Reductionism has served cell biologists well in the past decades, but systems biologists are now promising to broaden the picture. The challenge will be to provide not just the lists and quantitation but real mechanistic insights.
在过去几十年里,还原论对细胞生物学家帮助很大,但系统生物学家如今有望拓展研究视野。挑战在于不仅要提供清单和定量分析,还要给出真正的机制性见解。
