  <dc:title>Population-Level Cell-Cell Communication Analysis Tools</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package PopComm version 1.0.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Facilitates population-level analysis of ligand-receptor (LR) interactions 
    using large-scale single-cell transcriptomic data. Identifies significant LR pairs 
    and quantifies their interactions through correlation-based filtering and projection score 
    computations. Designed for large-sample single-cell studies, the package employs 
    statistical modeling, including linear regression, to investigate LR relationships 
    between cell types. It provides a systematic framework for understanding cell-cell 
    communication, uncovering regulatory interactions and signaling mechanisms. 
    Offers tools for LR pair-level, sample-level, and differential interaction analyses, 
    with comprehensive visualization support to aid biological interpretation. 
    The methodology is described in a manuscript currently under review and will be 
    referenced here once published or publicly available.</dc:description>
