Cell-Hub Database: a consolidated multi-species ligand-receptor interaction resource for cell-cell communication analysis

Cell-cell communication analysis by ligand-receptor interaction inference has become a standard component of single-cell transcriptomics workflows. However, existing ligand-receptor databases are fragmented across independent resources with heterogeneous formats, inconsistent gene nomenclature, and limited species coverage, requiring researchers to manually curate and convert interaction data…
