class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 3. Expression profiles of necroptosis-related biomarkers in the scRNA-seq data. A dimension reduction plot (A) and boxplot (B) showing the profiles of EGF expression in different cell types. The expression levels of PAG1 in scRNA-seq data as shown as a dimension reduction plot (C) and boxplot (D). ZFP36 expression profile in different types of cells in the GSE131882 as shown in a dimension reduction plot (E) and boxplot (F). (Wilcoxon’s test; *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001).
