You don’t need to find and isolate everybody who gets the disease to break the exponential pattern. Just isolating 75% of them as soon as they become infectious would drastically slow the spread.

A new study reveals a possible protein misfolding mechanism that may resolve a long-standing mystery of why certain proteins ...

All sorts of microorganisms exhibit patterns that are very close to exponential population growth. For example, in the right hand graph of Figure 2 is a population of Paramecium growing in a ...

Proteins are long molecules that must fold into complex three-dimensional structures to perform their cellular functions. This folding process occasionally goes awry, resulting in misfolded proteins ...
