Their 2024 Nature Immunology study reveals how JAK-STAT signaling keeps immune cells "on standby". The #ShannonEntropy equation can help quantify this vigilance.

There is a good connection of this work with channel capacities and Shannon entropies of them. Eventhough is quantum, the formalism in this paper may interest you Daniel iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... ! #channelcapacity #shannonentropy #communicationstheory

We saw something quite striking. Not all stresses are the same. For the same morality level, #ShannonEntropy behaved differently, indicating that some stresses, not others, induced the population variability. 6/13

But rather multimodal distributions, exemplifying what we think are multi-state phenotypes. We used #ShannonEntropy to portray these populations accurately and plotted them against the stress in various insult levels. 5/13
