Description for New Challenges for Cancer Systems Biomedicine
Paperback. This book details the state of the art of tumor systems biomedicine. It offers a coherent view of tumor modeling, based on the concept that mathematical modeling is (with medicine and molecular biology) one of the three pillars of molecular medicine. Editor(s): D'Onofrio, Alberto; Cerrai, Paola (University of Pisa, Italy); Gandolfi, Alberto. Series: SEMA SIMAI Springer Series. Num Pages: 412 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJCL; MJCM; PBKJ; PBW; PHVN. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 21. Weight in Grams: 629.
The future of oncology seems to lie in Molecular Medicine (MM). MM is a new science based on three pillars. Two of them are evident in its very name and are well known: medical science and molecular biology. However, there is a general unawareness that MM is firmly based on a third, and equally important, pillar: Systems Biomedicine. Currently, this term denotes multilevel, hierarchical models integrating key factors at the molecular, cellular, tissue, through phenotype levels, analyzed to reveal the global behavior of the biological process under consideration. It becomes increasingly evident that the tools to construct such complex models ... Read more
