Mathematical and Computational Modelling of the Lymphatic System: A Review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The lymphatic system (LS) is a circulatory system composed of lymph vessels, which are similar to blood vessels.It gets rid of fluid (lymph) that has seeped into the tissues from the blood vessels and sends it back to the circulation through the lymph nodes.The LS's primary purposes are regulating fluid balance of the body and responding to bacteria, cancer cells, and cell products that may otherwise result in illness or diseases.The purpose of this paper is to present a summary of the directions in mathematical and computational modelling of the lymphatic system.A content analysis approach was used to identify relevant journal articles, and the major categories for organising the publications were Theoretical, Mathematical, Computational and Experimental.This paper synthesizes the findings and updates the field with the latest comprehensive reviews, including discussions on recent prototypes not covered in prior reviews.It offers a novel analysis framework that categorizes existing research into more refined sub-topics, facilitating easier navigation and understanding of the field's complexities, and it highlights emerging trends and gaps in the literature, directing future research towards underexplored areas within LS modelling.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
