Filtering cells with high mitochondrial content depletes viable metabolically altered malignant cell populations in cancer single-cell studies

Abstract Background Single-cell transcriptomics has transformed our understanding of cellular diversity, yet noise from technical artifacts and low-quality cells can obscure key biological signals. A common practice is filtering out cells with a high percentage of mitochondrial RNA counts (pctMT), t...
