Examples and applications of in silico modeling for some important categories of diseases (such as for cancers, infectious diseases, and neuronal diseases) are also given. What You Can Expect to Know Recent advances in bioinformatics and systems biology have enabled modeling and simulation of sub-...
This definition of the initial phase space of the beam has essentially no impact on the simulated field shape at the irradiation position. The field shape is almost entirely (> 99%) determined by the multiple scattering in the 1.16 mm Pb scatter foil, mounted 100 mm downstream from the ...
Fundamental problems faced by the protocells and their modern descendants include how to go from one phenotypic state to another; escape from a basin of attraction in the space of phenotypes; reconcile conflicting growth and survival strategies (and ther
By definition, these harbour at least two RNA polymerases, each transcribing a different template. The β-globin active chromatin hub can be classified as a transcription factory, as it contains at least two polymerases: one transcribing the enhancer and another transcribing a protein-coding gene. ...
Phagocytosis is a pivotal immunological process, and its discovery by Elia Metchnikoff in 1882 was a step toward the establishment of the innate immune system as a separate branch of immunology. Elia Metchnikoff received the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine for this discovery in 1908. Since ...
Nowhere is a definition of ‘molecular complementarity’ given in the text: there are many types of non-covalent interactions that hold things together in biological systems. A strategy of grouping all of them under the same term does not seem very helpful. ...
