摘要
This paper aims at showing how the so-called mathematical kinetic theory for active particles can be properly developed to propose a new system biology approach. The investigation begins with an analysis of complexity in biological systems, continues with reviewing a general methodology to reduce complexity and furnishes the mathematical tools to describe the time evolution of such systems by capturing all their features.
