It is a key introductory text for graduate students and researchers in physics, biology and biochemistry, presenting ideas and techniques outside the reader's own area of specialization.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Network science has experienced a spectacular explosion in the past decade, influencing a wide range of fields, from computer science to sociology. Yet, nowhere is the impact of the new theoretical framework as promising as it is in cell biology - many of the difficult open questions cannot be understood without a network based approach. Networks in Cell Biology offers an excellent introduction to this frontier, at the same time capturing the current state of research. With contributions from the best in the field, it is a valuable addition to the shelf of anyone interested in this exciting area.' Albert-László Barabási, Northeastern University and Harvard Medical School

'This book describes the state of the art in understanding cellular networks through contributions by leaders in modern cell biology and network theory. It is clearly organized and exhibits an excellent balance between empirical studies and theory. The biological underpinnings are explained clearly and comprehensively, and the appendices give a great primer to the key mathematical concepts necessary for network analysis and modeling. This book will be of great use as a course textbook or for self-study.' Reka Albert, Pennsylvania State University
