Reference-free cell type deconvolution of multi-cellular pixel-resolution spatially resolved transcriptomics data

Identifying cell-type-specific spatial patterns in ST data is critical for understanding tissue organization but current methods rely on external references. Here the authors develop a reference-free method to effectively recover cell-type transcriptional profiles and proportions.
