Figure 1G from A pan-cancer single-cell transcriptional atlas of tumor infiltrating myeloid cells (Cell, 2021). A UMAP embedding of myeloid cell populations across multiple cancer types — macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells, and beyond.
Every dot is a cell. Every color is a voice. No two speak the same language.
