Fig. 7: The percentage and the spatial adjacency of major cell types.

a The percentage distribution of major cell types from colon tissue of healthy control patients and ulcerative colitis patients with inflamed and remission. Each pie chart shows the percentage of major immune and epithelial cell types from each patient. b The normalized adjacent immune cells around the epithelial cells (number of the adjacent immune cells divided by the number of epithelial cells). Data are presented as means ± standard deviation, and the statistical significance were determined using the two-way ANOVA test (*: P-value < 0.01; **: P-value < 0.001; ***: P-value < 0.0001; ns no significance).
