Kinetics of Cell-to-Cell Spread of Viruses.

Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2011

Recent experiments indicate that many viruses can move between cells directly via the cell-cell contacts without diffusing through the extracellular environment. We present the first generic kinetic model describing intracellular viral kinetics in combination with this mode of spread of virions. Our Monte Carlo simulations show the specifics of the propagation of the infection front in this case.
