📝 Network #medicine: a network-based
approach to human disease
Albert-László #Barabási, Natali Gulbahce and Joseph Loscalzo

https://goo.gl/ttka2U

📌 ABSTRACT:
Given the functional interdependencies between the molecular components in a
human cell, a disease is rarely a consequence of an abnormality in a single gene, but reflects
the perturbations of the complex intracellular and intercellular network that links tissue
and organ systems. The emerging tools of network medicine offer a platform to explore
systematically not only the molecular complexity of a particular disease, leading to the
identification of disease modules and pathways, but also the molecular relationships among
apparently distinct (patho)phenotypes. Advances in this direction are essential for identifying
new disease genes, for uncovering the biological significance of disease-associated
mutations identified by genome-wide association studies and full-genome sequencing, and
for identifying drug targets and biomarkers for complex diseases.

📝 NETWORK BIOLOGY:
UNDERSTANDING THE CELL’S FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION
Albert-László #Barabási & Zoltán N. Oltvai

https://goo.gl/it6tlU

📌 ABSTRACT:
A key aim of postgenomic biomedical research is to systematically catalogue all molecules and
their interactions within a living cell. There is a clear need to understand how these molecules and the interactions between them determine the function of this enormously complex machinery, both in isolation and when surrounded by other cells. Rapid advances in network biology indicate that cellular networks are governed by universal laws and offer a new conceptual framework that could potentially revolutionize our view of biology and disease pathologies in the twenty-first century.

📃Sensitivity of Complex Networks

https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.05264

Marco Tulio Angulo, Gabor Lippner, Yang-Yu Liu, Albert-László #Barabási

📌 ABSTRACT:
The sensitivity (i.e. dynamic response) of complex networked systems has not been well understood, making difficult to predict whether new macroscopic dynamic behavior will emerge even if we know exactly how individual nodes behave and how they are coupled. Here we build a framework to quantify the sensitivity of complex networked system of coupled dynamic units. We characterize necessary and sufficient conditions for the emergence of new macroscopic dynamic behavior in the thermodynamic limit. We prove that these conditions are satisfied only for architectures with power-law degree distributions. Surprisingly, we find that highly connected nodes (i.e. hubs) only dominate the sensitivity of the network up to certain critical frequency.

📌 Abstract
This paper looks at mapping covert networks using data available from news sources on the World Wide Web. Specifically, we examine the network surrounding the tragic events of September 11th 2001. Through public data we are able to map a portion of the network centered on the 19 dead hijackers. This map gives us some insight into the terrorist organization, yet it is incomplete. Suggestions for further work and research are offered.
Dear SFI Community,

We are pleased to announce our 2017 Complex Systems Summer School. But we need your help. If you know graduate students and postdocs who might be interested in becoming a Complexity Scholar, please forward this email to them. Below is some information about the 2017 CSSS, including the fast-approaching January 23 application deadline. Thank you for being an ambassador of SFI and complex systems science.

The Complex Systems Summer School offers an intensive four week introduction to complex behavior in mathematical, physical, living, and social systems for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professionals in the sciences and social sciences. The school is for participants who seek background and hands-on experience to help them prepare to conduct interdisciplinary research in areas related to complex systems.

Application deadline: January 23, 2017

Who is eligible: Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in any discipline. Proficiency in English is required.

APPLY NOW HERE

📃 Group Minds and the Case of Wikipedia
Simon DeDeo

https://arxiv.org/abs/1407.2210

📌 ABSTRACT:
Group-level cognitive states are widely observed in human social systems, but their discussion is often ruled out a priori in quantitative approaches. In this paper, we show how reference to the irreducible mental states and psychological dynamics of a group is necessary to make sense of large scale social phenomena. We introduce the problem of mental boundaries by reference to a classic problem in the evolution of cooperation. We then provide an explicit quantitative example drawn from ongoing work on cooperation and conflict among Wikipedia editors, showing how some, but not all, effects of individual experience persist in the aggregate. We show the limitations of methodological individualism, and the substantial benefits that come from being able to refer to collective intentions, and attributions of cognitive states of the form "what the group believes" and "what the group values".
