A System Dynamics Model to Predict the Human Monocyte Response to Endotoxins

A System Dynamics Model to Predict the Human Monocyte Response to Endotoxins

System dynamics is a powerful tool that allows modeling of complex and highly networked systems such as those found in the human immune system. We have developed a model that reproduces how the exposure of human monocytes to lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) induces an inflammatory state characterized by h...
