Investigating the Intercellular Communication Network of Immune Cell in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome with Sepsis

CellCall results and ridge plot of genes regulated by transcription factor (TF). (a) Intercellular signals from macrophage to other immune cells. (b) Ligand-receptor (LR) pairs between macrophage and other immune cells for two groups. (c) Downstream transcription factors (TFs) targeted by LR pairs in sepsis-induced ARDS and sepsis, and the width of each item means the frequencies of each pairs occurred among all the pairs, with the wider flow between two objects, the closer relation they have. (d) Ridgeline plot of genes regulated by TFs.
