The collection of systems represented in Sourcebook of Models for Biomedical Research is an effort to reflect the diversity and utility of models that are used in biomedicine. That utility is based on the consideration that observations made in particular organisms will provide insight into the workings of other, more complex, systems. Even the cell cycle in the simple yeast cell has similarities to that in humans and regulation with similar proteins occurs.
