We present a method to model biological systems, the theory of games networks. It extends game theory by multiplying the number of games, and by allowing agents to play several games simultaneously. Some important notions of biological systems, such as locality of interactions and modularity, can then be modelled.

To better understand this process, we need to study each one of the levels involved, which allows the scale change, and to integrate this knowledge. A matricellular protein, PAI-1, is able to induce in vitro cell behaviour modifications, morphological changes, and to promote cell migration.
