BOSTON, Mass. – September 21, 2009 – Plectix BioSystems, Inc. has recently published new content relating to immunology in Cellucidate, its web-based platform for biological modeling. Using Cellucidate’s flexible, intuitive and collaborative cBook format, the JAK-STAT and NF-kB signaling pathways are presented in a manner that provides interactive views of the architecture, mechanisms of action and dynamic behavior of these two pathways.

The JAK-STAT Pathway cBook includes models that illuminate the intricacies of the signaling mechanism giving insight into the regulation of the pathway crucial to normal cytokine function. The NF-kB Signaling cBook contains the canonical pathway and highlights the role of NF-kB in the immune system.

To take a look at these new cBooks, registered users of Cellucidate should visit www.cellucidate.com/immunology. New users will need to register, which can be done at the same link. Cellucidate also allows users to copy cBooks and easily add or modify agents, rules and live simulations to explore the different characteristics of the signaling mechanisms and evolve the models to fit their specific research interests.
