Whither systems biology
Cell biologists are interested in how complexity arises from the interaction of different molecules. However, cells are many orders of magnitude larger than the protein-binding interfaces. To bridge these vast difference in scales, biologists construct hierarchies of organization of cellular structures. I describe how systems biology provides an approach to bridge these different scales.
متن کاملDevelopmental Biology: Mathematical Modelling of Development
Understanding how structures (e.g. hair, teeth, feathers, limbs and pigmentation patterns) arise from the initially unstructured fertilised egg is one of the key challenges in developmental biology. Mathematical models enable us to investigate how certain biochemical and/or biophysical processes interact to produce pattern and form. They provide a unifying theme for spatio-temporal patterning a...
متن کاملWhither complexity in myocardial development?
For anyone who has ever been on the sidelines during a discussion of congenital heart defects or had a few minutes to browse through Bharati and Lev’s 2-volume tome on heart malformations,1 the complexity of cardiovascular development that underlies this pathology is painfully obvious. Our understanding of heart development in particular has lagged behind that of other more tidily developing or...
متن کاملDevelopmental Biology
Developmental Biology's excellent reputation in Freiburg goes back to the days of the Hans Spemann who received the Nobel prize for his groundbreaking discovery of an "organizer center" in early amphibian embryos that controls the behavior and fate of surrounding cells. Today the University of Freiburg is one of the few universities in Germany that offers a full curriculum in Developmental Biol...
متن کاملDevelopmental Biology
At the core of biology is the study of development. How do organisms from all modes of life grow from one single cell to a complete and functional body? How do we know to establish “right” from “left,” or know to form a certain number of fingers and toes? Why can some organisms regenerate organs, while others must do without if they are lost? What processes occur as a tadpole becomes a frog? As...
