This volume introduces the reader to the field of systems medicine by defining its terminology, and describing how established computational methods from bioinformatics and systems biology can be taken forward to establish integrative systems medicine approaches.  Systems Medicine provides an outlook on the role that systems medicine may or should play in various medical fields. Describing different facets of the systems medicine approach in action, including examples related to human metabolism, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the RNAs in biomedicine and regenerative stem cell medicine.  Chapters also introduce tools, resources and methodologies from bioinformatics and systems biology, and shows how to apply these in a systems medicine project. Written for the Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, and discuss experimental and computational approaches, methods,  and tools that should be considered for a successful systems medicine project. Systems Medicine aims to motivate and provide guidance for collaborations across disciplines to tackle today's challenges related to human health and well-being.
