Active matter theory explains fire-ant group behaviour
Ants are social insects and the Solenopsis invicta species —known as the fire ant— is no exception. The social interactions of this invasive insect, which comes from South America, are framed within…
Cellular reprogramming can generate neural networks that reproduce unique characteristics of human cells
Studies on diseases that affect the human brain are usually based on animal models which cannot reproduce the complexity of human neuropathies. Therefore, these methodologies often fail when applied in…
