Network Map. The genes selected for this study were uploaded to the online network mapping software STRING, which then establishes the known interactions between the different proteins. As can be seen in the map, only four of the proteins (Hspb1, Tspo, Sox11, and Fyb) are considered orphans with no currently known or observed interactions with all of the other proteins in our study. This network map, visually illustrates which genes interact with which others, and possibly identifies “high value” targets, which could be used to manipulate the post-injury cell response
