Descrizione articolo

Riassunto:

BetaSys uses the example of regulated exocytosis in pancreatic ß-cells, and its relevance to diabetes, to illustrate the major concepts of systems biology, its methods and applications.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

The insulin secreting ß-cell is one of the most specialized cell types with diverse and multi-functional components (genes, gene products, organelles and metabolites) and a multitude of regulatory strategies in response to internal and environmental signals. This book looks at the technological advances that make simultaneous detection of thousands of biological variables possible; at a substantial variety of mathematical models and numerical simulations that aim to explain major aspects of the ß-cell function; and at the challenge to formulate a comprehensive and robust model of the main networks of the underlying biochemical and physical processes for diagnostic and therapeutic use.
