cellphonedb

is a Data Source.

CellPhoneDB is a publicly available repository of manually curated human receptors, ligands and their interactions, paired with a statistical tool to infer cell-cell communication from single-cell transcriptomics data. It accounts for the subunit architecture of both ligands and receptors, accurately representing heteromeric complexes, and predicts enriched signaling between cell types based on the combined expression of interacting partners.

CellPhoneDB

CellPhoneDB is a publicly available repository of manually curated human receptors, ligands and their interactions, paired with a statistical tool to infer cell-cell communication from single-cell transcriptomics data. Unlike resources that treat interactions as binary pairs, CellPhoneDB accounts for the subunit architecture of both ligands and receptors, accurately representing heteromeric complexes.

In KG-Registry, the CellPhoneDB products surface the curated interactions database, the Python analysis package that predicts enriched cell-cell interactions from single-cell expression data, the web interface for browsing the database, and the source code and documentation.
