Immune activation has been recently found to play a large part in the development of schizophrenia, but the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we report the construction of a high-quality protein interaction network for schizophrenia (SCZ Network) using a \"neighborhood walking\" approach to searching across human interactome network for disease-related neighborhoods. The spatiotemporal expression pattern of the immune genes in the SCZ Network demonstrates that this disease network is sensitive to the perturbation of immune activation during mid- to late fetal development and adolescence. The immune genes in the network are involved in pathways regulating the formation, structure and function of synapses and neural connections. Using single-cell transcriptome sequencing on the brains of immune-activated mice, we found that immune activation disturbed the SCZ network in the major brain cell types and the dysregulated pathways were also involved in synapse regulation, demonstrating that our \"neighborhood walking\" approach enables biological discovery in complex disorders.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
