Immune networks: getting on to the real thing.
After some ten years of faltering development, the network approach in immunology is finally heading toward steady ground. At a recent international workshop (*), experimentalists and theoreticians discussed some of the latest developments, including an impressive array of novel results and applications to fundamental properties of biological immune networks: connectivity, patterns of dynamic activity, ontogenesis, and tolerance.
