There are many definitions striving to capture the hidden meaning of “Systems Biology.”
Indeed, despite many efforts, the concept of Systems Biology remains quite uncertain. As
already highlighted [1], currently two primary streams can be recognized within Systems
Biology: (1) pragmatic Systems Biology, which emphasizes the use of large-scale molecular
interactions (“omic” approach), aimed at building huge signaling networks by applying
mathematical modeling, and thus showing how cells make decisions based on the “information”
flowing through their networks. (2) Theoretic Systems Biology which posits that the
theoretical (and consequently the methodological) basis of biological study should be
deeply modified [2].
