CellWHISPER disentangles direct cell–cell communication from structural proximity

2026-01-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4> Abstract </h4> Direct, contact-dependent cell–cell communication shapes tissue physiology and disease. Spatial transcriptomics offers a unique opportunity to infer such communication mechanisms, but the few existing tools for such inference are prone to high error rates due to spatial structure in distribution of cell types and gene expression. We present CellWHISPER, a statistical framework for inferring c...
