Mysteries of Fruit Fly Sperm Untangled by Mathematical Models

A colorful, cloud-like shape with swirling blue, red, yellow, and green wisps appears on a black background, resembling abstract digital art or a simulation of energy or gas.

Experiments and Mathematical Model Uncover the Mechanisms Behind Wrinkles in Cell Nuclei

Colorful swirls and bands flow into the open top of a stylized camera in this abstract illustration, with dots and lines creating a sense of motion and creativity.

Computational Biology Goes Under the Microscope

A person with dark hair in a bun, wearing a dark sweater and layered necklaces, stands outdoors near water, looking seriously at the camera.
