Systems Biology: A User's Guide

In November 2006, Nature Cell Biology and Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology present a joint Focus that aims to inform cell and molecular biologists how they can apply systems biology approaches to their research.

Access the Focus FREE online at www.nature.com/focus/systemsbiologyuserguide from November.

Produced with support from Pfizer, The Mathworks, Merrimack, Novartis and Entelos, and in association with the National Centers for Systems Biology and Molecular Systems Biology.

Collecting and organizing systematic sets of protein data
John G. Albeck et al.
p803 | 10.1038/nrm2042
Technologies are now in place to obtain large amounts of data for systems biology approaches. What are the most suitable technologies for fast, accurate and high-throughput data collection? And following data collection, how should these data be analysed and validated?

Linking data to models: data regression
Khuloud Jaqaman & Gaudenz Danuser
Published online: 27 September 2006
p813 | 10.1038/nrm2030
Regression is a method to estimate parameters in mathematical models of biological systems from experimental data. To ensure the validity of a model for a given data set, pre-regression and post-regression diagnostic tests must accompany the process of model fitting.

Data-driven modelling of signal-transduction networks
Kevin A. Janes & Michael B. Yaffe
p820 | 10.1038/nrm2041
New technologies are permitting larger scale and more quantitative studies of signalling networks. The large data sets that are obtained from these studies can be analysed by data-driven modelling approaches. These models are now emerging as standard tools for systems-level research in signalling networks.

ESSAY
Back to the future: education for systems-level biologists
Ned Wingreen & David Botstein
Published online: 20 September 2006
p829 | 10.1038/nrm2023
Systems biology has produced a challenge to the educational system. In the future, practitioners of biology at the systems level will need combinations of skills that are rarely found in individual scientists today. So, how should we educate students to succeed across scientific disciplines?

Protein tyrosine phosphatases: from genes, to function, to disease
Nicholas K. Tonks
p833 | 10.1038/nrm2039
Protein tyrosine phosphatases can no longer be viewed as passive housekeeping enzymes. It is now becoming apparent that they have important roles in the regulation of signalling responses. So, what are the functions of these enzymes? And how are they regulated?

Auxin in action: signalling, transport and the control of plant growth and development
William D. Teale, Ivan A. Paponov & Klaus Palme
Published online: 20 September 2006
p847 | 10.1038/nrm2020
Auxins are a class of plant hormones that affect various aspects of plant development. Recent studies have identified certain F-box-domain proteins as auxin receptors that control auxin-regulated gene expression through ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. Other modes of auxin perception and signalling are also thought to exist.

OPINION
Do we underestimate the importance of water in cell biology?
Martin Chaplin
Published online: 06 September 2006
p861 | 10.1038/nrm2021
It is surely time for water to take up its rightful position as the most important and active of all biological molecules. Liquid water is highly versatile [mdash] it can control, for example, the folding, structure, activity and interactions of macromolecules.

TIMELINE
The twentieth century struggle to decipher insulin signalling
Philip Cohen
p867 | 10.1038/nrm2043
The discovery of insulin in 1921 was one of the great medical advances of the twentieth century. Since then, key discoveries have led to a molecular understanding of the insulin-signalling pathway and revealed targets for the treatment of type-2 diabetes.
