Figure 2From: Network, degeneracy and bow tie. Integrating paradigms and architectures to grasp the complexity of the immune systemDegeneracy, pluripotentiality and bow tie. The concept of bow tie integrates the concepts of degeneracy and pluripotentiality: figuratively, a bow tie structure (many-few-many) (1c) appears from the overlapping of degeneracy (many-to-one) (1a) and pluripotentiality (one-to-many) (1b).Back to article page
