-Matlab files to reproduce the results of the manuscript **Mechanisms of a sustained anti-inflammatory drug response in alveolar macrophages unraveled with mathematical modeling** by Nyman et al.
-
-The IQM toolbox is used. 
-
-First, you need to install the toolbox from https://iqmtools.intiquan.com/
-
-Second, run the file `initIQM.m`
-
-To reproduce the results in the manuscript, run `plot_many_params.m` for each hypothesis
-
-The included files:
-
-`Macrophage_simple.txt` model text file used for hypothesis testing in the format of the IQM toolbox
-
-`Macrophage_treatment.txt` model text file for the model used to simulate treatment scenarios in in the format of the IQM toolbox
-
-`allGoodValuesX.dat` contains acceptable parameter values
-
-`cost_simple.m` computes the cost and need a set of parameter values as input
-
-`Optimization_simple.m` main script to use in the optimization of parameters
-
-`LoadData.m` computes mean values and standard error of the means from the raw data with only LPS stimulation and load to workspace
-
-`LoadDrugData.m` computes mean values and standard error of the means from the raw data with addition of Dexamathasone and load to workspace
-
-`plot_many_params.m` simulate the model and plot for all loaded acceptable parameter values
-
-`plot_treatment.m` simulate the treatment model and plot for for all loaded acceptable parameter values
