Complex Systems is a journal devoted to the science, mathematics and engineering of systems with simple components but complex overall behavior. It is concerned with identifying and characterizing common design elements that are observed across diverse natural, technological and social complex systems.
Over the years high throughput screening has evolved from monolithic static systems to modular more dynamic platforms. At NCATS the approach taken has been to optimize our existing lega...
Growing living human cells in vitro for basic research, drug discovery and reparative/regenerative medicine is challenged by the difficulty in developing methods for reproducibly and cost eff...
Studying the molecular machinery of cells from atomic detail to the cellular context and beyond is a great challenge for cell biology. It is hugely important to zoom into the atom-by-atom arr...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate virtually all known physiological processes and are a premier class of drug targets. However, a detailed mechanistic understanding of their...
Short-read sequencing has found wide-spread use in metagenomics but the short read lengths and bias with regard to sequence composition have translated to limitations of the study of complex...
Complex disease phenotypes - obesity, type II diabetes, and cancer challenge simple models in both evolution and biology. Examination of molecular networks and their dynamic behavior o...
