FIGURE 2.

Dynamic network analysis depicts correlations between inflammatory mediators that evolve with time. (A–C) Network connectivity remains relatively low. IL-1β is correlated with both IL-4 and TNF-α between 210 and 270 min. (D–F) Network complexity increases and then resolves by 510 min. GM-CSF is a key node of inflammation during peak network complexity. (G–I) Network complexity peaks between 570 and 630 min, during which IL-18 and IL-1β have the greatest number of connections with inflammatory mediators. By the end of the experiments, IL-5, IL-6, and MCP-1 are all connected with each other between 630 and 690 min.
