Thoughts from leaders of systems #immunology how mechanistic models can leverage omics/ML for deeper understanding of how our immune system works #sysbio @cp-cellsystems.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-systems...
cell.com
What unique insights can modeling approaches capture about the immune system?
The immune system, optimized by evolution to maintain health and prevent disease, is remarkably good at what it does. It detects pathogens and monitors physiological stresses with a sensitivity and selectivity that far surpasses that of man-made biosensors. It then mounts potent yet precise responses, enabling the body to maintain homeostasis amid varying internal milieu and external threats.

Do you like trees? Fancy quantifying tree shapes in terms of diversity, balance, average outdegree, etc. so you can compare them with each other or with models? Even if they have very different leaf counts? And accounting for branch lengths and polytomies? We have an easy solution for you. 1/n
