The potential landscape for the cancer network. The parameters are evaluated at: degradation constantk= 1, activation strengtha= 0.5, repression strengthb= 0.5, and diffusion constantD= 0.01. (a) The potential landscape and the kinetic dominant pathways. (b) Two-dimensional landscape of the cancer network.^[39]
