doi: 10.3389/fonc.2025.1703778

Figure Lengend Snippet: Spatial organization and cell-cell communication networks in the tumor microenvironment. (A–C) The developmental trajectories of cell sub-populations from a spatial perspective are investigated. (D, E) Heatmap and network diagrams displaying cell–cell dependency analysis in the colocated, neighboring, and extended neighboring (15-point) regions of the spatial transcriptomics data. (F) The interaction heatmap visualized the intensity of intercellular interactions mediated by the ligand-receptor pairs. (G) The spatial cell communication network diagram illustrates that NUhighepi exhibit a higher intensity of cell communication with other cells. (H) Circos plot summarizing cell-type-specific interaction patterns.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Cellbin-based analysis enables accurate identification of distinct cell types in the mouse testis. (A) RCTD-annotated distinct cell types and their proportions. (B) UMAP visualization of the Salus-STS Cellbin data with scRNA-Seq data. (C) Spatial distribution of distinct cell types in the mouse testis. (D) Integrated distribution map of cell distributions in the mouse testis. (E) Markers of distinct cell types and their expression levels. Scaled expression: the average expression level scaled across genes to eliminate the effect of total expression level differences among genes. Percentage: for each cell type, the percentage of cellbins that express the specific gene out of all cellbins of the same type.
