A mathematical framework for understanding how lymph node architecture scales with host body size to produce an efficient immune response
The immune system can detect and respond against pathogens in time that does not vary with the size of the host animal. We suggest that this is due to the architecture of lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are anatomical structures that facilitate the otherwise serendipitous encounter of immune system cells w...
