How to distinguish the secreted signaling pattern——paracrine/autocrine signaling interactions about cellchat HOT 4 CLOSED

@BeyondMyPast228 First, our customized hierarchical plot allows easy-to-identified paracrine vs. autocrine signaling links; second, the signaling role plot also can tell you based on the sender and receiver measures; third, you can also access the communication probability matrix via cellchat@netP$prob or cellchat@net$prob, where the non-zero elements in the diagonal indicate the autocrine signaling.

Thanks your answer.

Hi @sqjin, so in the hierarchical plot, the left part is autocrine or the right part is autocrine?

@guokai8 I am not very clear what you are referring to. But the link from one solid circle (source) with one open circle (target) with the same colors is the autocrine signaling.
