Learning to cope with the day-to-day tasks of life is a crucial factor in recovery from a depressive illness. A housewife explains how she has learnt to cope with the ups and downs by planning accordingly.

Recent literature suggests that glia, and in particular astrocytes, should be studied as organised networks which communicate through gap junctions. Astrocytes, however, adhere to most surfaces and are highly mobile cells. In order to study, such organised networks effectively in vitro it is necessary to influence them to pattern to certain substrates whilst being repelled from others and to im...

High-level, mathematically precise descriptions of the global organisation of complex metabolic networks are necessary for understanding the global structure of metabolic networks, the interpretation and integration of large amounts of biologic data (sequences, various -omics) and ultimately for rational design of therapies for disease processes. Metabolic networks are highly organised to execu...

We describe a new phenomenon in quantum cosmology: self-organised localisation. When the fundamental parameters of theory are functions scalar field subject to large fluctuations during inflation, phase transitions can act as dynamical attractors. As result, probabilistically localised around critical value and Universe finds itself at edge transition. illustrate how localisation could account ...

Many scientists are convinced that the Modern Synthesis – the current paradigm in evolutionary biology – needs to be expanded within the framework of an Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES). A major task for the EES is to provide an explanation for the origins and extant features of biological complexity. Here we address this issue, focusing our investigation on genetic network architectures, ...
