(2024)This literature review investigates the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Design Thinking (DT), with a focus on how AI technologies can enhance each of the 3 core stages of DT: Data gathering about user ... -
The role of epigenetics in natural populations and somaclonal variation
(2024)Changes in the epigenome enable a plant to rapidly adapt to its environment without the need for genetic mutations, thereby increasing its chance of survival. The role of epigenetics is even more important in populations ... -
Collaboratively classifying remote sensing imagery for Land Cover maps of Aruba
(2024)Land cover changes are vital in shaping ecosystems, impacting food production, carbon sequestration, and essential services. Human-driven land cover alterations rapidly occur worldwide, leading to significant environmental ... -
Challenging the assumption of exponential decay. A review on the life expectancy of T-cells.
(2024)Mathematical models are a common tool used to describe and understand the kinetics of immune cells. However, these models often make certain assumptions in order to describe a simplified view of reality. In this review we ... -
Unlocking the intrinsic effect of CIN in intestinal organoids
(2024)Most incidences of colorectal cancer (CRC) arise through Chromosomal Instability (CIN), an ongoing process that imbalances the chromosome number. CIN manifests a dual role in cancer, acting as both a tumor promoter and a ... -
