Single-cell sequencing analysis reveals cancer-associated pericyte subgroup in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to predict prognosis by Kai Xiong, Bing Pan, Hao Fang, Ziyou Tao

“…The drug with a better effect on c5_TYMS was docetaxel (binding energy = -8.1, -8.7 kcal/mol); raloxifene may be more effective against c4_SOD2, although raloxifene has a slightly lower binding energy to SOD2 (-6.4 kcal/mol), it has a higher binding energy to PDGFRβ (-8.1 kcal/mol).ConclusionThe present study identified and discovered pericyte subpopulations that were significantly associated with prognosis, which provides new biomarkers for predicting patient prognosis and adds usable targets for immunotherapy, and it is also important for gaining insights into the composition of the TME in ESCC.…”
