Killer Cell Dynamics Mathematical and Computational Approaches to Immunology /
This book reviews how mathematics can be used in combination with biological data in order to improve understanding of how the immune system works. This is illustrated largely in the context of viral infections. Mathematical models allow scientists to capture complex biological interactions in a cle...
