Figure 2. — Illustrations of biologically relevant network measures. (a) Node degree is the number of edges (direct neighbours) connected to a node (cell). (b) The topological shortest path between two nodes (cells) is the minimum number of nodes (cells) between one node (cell) and another. (c) The clustering coefficient of a node (cell) is the fraction of possible edges between its direct neighbours that actually exist. (d) The betweenness centrality of a node (cell) is the fraction of all shortest paths in the network (tissue) that run through that node (cell).
