A recent study has investigated the prognostic and predictive potential of ARIADNE, a transcriptomic test for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) developed by researchers at the Center for Complexity and Biosystems of the University of Milan and commercialized by the spinoff Complexdata. The study was conducted …

It is known that the metabolic activity of all the microorganisms that make up the human microbiome interacts with host metabolism, contributing to human health in a way that is not yet fully understood. A group of researchers from the Center for Complexity and Biosystems …

Cell Reports Medicine publishes a new study from the University of Milan that highlights the innovative potential of artificial intelligence and new algorithms for breast cancer diagnosis, prognosis and prediction. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death for women, with about 500,000 deaths worldwide …

On November 8 2022, Caterina La Porta will present a talk on “Classification of Triple Negative Breast Cancer by a Boolean network model of the EMT” at the TEMTIA X Meeting in Paris. https://emtmeeting.org/ At the TEMTIA conference, topics range from new insights into developmental …

Estimating the risk that a patient with breast cancer will develop a metastatic tumor is of fundamental importance for deciding the best treatment strategy in the framework of personalized medicine. This particularly true for treat triple negative breast cancer where no specific drugs are available, …

High density electroencephalography (hdEEG) provides an accessible but indirect tool to record brain activity in real time. While the recorded signals encode a large amount of information, it is not straightforward to interpret them. This would be extremely useful for several potential applications such as …

How can bats coexist with viruses, including various types of coronavirus, without suffering from the diseases? Researchers at the Center for Complexity & Biosystems of the University of Milan investigated this interesting issue and found that the success in keeping viruses at bay stem from …

The 2030 Agenda, which invites us to study environmental balances with a systemic approach, underlines the strong links between the health of aquatic ecosystems and our individual and collective well-being. In particular territories, such as Lombardy, it is of crucial importance not only to monitor …

Predicting the metastasis risk in patients with a primary breast cancer tumor is of fundamental importance to decide the best therapeutic strategy in the framework of personalized medicine. Researchers from the Center for Complexity and Biosystems at the University of Milan lead by Caterina La …

This book explores the role of exaptation in diverse areas of life, with examples ranging from biology to economics, social sciences and architecture. The concept of exaptation, introduced in evolutionary biology by Gould and Vrba in 1982, describes the possibility that already existing traits can …
