Abstract excerpt
The molecular and clinical features of a complex disease can be influenced by other diseases affecting the same individual. Understanding disease-disease interactions is therefore crucial for revealing shared molecular mechanisms among diseases and designing effective treatments. Here we introduce Flow Centrality (FC), a network-based approach to identify the genes mediating the interaction between two diseases...
