Structure versus function: a topological perspective on immune networks

<28> The paper introduced a novel approach to studying the relationship between tolerance in a biological system and topology. Applying a rigorous analysis using metrics from complex network theories, it shows the key role structure plays in influencing function; a finding later backed up by scientists from other disciplines, e.g. Physics. The paper represents the culmination of four of Hart’s previous papers relating topology to function that collectively have over 80 citations in Google Scholar.)
