Description
Palumbo, Farina, and Petti argue that precision medicine needs a shared language, and networks can supply it. Single-gene thinking fails for diseases born of many interacting causes. Network medicine instead maps how genes, proteins, and clinical facts connect, exposing disease modules and drug targets that lists of parts cannot show.
The review's twist is social: a network diagram is something a doctor and a data scientist can both read, question, and refine together. Tools like molecular tumor boards already work this way, pairing computation with clinical judgment. The authors see this shared network language, more than any single algorithm, as the bridge that turns complex data into care fitted to one patient.
