The Caenorhabditis elegans genome possesses homologs of about two-thirds of all human
disease genes. Based on its physiological aging characteristics and superiority, the use of …

Recent studies on the controllability of complex systems offer a powerful mathematical
framework to systematically explore the structure–function relationship in biological, social …

Networks have been widely used to model the structure of various biological systems.
Currently, a series of approaches have been developed to construct reliable biological …

Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) lead to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(ALS), a neurodegenerative disease that disproportionately affects glutamatergic and …

Connectomics has demonstrated that synaptic networks and their topologies are precise
and directly correlate with physiology and behavior. The next extension of connectomics is …

Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a congenital syndrome characterized by growth and mental
