apoptosis is a complex network of biochemical and molecular pathway with fine regulatory mechanisms that control the death event during several pathological situations in multi cellular organisms. it is the part of normal development that occurs in a variety of diseases and is known as aberrant apoptosis. pancreatic β cell apoptosis is also a pathological feature which is common in both type 1 ...

MOTIVATION A useful approach to unraveling and understanding complex biological networks is to decompose networks into basic functional and structural units. Recent application of convex analysis to metabolic networks leads to the development of network-based metabolic pathway analysis and the decomposition of metabolic networks into metabolic extreme pathways that are true functional units of ...
