CellPhoneDB v5 is officially published! nature.com/articles/s4159… Very happy to have played a small role in it by developing some tools to help visualise the complex cell-cell interaction data!
I’m happy to share our latest work on tumour necrosis! During my time in the @megeblad lab, we found that tumour necrosis is not a passive phenomenon secondary to tumour growth, but an active phenomenon driven by neutrophils and NETs! Thread below: (1/13) nature.com/articles/s4158…
