The road to virtual immune cells

Good news!

"The idea of building a ‘digital twin’ of a cell that mimics its behaviour is not new, but the advancement of artificial intelligence and the rapid expansion of biological datasets is helping to make it a reality.
Capturing the activity of immune cells — and their ability to sense, interpret and respond to the environment — in this way could help reveal the intricacies of their responses and help design immune-based medicines.
In translational research, virtual immune cells could help find drug targets, improve the ability to modulate the immune system and support personalized therapies, write a group of pathologists and systems biologists."
