   We do not need to, and indeed cannot, know all of these factors (as needed for discrete event simulation, or agent-based modelling), but will merely examine the net changes between compartments (i.e. a ‘system dynamics’ approach). …

3. Modeling of hepatitis B virus infection spread in primary human hepatocytes.

   Shi Z, Tsuge M, Collier N, Takeuchi Y, Uchida T, Rutter C, Teraoka Y, Uprichard SL, Ishida Y, Tateno C, Ozik J, Dahari H, Chayama K.

   We characterized HBV DNA kinetics in primary human hepatocytes (PHH) over 32 days post-inoculation (pi) and used agent-based modeling (ABM) to gain insights into HBV lifecycle and spread. Parallel PHH cultures were mock-treated or HBV entry inhibitor Myr-preS …

4. Development of a surrogate model for predicting atherosclerotic plaque progression based on agent based modeling data.

   Spahić L, Filipović N.

   Technol Health Care. 2025 Jan 10:9287329241309771. doi: 10.1177/09287329241309771. Online ahead of print.

   Coronary artery disease (CAD), more specifically coronary atherosclerosis (CATS), is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Computational modeling frameworks have been used for simulation of atherosclerotic plaque progression and with the advancement of agent …

5. Modeling adhesion in stochastic and mean-field models of cell migration.

   Noureen SR, Mort RL, Yates CA.

   Phys Rev E. 2025 Jan;111(1-1):014419. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.111.014419.

   While these models can represent certain biological situations well, cellular Potts models can be computationally expensive, and continuum models capture only the macroscopic behavior of a population of cells, ignoring stochasticity and the discrete nature of …

6. Game susceptibility, correlation, and payoff capacity as a measure of cooperative behavior in the thermodynamic limit of some social dilemmas.

   Benjamin C, Tah R.

   Phys Rev E. 2025 Jan;111(1-1):014307. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.111.014307.

   In this paper, we compare three analytical methods, i.e., Nash equilibrium mapping (NEM), Darwinian selection (DS), and aggregate selection (AS), with a numerical agent-based method (ABM) via the game susceptibility, correlation, and payoff capacity as indicators of …

7. A computational framework to study the etiology of grandiose narcissism.

   Löschner DM, Schoemann M, Jauk E, Herchenhahn L, Schwöbel S, Kanske P, Scherbaum S.

   Sci Rep. 2025 Feb 18;15(1):5897. doi: 10.1038/s41598-025-90109-w.

   In the light of emotional and social problems associated with these self-esteem regulation patterns and the increasing prevalence of narcissistic tendencies, causal and formalized models for prevention and intervention are needed. Here, we present a computational model …

8. Estimates of SARS-CoV-2 Infections and Population Immunity After the COVID-19 Pandemic in Austria: Analysis of National Wastewater Data.

   Riedmann U, Chalupka A, Richter L, Sprenger M, Rauch W, Schenk H, Krause R, Willeit P, Oberacher H, Høeg TB, Ioannidis JPA, Pilz S.

   J Infect Dis. 2025 Feb 18:jiaf054. doi: 10.1093/infdis/jiaf054. Online ahead of print.

   METHODS: We estimated the total SARS-CoV-2 infections in Austria after the end of the pandemic (5 May 2023, per World Health Organization) up to May 2024 from wastewater data using a previously published model. These estimates were used in an agent-based m …

9. Increasing child vaccination coverage can reduce influenza cases across age groups: An agent-based modeling study.

   Williams KV, Krauland MG, Nowalk MP, Harrison LH, Williams JV, Roberts MS, Zimmerman RK.

   J Infect. 2025 Feb 12;90(3):106443. doi: 10.1016/j.jinf.2025.106443. Online ahead of print.

   Direct and indirect benefits (decreased influenza cases and hospitalizations) of increased uptake among school-age children may be realized across the age spectrum. We used an agent-based model to determine the extent to which increased vaccination of childre …

10. Developing a Conceptual Model for Collective Patterns and Leisure-Time Physical Activity Inequalities Among Adults.
