CYTOCON DB: A versatile database of human cell and molecule concentrations for accelerating model development.

In this issue of I CPT: Pharmacometrics and Systems Pharmacology i , Leonov et al.[1] present a powerful tool for quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) practitioners and immune modelers: "CYTOCON DB", a comprehensive and manually curated database of publicly available concentrations of cells, cytokines, chemokines, and other molecules in various human organs in both healthy and diseased states. Finally, CYTOCON DB could both generate new databases, and be linked with existing databases for potentially generating both broad and deep knowledge networks in immunology and MID3.
