   Int J Parasitol. 2026 Apr 15:104853. doi: 10.1016/j.ijpara.2026.104853. Online ahead of print.

   Understanding pig infection dynamics is essential for control, yet age-dependent susceptibility, acquired immunity, and spatially heterogeneous exposure are rarely represented in transmission models. We integrated experimental infection data across pig age groups into a lo …

3. An agent-based exploration of the influence of needs on health protection motivation and intentions.

   Mertes P, Kurchyna V, Bae YE, Berndt JO, Timm I.

   Front Psychol. 2026 Mar 24;17:1581156. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1581156. eCollection 2026.

   In this study, we demonstrate how values, social norms and individual needs can be combined within the theoretical framework of the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to study the intention-behavior gap regarding smoking in social settings. By extending upon a previous model …

4. Likelihood-Free Parameter Inference for Spatiotemporal Stochastic Biological Models using Neural Posterior Estimation.

   Kimpson T, Flegg J, Simpson MJ.

   J Theor Biol. 2026 Apr 14:112475. doi: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2026.112475. Online ahead of print.

   Cell migration is a key biological process underlying wound healing, tissue development, and cancer metastasis, yet calibrating mathematical models of migration to experimental data remains a major challenge. Scratch and barrier assays are widely used to study collective c …

5. Heterogeneous learning strategies interact with social network structure and problem complexity to benefit collective search.

   Pykälä M, Dillion D, Galesic M.

   Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2026 Apr 16;381(1948):20240450. doi: 10.1098/rstb.2024.0450.

   Interdisciplinary research shows that collective outcomes depend on learning strategies, group structure and problem complexity, yet it remains unclear how these factors together influence the success of collective search and problem-solving. We develop an evolutionary agent …

6. Social structure shapes consensus decision-making norms in small-scale societies.

   Vadavalli BD, Garfield ZH, Glowacki L.

   Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci. 2026 Apr 16;381(1948):20240449. doi: 10.1098/rstb.2024.0449.

   Yet the pathways by which consensus emerges, especially under constraints imposed by social organization, remain poorly understood. We use an agent-based model to explore how marriage structure, social group nesting and decision-making norms can shape a group …

7. A systematic review of spatial epidemiological modeling approaches applied during the COVID-19 pandemic.

   Oshinubi K, Chen Y, Doerry E, Gel ES, Hepp C, Lant T, Mehrotra S, Sabo S, Mihaljevic J.

   BMC Public Health. 2026 Apr 15. doi: 10.1186/s12889-026-27321-4. Online ahead of print.

8. The health and economic repercussions of declining MMR coverage in the United States.

   Wells CR, Pandey A, Ye Y, Bawden C, Giglio R, Wong C, Wang V, Cipriano C, Ayaz L, Röst G, Moghadas SM, Fitzpatrick MC, Singer BH, Galvani AP.

   Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2026 Apr 28;123(17):e2605971123. doi: 10.1073/pnas.2605971123. Epub 2026 Apr 14.

   Using county-level Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage data and spatial incidence models, we quantified the economic burden of measles in 2025 and projected the impact of continued declines in vaccine uptake. …The cost per case varied widely across counties and …

9. Exploring Self-Organization of Development in the Zebrafish Posterior Lateral Line Primordium with Computer Models.

   Chitnis A.

   Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol. 2026 Apr 15:a041797. doi: 10.1101/cshperspect.a041797. Online ahead of print.

   This review will summarize how we have used agent-based models and cellular Potts models to integrate what has been learned from experiments and investigate how signaling and mechanical interactions determine emergent patterns, fate, morphogenesis, and …

10. A hybrid discrete-continuum modelling approach for the interactions of the immune system with oncolytic viral infections.

    Morselli D, Delitala ME, Jenner AL, Frascoli F.

    J Theor Biol. 2026 Apr 11:112462. doi: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2026.112462. Online ahead of print.

    In our previous work, we developed a stochastic agent-based model elucidating the spatial dynamics of infected and uninfected cells within solid tumours. …Simulations show a good agreement between agent-based approaches and numerical results f …
