Figure 2. Genes upregulated in APS neutrophils that had been associated with “cell adhesion” within MEDLINE abstracts.

Genes that had also been associated with “neutrophil adhesion” are shown in blue. The size of each node is proportional to the number of connections within this network, and the thickness of the edges is proportional to the number of times the terms were co-mentioned in the literature. Relationships with a strength of 5 or greater (see Methods) and genes with at least 4 connections within the network were included in the figure. This was done to reduce clutter and emphasize which genes were highly interconnected within the cellular adhesion network.
