A new study shows how math can reveal hidden cancer cell strategies. By using a math model, researchers found that DNA-damaged cells often skip division and undergo polyploidisation—a survival response missed by observation alone.

Researchers at #CharitéBerlin, @drfz_Berlin and @MDC_Berlin have identified the immune cells that cause severe kidney inflammation in #lupus. The study, published in @nature, could pave the way for future antibody therapies.

Excited to share our analysis of cytokine communication using a new 4D simulation environment. Without spatial inhomogeneities, cytokine signals are basically ineffective! The spatial distribution depends on receptor feedback and tissue architecture. cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S…

The attached cell-based simulation framework for cytokine reaction-diffusion systems uses the finite element solver fenics, and is fully open source and ready to use.

Just did a group meeting of a PhD student in the cloud. It takes courage to say I'm stuck, confused, discouraged. This vulnerability elicited solidarity and support from the group, and a flood of new ideas and hope. It was gratifying for everyone.

The immune system is a uniquely dynamic environment. In a Comment, @mathematista discusses how custom-built mathematical models should complement experimental approaches to make immune kinetics more predictable.

Our paper @ImmunityCP reveals a human baseline setpoint state (ie, "temperature" under which immune responses are initiated) linked to better responses to flu vaccination resembles cell states induced early and uniquely by the AS03 adjuvant. 1/n
Our paper "Integrating population and single-cell variations in vaccine responses identifies a naturally adjuvanted human immune setpoint" @TsangLab is now online @ImmunityCP Link to open access pdf: authors.elsevier.com/c/1j0dm…
