Visualisation of cell types connected by the top ten summed-specificity edges in Tabula Muris based on a secreted ligands and b plasma-membrane ligands. Coloured shadows highlight the isolated communities found in each network, edge labels correspond to the summed-specificity weight of the edge. Dashed oval in a highlights highly specific signalling from hepatocytes to multiple cell types via secreted ligands. Dashed oval in b highlights a set of four brain-derived cell types communicating via plasma-membrane ligands.
