    GlossaryProtein-Protein Interaction Network

    complex web of interactions between different proteins within cells

    A Protein-Protein Interaction Network (PPI Network) is a complex web of interactions between different proteins within a cell. These interactions are crucial for various biological processes, such as cell signaling, metabolism, and structural organization. Understanding PPI Networks helps scientists identify how proteins work together to maintain cellular functions and can provide insights into diseases like alopecia, where these interactions may be disrupted.
