    2014-Wrona-EtAl-Two-compartment model as a teaching tool for cholesterol homeostasis
    To investigate cholesterol transport in the circulatory system, we have previously developed a two-compartment mathematical model. Here, we show how this model can be used as a teaching tool for cholesterol homeostasis.
