Systems biology studies how complex dynamics emerge from many elements interacting with each other in biological systems. This definition might sound abstract, but the applications are concrete. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, two studies apply systems biology to study Clostridioides difficile, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections.

用系统生物学揭示艰难梭菌的毒力

系统生物学研究复杂的动力学如何从生物系统中相互作用的许多元素中产生。这个定义可能听起来很抽象，但应用是具体的。在本期Cell Host & Microbe 中，两项研究应用系统生物学来研究艰难梭菌，这是医院获得性感染的主要原因。
