The electrodes are placed between the malleoli on the dorsal part of the foot for the peroneal array, between the heel and medial malleolus for the posterior tibial array and between the heel and lateral malleolus for the sural array (Fig. 1B). The number of electrodes and overall dimension...
Pearson’s correlation was performed to assess the correlations between immune cell subsets. The correlation results are presented only for P < 0.05 in the correlation heatmap. The ESTIMATE algorithm was applied to compute the proportion of immune and stromal components in the immune ...
