A new study reveals how biological branching networks use surface geometry to shape blood vessels, brains, and plants.

We consider a multitype population size dependent branching process in discrete time. A process is considered to be near-supercritical if the mean matrices of offspring distributions approach the mean ...

In a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a research team of the Institute of Complex Systems of the University of Barcelona (UBICS) analysed the time ...

During migration in tissue in vivo or in culture in a three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix (ECM), endothelial cells, fibroblasts and tumour cells exhibit a characteristic complex shape that ...
