A new model for the emergence of blood capillary networks [PDF]
We propose a new model for the emergence of blood capillary networks. We assimilate the tissue and extra cellular matrix as a porous medium, using Darcy's law for describing both blood and intersticial fluid flows. Oxygen obeys a convection-diffusion-reaction equation describing advection by the blood, diffusion and consumption by the tissue.

Affinity Discrimination in B cells in Response to Membrane Antigen Requires Kinetic Proofreading [PDF]
B cells signaling in response to antigen is proportional to antigen affinity, a process known as affinity discrimination. Recent research suggests that B cells can acquire antigen in membrane-bound form on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs), with signaling being initiated within a few seconds of B cell/APC contact.

Control-Oriented Models Inform Synthetic Biology Strategies in CAR T Cell Immunotherapy [PDF]
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is revolutionizing the treatment of blood cancers. Mathematical models that can predict the effectiveness of immunotherapies such as CAR T are of increasing interest due to their ability to reduce the number of experiments performed and to guide the theoretical development of new therapeutic strategies ...
