A revolution in understanding biological systems and fighting disease
This groundbreaking book builds on Uri Alon's famous Introduction to Systems Biology.Introduction to Systems Biology showed that complex networks WITHIN cells were:1. Made of simple repeating "motifs"2. Engineered for remarkable robustness3. Modular, allowing for very fast evolutionary selection and complexity growthIn Systems Medicine, Uri Alon expands this "systems engineering" approach OUTSIDE the cell to tackle tissues, organs and whole body (hormonal & immune) circuits.Systems Medicine demonstrates a new and organized way of understanding disease and medical intervention, building to a "Periodic Table of Diseases", echoing the periodic patterns observed by Mendeleev.Systems Medicine:1. Principles of biology: 3 Laws2. Why physiology is built this way3. How disease happens4. Strategies to treat disease (perturb system back into health/homeostasis)5. Periodic Table of Diseases
