In contrast, systems theoretical approaches can help us illuminate relevant features of ERBB network structure, which may contribute to its robustness, its role in our vulnerability to approaches help explain why certain kinds of circuitry and network structures are so common, across a variety of species (see, e.g., Levine and Davidson 2005) and how they come to play a role in cancer. particular genes mutated in cancer and then build a network model, a representation of both the organizational structure and dynamics of gene expression over time, as a tumor progresses. ./cache/work_p4knzwiifzc4zmyvc6lli6wn5q.pdf ./txt/work_p4knzwiifzc4zmyvc6lli6wn5q.txt
