Here, we propose the use of a time-fractional diffusion model on the PPI network of proteins targeted by SARS-CoV-2. We now consider how a perturbation produced by SARS-CoV-2 on a protein mainly expressed in the lungs can be propagated to proteins mainly located in other tissues (see Table S4 in the supplementary material) by a subdiffusive process. Here, we have studied the particular case in which the time-fractional diffusion equation produces a subdiffusive regime, with the use of α = 3/4 in the network of human proteins targeted by SARS-CoV-2. ./cache/cord-285647-9tegcrc3.txt ./txt/cord-285647-9tegcrc3.txt
