Discover the fascinating world of systems biology with this exceptional book! The authors discuss in an integrated way the processes occurring in living organisms, allowing you to understand the mechanisms of phenomena and cause-and-effect relationships in biology, and especially in biochemistry. It is a fascinating read for anyone who wants to explore the secrets of life.

• Integrated approach to biological processes
• Clear style of presentation with numerous comparisons and models
• Numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid understanding
• Up-to-date information on cancer and bioengineering
• Excellent introduction to systems biology
• Fascinating reading for students and teachers
• Understanding the mechanisms of biological phenomena

The authors have adopted an original, yet clear style of presentation, using numerous comparisons and models from the macroscopic world and making the reader aware of the unity of the laws of physics, chemistry and biology. The whole is illustrated with numerous, imaginative drawings and diagrams. The current edition includes additional information imposed by the advancement of knowledge in the past few years. This concerns, among other things, cancer - a field that shocks humanity - where, as a result of the explosive development of genetic knowledge, significant progress has been made, as well as bioengineering with the extremely effectively used technique adopted from solutions from the bacterial world, which is the CRISPRCAS technique.

The textbook is a fascinating read for anyone interested in biology, and also provides an excellent introduction to the dynamically developing systems biology in recent years. It will be useful for students of: biotechnology, medicine, bioinformatics, programming, robotics and automation, biocybernetics, biomedical engineering. The book will also be eagerly read by readers for whom the need for changes in the way the vast knowledge of modern biology is conveyed is becoming obvious - teachers and students of upper secondary schools.

The book is divided into five parts: structure and function, energy in biology - need and use, the importance of information in living systems, regulation in biological systems, interaction in organized biological systems. This is a comprehensive study that will satisfy the curiosity of every nature lover. Scientific Publishing House PWN guarantees high quality of content and edition.
