The paper shows that virus-like particle-displayed antigens bypass BCR tolerance by triggering distinct signaling and transcriptional programs compared to soluble antigens.

The paper shows that manifold learning, implemented via inhibitory interneurons with IBCM plasticity, enables olfactory habituation to fluctuating backgrounds better than mean subtraction methods.

This paper develops a dynamical model of the immune system that supports the discontinuity theory by showing how immune responses depend on the rate of antigenic change, with implications for infections and vaccination.
