The development of single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies has greatly contributed to deciphering the tumor microenvironment (TME). An enormous amount of independent scRNA-seq studies have been published representing a valuable resource that provides opportunities for meta-analysis studies. However, the massive ...
