Systems Biology

Systems biology is a branch of science that looks at how all the parts of a living thing work together to make it do what it does. Scientists look at things like the way different cells in the body talk to each other and how different organs help to keep us healthy. Systems biology aims to understand the big picture of how living things work, so it looks at a lot of little parts and how they work together to make the whole system work.
