Popis: Understanding protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and the pathways they comprise is essential for comprehending cellular functions and their links to specific phenotypes. Despite the prevalence of molecular data generated by high-throughput sequencing technologies, a significant gap remains in translating this data into functional information regarding the series of interactions that underlie phenotypic differences. In this review, we present an in-depth analysis of heterogeneous network methodologies for modeling protein pathways, highlighting the critical role of integrating multifaceted biological data. It outlines the process of constructing these networks, from data representation to machine learning-driven predictions and evaluations. The work underscores the potential of heterogeneous networks in capturing the complexity of proteomic interactions, thereby offering enhanced accuracy in pathway prediction. This approach not only deepens our understanding of cellular processes but also opens up new possibilities in disease treatment and drug discovery by leveraging the predictive power of comprehensive proteomic data analysis.
