Is the immune network a complex network?
Hallan Souza-e-Silva, Rita Maria Zorzenon dos Santos
Some years ago a cellular automata model was proposed to describe the evolution of the immune repertoire of B cells and antibodies based on Jerne's immune network theory and shape-…
The dynamics of the HIV infection: a time-delay differential equation approach
Flora S. Bacelar, Roberto F. S. Andrade, Rita M. Zorzenon dos Santos
In this work we introduce a differential equation model with time-delay that describes the three-stage dynamics and the two time scales observed in HIV infection. Assuming that the…
On the Aging Dynamics in an Immune Network Model
Mauro Copelli, Rita M. Zorzenon dos Santos, Daniel A. Stariolo
Recently we have used a cellular automata model which describes the dynamics of a multi-connected network to reproduce the refractory behavior and aging effects obtained in immuniz…
Emergence of Hierarchy on a Network of Complementary Agents
M. Copelli, R. M. Zorzenon dos Santos, J. S. Sa Martins
Complementarity is one of the main features underlying the interactions in biological and biochemical systems. Inspired by those systems we propose a model for the dynamical evolut…
Phase-Transitions in a model for the formation of herpes simplex ulcers
Claudia Pio Ferreira, Jose Fernando Fontanari, Rita M. Zorzenon dos Santos
The critical properties of a cellular automaton model describing the spreading of infection of the Herpes Simplex Virus in corneal tissue are investigated through the dynamic Monte…
On the Dynamics of the Evolution of the HIV Infection
Rita Maria Zorzenon dos Santos, Sergio Coutinho
We use a cellular automata model to study the evolution of HIV infection and the onset of AIDS. The model takes into account the global features of the immune response to any patho…
