User:Unauthorised Immunophysicist/Books/The medley lexikon of systems biology

The motley lexicon of hypothetical, theoretical & systems biology edit

This whole lexikon is just a sum of some of the most interesting concepts linked to systems theory, immunology and systems biology. It is affected by our forcedly limited perspective, and it remains up to the reader, to his/her thinking, opinions, views, hypotheses and speculations to make that the resulting whole is different (nor more neither less) than the sum of the lexicon parts. To our intention, this poor lexicon wants to be like brush strokes and vivid colors in an impressionistic painting, emphasized overall effects rather than details. edit
