It explores hormone circuits, immune circuits, and aging and age-related diseases, and provides a periodic table of diseases.

Starting from basic laws, the book derives why physiological circuits are built the way they are. The circuits have fragilities that explain specific diseases and offer new strategies to treat them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the end, the reader will be able to use simple and powerful mathematical models to describe physiological circuits. The book explores, in three parts, hormone circuits, immune circuits, and aging and age-related disease. It culminates in a periodic table of diseases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlon writes in a style accessible to a broad range of readers - undergraduates, graduates, or researchers from computational or biological backgrounds. The level of math is friendly, and the math can even be bypassed altogether. For instructors and readers who want to go deeper, the book includes dozens of exercises that have been rigorously tested in the classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 634g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 178 x 254 x 16 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032411859\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uri Alon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44873491448058,"sku":"9781032411859","price":59.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1702056542301_book.jpg?v=1702281472","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/systems-medicine-physiological-circuits-and-the-dynamics-of-disease-9781032411859","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
