Chemotactic migration of T cells towards dendritic cells promotes the detection of rare antigens. by Renske M A Vroomans, Athanasius F M Marée, Rob J de Boer, Joost B Beltman

“…We re-addressed the question whether T cell chemoattraction towards DCs is expected to promote or hamper the detection of rare antigens using the Cellular Potts Model, a formalism that allows for dynamic, flexible cellular shapes and cell migration. Our simulations show that chemoattraction of T cells enhances the DC scanning efficiency, leading to an increased probability that rare antigen-specific T cells find DCs carrying cognate antigen. …”

The balance between integration and segregation drives network dynamics maximizing multistability and metastability by Javier Palma-Espinosa, Sebastián Orellana-Villota, Carlos Coronel-Oliveros, Jean Paul Maidana, Patricio Orio

“…We analyzed a spectrum of network models, from highly segregated to highly integrated, using structural metrics like modularity, efficiency, and small-worldness. By simulating neural activity with a neural mass model, and analyzing Functional Connectivity Dynamics (FCD), we found that segregated networks sustain dynamic synchronization patterns, while small-world networks, which balance local clustering and global efficiency, exhibit the richest dynamical behavior. …”

Revealing the spatio-temporal coupling coordination characteristics and influencing factors of carbon emissions from urban use and ecosystem service values in China at the municipa... by Shuang Zhao, Zhengyong Yu, Wei Liu

“…The total ESV has shown a downward trend characterized by an inverted “N” shape. (2) The coupling coordination effect between land-use carbon emissions and ESV in China generally shows a mirrored “L” growth shape. (3) There is a significant spatial negative correlation between land-use carbon emissions and ESV, primarily manifested as “high-high,” “high-low,” and “low-low” clustering characteristics. (4) Three socio-economic factors—local fiscal general budget expenditure, energy utilization efficiency, and total population—positively influence the coupling coordination of land-use carbon emissions and ESV. …”
