UMAP of white blood cells found in the outer layer of the meninges of mice

Caption

Different types of white blood cells found in the outer layer of the meninges of mice. Examining around 3,000 cells, scientists analysed which genes are active in every single cell and identified 19 different cell types. One dot corresponds to an individual cell. The closer the dots are to each other, the more similarities there are between the cells. About 1700 active genes were detected per cell.
