Historically, treatments for autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, myasthenia gravis, and primary biliary cholangitis have relied upon immune suppression. That approach can be effective, but ...

In a non-demo artificial immune system, the length of the incoming bit patterns can be very large, and the length of simulated antigens can be large too. Therefore, it's important to use an efficient ...
