The complexity of signallingnetworks and the absence of comprehensive and accurate quantitative datamake a precise mathematical description of such networks difficult. Thiswork deals with the questions, if and how predications about signalling pro-cesses for specific cellular models can be made with the aid of interactiondatabases and gene expression profiles.Startingfrommolecularinteraction-databasescomplexnetworksaregen-erated comprising all known cellular signalling paths. But, not all of themplay a role in a specific cellular model. The specific adaptation of the net-works to a specific cellular system is achieved by additional integration ofdata obtained from gene expression profiles. Thereby, 1.
