The actual status of quantitative approaches in Biology: problems and perspectives.

The actual status of quantitative approaches in Biology: problems and perspectives.

Biomedical sciences are traversing a ``reproducibility crisis'': it is estimated that more than 85% of basic research results in cancer research [25] are not replicable, and similar figures hold for other investigation fields. The urgent need of rethinking the quantitative approach to biol...
