Systems Biology and the Integration of Mechanistic Explanation and Mathematical Explanation [PDF]
The paper discusses how systems biology is working toward complex accounts that integrate explanation in terms of mechanisms and explanation by mathematical models—which some philosophers have viewed as rival models of explanation.

A generalized non-linear model predicting efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in HER2+ breast cancer
Summary: Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is currently recommended to patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive breast cancer (HER2+ BC) that typically exhibit a poor prognosis.

An inter‐species protein–protein interaction network across vast evolutionary distance
In cellular systems, biophysical interactions between macromolecules underlie a complex web of functional interactions. How biophysical and functional networks are coordinated, whether all biophysical interactions correspond to functional interactions ...

Network-based prediction of protein interactions
Computational protein-protein interaction (PPI) prediction has the potential to complement experimental efforts to map interactomes. Here, the authors show that proteins tend to interact if one is similar to the other’s partners and that PPI prediction ...

Summary: Met is an oncogene aberrantly activated in multiple cancers. Therefore, to better understand Met biology and its role in disease we applied the Mammalian Membrane Two-Hybrid (MaMTH) to generate a targeted interactome map of its interactions with

So what do we really mean when we say that systems biology is holistic? [PDF]
Background: An old debate has undergone a resurgence in systems biology: that of reductionism versus holism. At least 35 articles in the systems biology literature since 2003 have touched on this issue.

Summary: Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are at a significantly higher risk of cancers with unclear mechanism. By searching GWAS catalog database and Medline, susceptible genes for five common ADs, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid ...
