Molecular metabolic, signaling and gene-regulatory networks form complex networks that underly the normal physiological functioning of the cell. Various perturbations within these networks have been described in diseases. We will here use original papers to study and discuss how perturbations can be implemented in models and how they change the network characteristics. We will focus on dynamic models described by ordinary differential equations.
