Figure 1

Representative spatial transcriptomics cell type clusters determined by K-means clustering. Clustering is identified by the presence of colored dots. Unmarked insets to the right of each region demonstrate the microscopic appearance of the cells/tissue structures in each region for visual histologic confirmation of cluster classification by cell type or feature. (A) Myofibers (orange and dark green dots) clustered separately from (B) Non-myofiber features (no dots). At higher magnification, clustering separated (C) vessels (blue dots) from perivascular lipid-laden macrophages (light green dots), (D) inflammatory infiltrates indicative of myositis (yellow dots), and (E) perimysial connective tissue (teal blue dots).
