Featured blog: Systems biology study identifies acquired cancer resistance beyond mutations
Precision targeting offers hope after a life-changing cancer diagnosis. However, some cancers that initially respond to targeted chemotherapy become treatment-resistant — and this may have nothing to do with the drug itself. This blog describes new research helps explain how therapy-resistant cancers arise — findings with important implications for the future of cancer therapy.
Call for papers: Systems Medicine
BMC Systems Biology is delighted to announce the launch of a thematic series focused on highlighting original research on the emerging field of 'Systems Medicine', which will review and feature applied translational research on biological mechanisms, including the tailoring of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease via a multitude of methods.
Featured article: Image analysis driven single-cell analytics for systems microbiology
Balomenos et al present BaSCA, a novel Bacterial image analysis driven single-cell analytics pipeline, which enables the high throughput analysis, down to the single-cell level, of complex time lapse cell movies with many colonies and potentially thousands of cells in the field of view. The results presented demonstrate its robustness and universality.

Aims and scope
BMC Systems Biology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in experimental and theoretical aspects of the function of biological systems at the molecular, cellular or organismal level, in particular those addressing the engineering of biological systems, network modelling, quantitative analyses, integration of different levels of information and synthetic biology.

Model of the month
November 2018
Proctor (2016) created a model to see the effect ageing and PTH hormone has on the signalling pathways that maintain the bone remodelling process. The authors ran simulations to identify possible treatments to prevent bone loss.
