IBM will allow researchers to use the World Community Grid computer system. This service relies on millions of computers and devices of 730,000 volunteers who have signed up to support scientific research. The volunteers download a dedicated application for personal computers and Android devices, and at any moment when the devices are not using all their processing power - it is automatically directed to performing virtual experiments.

Although their name was given to them due to their function on the tongue, the bitter and sweet taste receptors were recently discovered in various tissues and organs that do not come into contact with food. In at least some of these areas of the body, especially the respiratory tract, these taste receptors play an important role in the immune response. Illustration: pixabay.

The table gathers the "disruption scores" of hundreds of patients with a brain tumor: each row refers to a pathway or biochemical process, and each column - to a sample from a specific patient. Each color symbolizes a number - the value of the "disruption score" of the biochemical pathway, as calculated for the patient. Dark blue indicates normal activity of the biochemical pathway in healthy brain tissue, while dark red indicates a strong deviation from normal behavior. The group of samples of brain cells from healthy people appears as a dark blue vertical bar, labeled TgS7, which appears in the middle of the table. The bar marked TgS15 describes the subgroup of patients with a longer survival prognosis
