Modeling has long played a key role in the drug discovery process, from isolating drug targets to screening and pharmacokinetics. Many pharmaceutical companies are currently facing patent expirations ...

Modeling the Dynamics of Life: New Frontiers in Biological Physics and Mechanics is a special Collection of the npj Biological Physics and Mechanics journal, dedicated to the development and ...

In the original hit TV series Lost in Space, a human-like machine called Robot would execute commands only if they made sense. Otherwise, it would flail its arms and exclaim, “That does not compute!” ...

This review provides an overview of artificial intelligence–enabled biological models, focusing on their applications in designing biological molecules and systems. We review foundation models that ...

A new study shows that machine learning techniques can offer powerful new tools for advancing personalized medicine, care that optimizes outcomes for individual patients based on unique aspects of ...

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 ...

Biochemist John Carson uses The Virtual Cell to compare experimental and simulation results. Biologists are generating a vast amount of data on the molecular events that occur in the cell. Since a ...

On April 7 th, Anthropic announced that it was restricting public access to its most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model, Claude Mythos Preview, because the system could discover and exploit ...

A research team has developed a new system to estimate a person's biological age -- a measure of how well their body has aged, rather than just counting the years since birth. Using just five drops of ...

We all know someone who seems to defy aging-people who look younger than their peers despite being the same age. What's their secret? Scientists at Osaka University (Japan) may have found a way to ...
