Abstract:
Type 1 diabetes is a prevalent autoimmune disease of which the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. The aim of the study was to identify dysregulated modules of type 1 diabetes. After microarray data were preprocessed, 20,545 genes were obtained. By integrating gene expression data and protein-protein interactions (PPI) data, 48,778 new networks were obtained, including 7,953 genes. After simplifying networks, we obtained 24 target networks. By ranking networks with P-values, two modules with P<0.05 were identified, including the genes, CCNB1, CDC45, GINS2, NDC80, FBXO5, NCAPG and DLGAP5. Module 2 was part of module 1. The identified modules and genes may provide new insights into the underlying biological mechanisms that drive the progression of type 1 diabetes.

When an ideal gas expands isothermally, the disorder in the gas increases. From the molecular perspective, the gas molecules have more volume to move around in.
Consider an infinitesimal step in the expansion, which...
