Abstract

Biological nanonetworks is a novel interdisciplinary research area including nanotechnology, biotechnology, and ICT. In this paper, we illustrate a simulation tool designed for modeling communications at nanoscales. This tool is fully adaptable to all nano-scale bearers, used to transport information, which may range from electromagnetic waves to calcium ions. In addition, it can be easily adapted to the interested environment. In this paper, we illustrate an example of the simulator functions by modeling a portion of a lymph node, and simulating the information transfer during the humoral immune response by antibody molecules.
