Dot plot of cell communication. The horizontal axis represents the two cell types involved in communication. The left side of the en-dash represents the cell type of the ligands, and the right side represents the cell type of the receptors. The vertical axis represents cell signalling. The size of the circle represents the P value after -log10 transformation, so the larger the circle is, the greater the confidence there is in this interaction. The colour represents the average expression of the ligands and the receptors.
