Single-Cell RNA Sequencing in Tumor Microenvironment Mapping

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex and dynamic ecosystem composed of malignant cells, immune infiltrates, stromal elements, and vascular components that collectively influence tumor initiation, progression, immune escape, and therapeutic response. Traditional bulk transcriptomic approaches obscure this complexity by averaging gene expression across heterogeneous cell populations.
