and sentenced to chemical castration.

The eye contains complex layers of cells, one of which is called retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Scientists at the National Eye Institute (NEI, a part of the National Institutes of Health) have ...

History knows him as the man who outsmarted Nazi cryptographers, only to be chemically castrated and driven to suicide by the country he helped save. But in the final years of his life, even as he ...

The 2PM explains how our sleep patterns are shaped by two factors - a pressure to sleep that builds the longer we are awake and diminishes during sleep, and the near 24-hour rhythm of our internal ...

Phase I study of fenretinide (4-HPR) oral powder in patients with recurrent or resistant neuroblastoma: New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy (NANT) Consortium trial ...

The latest research on a Neanderthal infant from Amud Cave in Israel is giving a clearer picture of how different early ...

A team of researchers at EMBL have expanded Alan Turing's seminal theory on how patterns are created in biological systems. This work, which was partly done at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), ...
