Metabolic rate (based on oxygen consumption) seems to scale according to a 3/4 power with mass and hence is sublinear, but it turns out that it is indistinguishable statistically from scaling ...

One of the biggest obstacles in cancer treatment is drug resistance in cancer cells. Conventional efforts have focused on ...

“Metabolic scaling is a many-splendored thing,” he says. Suarez’ concern is valid, agrees Kaspari. However, he says, the master equation’s accurate predictions about a huge range of ...

Called genome-scale metabolic models, or GEMs, these virtual labs significantly reduce the time and cost required to figure out what researchers need to do to get what they’re looking for.

When it comes to extinction, body size matters Date: February 13, 2018 Source: Santa Fe Institute Summary: Models for extinction risk are necessarily simple.

When it comes to metabolic age, the scale doesn’t tell the full story. Your body composition—specifically the ratio of muscle to fat—plays a critical role in determining how efficiently your ...
