Fig. 7: Analysis of cell-cell communication in the cauda epididymis.

A Comparison of the number of inferred interactions and interaction strength between SD-treated and control cauda epididymal cells. The left bar chart shows the total number of inferred cell-cell interactions, while the right bar chart displays the average interaction strength for the SD and control groups. B Differential cell-cell interactions and interaction strength between cell types. The left panel illustrates the differential number of interactions between cell types, and the right panel depicts the differential interaction strength. The nodes represent different cell types, and the direction of the arrows indicates the direction of cell communication (from the initiating cell to the receiving cell). Red arrows signify an increase in communication quantity or strength in the SD group compared to the control group, while blue arrows indicate the opposite. The thickness of the arrows represents the magnitude of the respective change.
