Information Theory Used To Study Resistance to Cancer Treatments
In cancer treatment, after an effective targeted treatment phase that reduces tumor size, an adaptation to the used molecule occurs that allows the tumor cells to proliferate again. Researchers have used information theory to objectify the molecular regulations at play in the adaptive response and their modulation by a therapeutic combination.

"Background Noise" in the Brain Keeps Nerve Connections Young
Researchers have found that a form of neuron-to-neuron communication that has long been dismissed is required to keep nerve junctions intact as animals age. This finding suggests that defects in this type of neural communication could contribute to neurodegenerative disorders and other brain conditions.
