Retrieval and representation of each disease network. The differentially expressed genes in MS or AD using blood or brain tissue were obtained from published DNA array studies. The corresponding protein (seed-protein) for each differentially expressed gene was identified in public databases (STRING). The network in which such proteins were embedded was built by retrieving the first neighbor of each protein in the protein-protein interaction database available at the STRING database.
