Abstract: **Abstract:** The accurate reconstruction of Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks is fundamental to understanding cellular function and disease mechanisms. Current PPI network reconstructions suffer from low resolution, averaging interactions over extended timescales and masking transient, crucial interactions. This paper introduces a novel approach utilizing Temporal Graph Neural Networks (TGNNs) equipped with an Adaptive Edge Refinement (AER) module to reconstruct PPI networks with enhanced temporal resolution. Our method leverages multi-omics data (proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics) and advanced GNN architectures to dynamically refine edges based on their temporal stability and biological relevance, yielding a high-resolution, condition-specific PPI network. This framework improves upon existing methods by incorporating transient interactions and adapting to diverse experimental conditions, providing a powerful tool for biological discovery. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach on simulated PPI datasets and real-world experimental data, achieving a 1.7x improvement in resolution and a 1.3x increase in predictive power for identifying disease-associated PPIs compared to state-of-the-art methods.
