Tensor-based insights into systems immunity and infectious disease

Trends Immunol. 2023 May;44(5):329-332. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2023.03.003. Epub 2023 Mar 29.

Abstract

Profiling immune responses across several dimensions, including time, patients, molecular features, and tissue sites, can deepen our understanding of immunity as an integrated system. These studies require new analytical approaches to realize their full potential. We highlight recent applications of tensor methods and discuss several future opportunities.

Keywords: canonical polyadic decomposition; data integration; dimensionality reduction; systems immunology; tensor decomposition.
