Chemotaxis Modeling of Autoimmune Inflammation

In response to an infection (e.g., from pathogens such as bacteria and viruses), the immune system can deplete macrophages (specialized white blood cells) and produce cytokines that are pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory. This counterproductive autoimmune response is represented mathematically as nonlinear chemotaxis diffusion.

This book is directed to the computer-based modeling of chemotaxis i...
