(D) Heatmaps depicting unique inflammatory genes contributing to the ‘Inflammatory Hallmark’ enrichment in ovarian tumors from (i) young (ii) aged hosts. ( E) CD45 + cells deconvolution using CIBERSORTX from young and aged host tumors. (F) (i-iv) GSEA of CD45⁺-enriched regions compared between young and aged hosts using Hallmark gene sets (FDR<0.05).
