Integrative biology and systems biology
Demarcations of scientific fields have always followed either a conceptual breakthrough or have been a result of profoundly enabling technologies. Quantum theory and quantum mechanics revolutionized physics and engineering, but highenergy physics is a discipline fundamentally enabled by the linear accelerator. Similarly, the discovery of the structure of DNA gave birth to molecular biology; str...
متن کاملFatigue mechanisms determining exercise performance: integrative physiology is systems biology.
FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, applied physiologists have investigated the complex nature of fatigue and its implications for exercise performance. Long before the term “systems biology” entered the biomedical lexicon, physiologists appreciated the need to understand fatigue at various levels of integration and across multiple organ systems, a point eloquently highlighted in a recent editorial (13). ...
متن کاملLetter to the editor: "Systems biology versus reductionism in cell physiology".
TO THE EDITOR: The following is a response to the editorial comment of Prihandoko and Tobin (15) about our recent paper in American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology (2), which addresses a key question in modeling of signaling networks: How to assign the protein kinases (from the entire 521-member kinome list) that are responsible for each measurable phosphorylation event in a given cell ty...
متن کاملReply to "Letter to the editor: 'Systems biology versus reductionism in cell physiology'".
REPLY: How to employ systems biology to describe complex pathway interactions and ultimately cellular responses will no doubt occupy biologists for many decades to come. Knepper and colleagues (2) have an important point when they say that our Editorial Focus (3) regarding their recent article in AJPCell (1) overlooked the statistical approach, Bayesian statistics, they used to narrow down (fro...
