Article Title: Resolving the immune landscape of human prostate at a single-cell level in health and cancer
doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.110132
Figure Lengend Snippet: Immune landscape of the prostate includes a prostate-specific macrophage subset enriched in metallothionein transcripts (A) UMAP of 793 cells in myeloid compartment after integration of myeloid/MNP cells from n = 10 patients with Henry et al. myeloid/MNP cells. (B) Mean expression dot plot of top five significant marker genes for each myeloid cluster. Marker genes were identified using Wilcoxon rank sum test and p adj < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Size of circles indicate percentage of cells expressing the gene and increasing color gradient from white to red corresponds to increasing expression value. (C) UMAP plot of predicted MNP clusters in prostate cancer single cell data from ( Karthaus et al., 2020 , Chen et al., 2021 , Crowley et al., 2020 ).
