We introduce a novel functional model for tumor disease and sepsis within the framework of complex networks [1,2]. Both diseases are treated in a unified way centered on their effect on the innate immune system. We propose an adaptively coupled two-layer network model of phase oscillators based upon the interaction of parenchymal cells (organ tissue) and immune cells, respectively, and the co-evolutionary dynamics of parenchymal, immune cells, and cytokines. The interaction and information exchange via cytokines between the cells of the parenchyma and the innate immune system is modeled by adaptive coupling weights. The emergent complex collective dynamics is represented with a few fundamental control parameters. Concepts and methods of nonlinear dynamical systems and networks theory, such as partial synchronization and clustering, as well as numerical and statistical methods are applied to describe physiological and pathological states.
