Albert-Laszlo Barabasi talks about the way network theory can be used to fight disease and to advance our research in biology. Slightly slow-paced, but nevertheless a good introduction into applied network theory from one of the world’s most renowned physicist with stunning visuals.
A very interesting paper by Kitano “Biological Robustness” (published in 2004 in Nature Genetics journal) offers a very insightful summary on what biological robustness is and how it emerges in networks. Kitano demonstrates how small-world architecture and the existence of an interconnected core control center both increase the robustness of a system.
