Introduction
https://t.me/medicina_free
, I’ U A,   from the Weizmann Institute in Israel. In my PhD in
H
physics I looked for patterns in turbulent mixing; what I loved about physics were the
moments of seeing, in complex systems, suddenly an angle where things looked simple.
Toward the end of my PhD, I looked for subjects where the physics way of thinking might help to nd new laws of nature. I didn’t know much about biology – the only thing I knew about proteins was what I read on the back of a cereal box. en a friend gave me a textbook on cell biology. Here was matter that was alive! I fell in love with biology and resolved to see if there are laws to be found.
I wasn’t alone. Luckily, Stanislas Leibler took me on as a postdoc, where I met other physicists who shared the vision of biological principles, Naama Barkai and Michael Elowitz. I was encouraged by biologists like Arnold Levine, Yosef Yarden, and Benny Geiger. Before long, I had my own group back in Israel.
In the rst decade, we focused on understanding the cell, with its networks of interact­ing proteins. At the time, around 2000, there was massive information on which protein interacts with whom, but it was hard to make sense of this information: the networks of interactions looked hopelessly complex. We discovered that these networks are sim­pler than they appear. ey are made of a handful of recurring basic circuits which we named network motifs. ese motifs show up again and again in dierent systems and in all organisms, and each has its own computational function. e basic circuits inside the cell are described in my book An Introduction to Systems Biology.
en, 10 years ago, I saw a poster in the elevator in my building that changed everything. e poster announced a talk by Yuval Dor, saying that glucose makes the cells that control it, called beta cells, both grow and die. is is a paradox – why does glucose do two oppo­site things to the same cells? It reminded me of a paradox I had studied in bacteria, where enzymes do a reaction and also its reverse. I felt I could do something in an exciting eld – human hormone circuits.
is was an opening to a new phase in my research career. I fell in love again with human medicine and physiology, and how physics-style thinking can help make sense of our bodies in health and illness.

I’m excited to start this book with you, on systems medicine.
My wish is that some of you will feel the same way – that you can do something in this eld – and join us.
Our topic is physiological circuits that describe how cells and organs communicate with each other. Rather than circuits inside a cell, we will discuss circuits of communication between cells. is level of description is relevant to some of the most common and deadly diseases that plague humanity.
It’s good to think about the goal of the book. e goal is to start from basic principles
or laws and derive why physiology is built the way it is, why specic diseases happen, and which new strategies might treat them.
By the end, you will be able to use simple and powerful mathematical models to describe physiological circuits. e models are powerful because they turn details into useful under­standing and new ways to think about medicine. We will understand the fundamental causes of some of the most mysterious diseases: diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and age­related diseases such as lung brosis and cancer.
Our trajectory begins with basic principles. From these, we will derive the circuits and their fragility to disease. We will explore, in three parts, hormone circuits, immune circuits, and aging and age-related disease. Our story culminates in a periodic table of diseases.
ABOUT MATH AND BIOLOGICAL TERMS
I write this book with a heterogeneous readership in mind. Your background might be biology, engineering, physics, math, computer science, medicine, or other subjects, as an undergraduate, graduate, or researcher.
For some of you the following equation is familiar, whereas others need brushing up:
dx
We will use this equation to describe the removal of cells, whose number is x. e rate of removal is
α
; you can think about this as the probability per unit time that a cell dies. Since
cells are only removed in this equation, and not added, their number declines. In fact, x(t) declines exponentially with time, t, starting from their initial number x(0), as given by the solution
You can check this solution by taking the derivative , and since a derivative of an expo-
nential e
−αt
is αe
−αt
, you get our equation back, =−
at’s the level of the math in the book, ordinary dierential equations that describe changes over time. You can skip the equations and still enjoy the book or go into them and learn ways of thinking about modeling.

Similarly, for some readers, biological terms like beta cells and hormones are familiar; for others, they are new. I’ll assume no prior knowledge and use minimal jargon – biolo­gists and physicians will see much fewer gene names than they are used to. I’ll explain terms when needed. A hormone is a molecule secreted by a set of cells into the blood, where it reaches and aects cells in distant parts of the body; beta cells are the cells that secrete the hormone insulin.
I’d also like to say what this book is not. It is not a book on medical bioinformatics, the gathering and statistical interpretation of biomedical data. is eld, sometimes also called systems medicine, is described in books listed at the end of this chapter. We will not discuss applications of machine learning or articial intelligence to medicine. We will, however, use large medical datasets in this book to test our mechanistic models. is book is also not exhaustive, and I provide further reading below. e purpose of the book is to provide a way of thinking, and the examples are chosen to clearly demonstrate principles.
OUR FIRST FEEDBACK LOOP
is book is also written to be fun. So let’s jump right in! Here is our rst feedback loop (Figure 0.1). A person can be in a relaxed state of mind. e relaxed state is good for learn­ing and memory. In the relaxed state, our body behaves in specic ways. For example, we take slow deep breaths.
e wonderful thing is that we can decide to take a deep breath, and this increases the chances that we enter the relaxed state. Because the relaxed state is good for learning, we will practice taking nice deep sighs of relief in this book from time to time. Let’s practice now: you don’t have to, but if you do, I promise you will enjoy it. Let’s all together take a nice deep sigh of relief.
e next chapter gives a taste of our approach and teaches basic concepts within a fasci­nating bit of physiology. So let’s take a nice deep sigh of relief – here we go!
