Characterization of the intercellular communication networks of LECs.

Box charts show different network’s metrics of the LCs with respect to the type (A-D) and the degree (E-H) of the cataract. Network’s metrics presented on the panels A-H are: the average network’s degree, kavg (A and E); the average clustering coefficient, Cavg (B and F); the global efficiency, EG(C and G); and, the relative number of communities (subcompartments), nc,i/Ni (D and H). Significant differences obtained after one-way ANOVA tests are indicated by asterisks. Box charts are defined the same as in previous figures.
