Spatiotemporal atlas of internal hemorrhoids in rats elucidated using integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics

Figure 7 Intercellular communication networks and protein expression. A and B: The X-axis and Y-axis indicate cell types; the color gradient from dark blue to dark red indicates an increasing number of interactions; C and D: The X-axis indicates cell type interactions, and the Y-axis indicates ligand-receptor pairs. Larger dots indicate smaller P values (greater significance); the color represents the average expression level (indicating interaction strength); E: Western blots showing protein expression. Ctrl: Control group; Model-1w: 1 week of modeling; Model-2w: 2 weeks of modeling.
