Researchers have developed PPI-Net, a novel graph neural network designed to connect protein interactions with functional disease processes. This hierarchical model integrates protein-protein interaction networks with pathway representations, using graph attention to aggregate gene-level signals into higher-order biological programs. PPI-Net demonstrates strong predictive performance across various cancer types, achieving over 90% balanced accuracy and offering mechanistic insights into cancer biology by recovering canonical oncogenic modules.
