Fig. 1From: Network analysis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA): a new horizon for the understanding of disease pathogenesis and therapeutic target identificationNetwork biology identifies the relationships between diverse biological components (1). The singular components are then analyzed in a biological system, or interactome model (2) to understand the physical and functional relationships. The subsequent study of sub-networks that might represent biological molecules functionally linked working in a coordinate manner (3) and the topological structure of a network (4) are important to depict and prioritise a specific biological function (5)Back to article page
