Figure 3

Atrophy molecular network. The whole molecular network was constructed through the integration of single networks computed from different atrophy expression datasets (denervation, unloading, fasting, diseases, ageing). Gene/protein nodes are represented by squares with identification symbols. Squares with red borders indicate up regulated nodes, whereas green borders indicate down regulated nodes. Colour of the symbol area identifies the expression dataset in which the corresponding gene was calculated as differentially expressed. Selection of network areas (black oval contours) has been performed focusing on hub genes/proteins. The whole network from which this zoomed network has been obtained is available in Additional file 1.
