As a result of rapidly accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, multiple national governments and multinational bodies have launched efforts to address safety, security and ethics issues related to AI models. One high priority among th...

Since the turn of the millennium, computational modelling of biological systems has evolved remarkably and sees matured use spanning basic and clinical research. While the topic of the peri-millennial debate about the virtues and limitations of 'redu...
Occupancy models estimate a species' occupancy probability while accounting for imperfect detection, but often overlook the issue of false-positive detections. This problem of false positives has gained attention recently with the rapid advancement o...

Two recent papers offer contrasting perspectives on integrating Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML): one views QSP as the primary driver using AI/ML to enhance computational tasks, while the ot...
Pharmacokinetic data are not generally available for evaluating the toxicological potential of food chemicals. A simplified physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model has been established to evaluate internal exposures to chemicals in rats or...
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) exhibit a bending-elastic instability, or kink, before becoming airborne, a feature previously hypothesized but not substantiated to enhance jumping performance. Here, we provide the evidence that this kink is crucia...
Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) methods have emerged as powerful tools to streamline non-clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) studies, with extensive evidence demonstrating their potential to predict key in vivo PK parameters such as cle...
Mammal-inspired quadruped robots excel in traversing diverse terrestrial terrains but often lack aquatic mobility, limiting their effectiveness in amphibious environments. To address this challenge, an amphibious robotic dog (ARD) was developed, inte...
Seahorses possess a unique tail muscle architecture that enables efficient grasping and anchoring onto objects. This prehensile ability is crucial for their survival, as it allows them to resist currents, cling to mates during reproduction and remain...
