The paper identifies excitability as a unifying design principle in immune circuits, showing its presence in diverse immune subsystems and responses to pathogens and autoimmunity.

The paper identifies five immune response archetypes in mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi and shows tradeoffs between resistance to different pathogens.

This paper models autoimmune disease flares as excitable dynamics, showing how stochastic events trigger relapses and how regulatory cells influence their frequency.
