A sharp threshold for a modified bootstrap percolation with recovery [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Physics, Volume 157, Issue 3 (2014), pp
531-570, 2015 Bootstrap percolation is a type of cellular automaton on graphs, introduced as a simple model of the dynamics of ferromagnetism. Vertices in a graph can be in one of two states: `healthy' or `infected' and from an initial configuration of states, healthy vertices become infected by local rules.

Rare Infectious Diseases: Detection and Clinical Implications
iLABMED, EarlyView.Rare infectious diseases are infections that are uncommon, have a low incidence, and are caused by newly emerging pathogens, cross‐species or ectopic infections, or host immunodeficiencies. The detection and diagnosis of rare infections is one of the main reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

PDE model for multi-patch epidemic models with migration and infection-age dependent infectivity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We study a stochastic epidemic model with multiple patches (locations), where individuals in each patch are categorized into three compartments, Susceptible, Infected and Recovered/Removed, and may migrate from one patch to another in any of the compartments.

Illuminating Immunity: A Systematic Review of Immune Cell Autofluorescence
Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Immunophenotyping provides valuable prognostic and diagnostic information, but is technically complex and expensive. The assessment of autofluorescence is label‐free and provides complex information on cell identity. However, research on its application to immunophenotyping has been heterogenous.
