Sleep is commonly studied through neurochemical, evolutionary, and behavioral frameworks, typically emphasizing circadian rhythms and energy conservation. However, these approaches do not fully explain a deeper biophysical question: why…
Automated information extraction with natural language processing (NLP) tools is required to gain systematic insights from the large number of COVID-19 publications, reports and social media posts, which far exceed human processing…
The origin of organelles (mitochondrion, chloroplast and nucleus) remains enigmatic. The endosymbiotic hypothesis that chloroplasts, mitochondria and nuclei descend from the endosymbiotic cyanobacterium, bacterium and archaebacterium…
We present a comprehensive investigation into plant bioelectric responses to human presence and emotional states, building on five years of systematic research. Using custom-built plant sensors and machine learning classification, we…
This study evaluated the impact of Zinc (Zn) supplementation on the growth, yield, and seed quality of chickpea (Pisum sativum L.) under the semi-arid conditions of Kerman, Iran, across two growing seasons (2021-2022). A randomized complete…
Interspecific communication plays a critical role in mediating human-animal interactions, particularly in contexts involving access to anthropogenic resources. This study investigates the influence of human gazing on the begging strategies…
The sugar concentration of floral nectar is a key metric for describing nectar composition and a major factor influencing pollinator visitation to flowers. Across pollination biology research there are multiple approaches in use for…
Cerebral aneurysms are pathological dilations of intracranial arteries that can rupture with devastating consequences, including subarachnoid hemorrhage, stroke, and death. Accumulating evidence indicates that local hemodynamic forces play…
The environment of the Shatt Al-Basra Canal suffers from many pollutants like is a sewage channel for all areas of Basra Governorate, in addition, the riverbanks are a dumping ground for butchery waste, dirt, construction waste, and spoiled…
All living organisms use the same genetic languages in their molecular biology machinery. They can be understood as the optimal solutions to the replication tasks involving DNA and proteins. These solutions perfectly fit the pattern…
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and multimodal data collection are revolutionizing dermatology. Generative AI and machine learning approaches offer opportunities to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory skin…
The volume of biological data being generated by the scientific community is growing exponentially, reflecting technological advances and research activities. The National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Sequence Read Archive (SRA), which is…
In cell biology, statistical analysis means testing the hypothesis that there was no effect. This weak form of hypothesis testing neglects effect size, is universally misinterpreted, and is disastrously prone to error when combined with…
Free-ranging dogs constitute approximately 80% of the global dog population. These dogs are freely breeding and live without direct human supervision, making them an ideal model system for studying dog-human relationships. Living in close…
Biomarkers play a central role in medicine's gradual progress towards proactive, personalized precision diagnostics and interventions. However, finding biomarkers that provide very early indicators of a change in health status, for example…
Infectious diseases remain a critical global health challenge, and the integration of standardized ontologies plays a vital role in managing related data. The Infectious Disease Ontology (IDO) and its extensions, such as the Coronavirus…
The vast majority of scientific contributions in the field of computational systems biology are based on mathematical models. These models can be broadly classified as either dynamic (kinetic) models or steady-state (constraint-based)…
Methods to detect the emergence of infectious diseases, and approach to the "critical transition" RE = 1, have to potential to avert substantial disease burden by facilitating preemptive actions like vaccination campaigns. Early warning…
Crosslinking Mass Spectrometry (MS) can uncover protein-protein interactions and provide structural information on proteins in their native cellular environments. Despite its promise, the field remains hampered by inconsistent data formats,…
Diabetes mellitus is a global health crisis characterized by poor blood sugar regulation, impacting millions of people worldwide and leading to severe complications and mortality. Although Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) has a lower number…
