The paper analyzes human endothelial cell heterogeneity across tissues using scRNA-seq data and identifies tissue-specific cell-cell communication patterns.

This study shows that epsin deletion reduces foam cell formation and rewires vascular smooth muscle cell and endothelial functions in atherosclerosis.

MEBOCOST infers metabolite-mediated cell communications from single-cell RNA-seq data, identifying known and novel interactions in mouse brown adipose tissue.

The paper introduces MACMIC, a method to identify feature pairs with maximal colocalization and minimal correlation, revealing CTCF's dual role in regulating cell identity genes through epigenetic mechanisms.
