Myeloid Cell States

Myeloid Cell States

Research analysis of macrophage/monocyte/neutrophil states, tissue comparisons, inflammatory programmes and spatial relationships to lymphocytes. Scope is agreed after reviewing laboratory-generated data, study design and feasibility.

Analyses are tailored to your experimental design, data quality and research question. The workflow and deliverables are agreed following project review.

Analysis modules

Reference review: confirm compatible species, tissue and capture protocol.

Myeloid annotation: resolve macrophage, monocyte and neutrophil states without binary M1/M2 labels.

Inflammatory programmes: compare supported signatures across conditions.

Tissue comparisons: assess sampling, dissociation and granulocyte capture biases.

Spatial relationships: map compatible myeloid–lymphocyte neighbourhoods.

Data and metadata

ScRNA, cytometry or spatial profiles with compatible reference species/tissue. Include assay and processing provenance, quality-control summaries, sample identifiers without patient identifiers, species/tissue, groups, controls, batch and relevant donor/time-point metadata.

Proposed deliverables

Annotations, programme scores and comparative maps. Proposed outputs include documented methods, quality-control summaries and explicit limitations; deliverables are tailored after review.

Interpretation and feasibility

Avoid binary M1/M2 oversimplification; account for dissociation and granulocyte capture bias.
