Twenty years ago, molecular biology shifted from studying genes in isolation to viewing them as part of complex modules, and now cell biology is undergoing a similar transition from studying individual cells to studying cellular modules.
Twenty years ago, molecular biology transitioned from predominantly studying genes as isolated elements to viewing them as part of complex modules, giving rise to the field of systems biology. This transition was made possible by technological advances that allowed to simultaneously measure the expression levels of thousands of genes in a single experiment and drove a shift toward analyses identifying gene sets, modules, and pathways involved in a biological process of interest. Today we are excitingly facing a similar turning point in cell biology, where single-cell technologies have enabled us to approach cells as cellular modules.
