A pan-cancer single-cell transcriptional atlas of tumor infiltrating myeloid cells
Open accessAbstract
cDCs revealed their differences in transcription factors and external stimulus. Additionally, pro-angiogenic tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) were characterized with diverse markers across different cancer types, and the composition of TIMs appeared to be associated with certain features of somatic mutations and gene expressions. Our results provide a systematic view of the highly heterogeneous TIMs and suggest future avenues for rational, targeted immunotherapies.

Previous observations show low expression of TLR signaling genes and low innate immune activity of cDC3_LAMP3 and pro-inflammatory properties of cDC2_FCN1 and cDC2_IL1B in blood.
“This is in agreement with previous observations showing low expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling genes and low innate immune activity of cDC3_LAMP348 and the “pro-inflammatory” properties of cDC2_FCN1 and cDC2_IL1B in blood51.”

TOSICA identifies several subtypes of monocytes that have not been discovered in the original publication.
“Furthermore, benefiting from its high resolution, TOSICA identifies several subtypes of monocytes that have not been discovered in the original publication48 (Fig. 4h), all having their own biological signatures and potentially different functions (Supplementary Fig. 12e).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
