Identification of 11 major cell types in ascending aortic tissues from TAK and control groups. (A) t-SNE plot displaying cells color-coded by the 11 major cell types (B) t-SNE plot illustrating the relative expression of marker genes across selected cell types. (C) Mean expression levels of selected genes in major cell types (D) t-SNE plot comparing the distribution of 11 major cell types between control and TAK groups (E) Horizontal bar plot showing the proportional composition of each cell type (calculated as the ratio of control cells to the total number of cells across all specimens).
