Identification of Intercellular Signaling Changes Across Conditions and Their Influence on Intracellular Signaling Response From Multiple Single-Cell Datasets

Identification of intercellular signaling changes across multiple single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets as well as how intercellular communications affect intracellular transcription factors (TFs) to regulate target genes is crucial in understanding how distinct cell states respond to evol...
