Systems biology is a relatively new biological study field that focuses on the systematic study of complex interactions in biological systems, thus using anew perspective (integration instead of reduction) to study them. Particularly from year 2000 onwards, the term is used widely in the biosciences, and in avariety of contexts. Systems biology is the study of the interconnected aspect of molecular, cellular, tissue, whole animal and ecological processes, and comprises mathematical and mechanistic studies of dynamical, mesoscopic, open, spatiotemporally defined, nonlinear, complex systems that are far from thermodynamic equilibrium.Further content is available online within the Encyclopediaof Molecular Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine.Covering everything from Alzheimer's Disease to the Zebrafish Genome, the Encyclopedia of Molecular Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine represents the most detailed and up to date peerreviewed treatment in existence covering the molecular and cellular basis of life. It is thus an authoritative reference source for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, librarians and researchers in industry and government. Available online at www.meyers-emcbmm.com.
