doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.STDistance
abstract: Analysis of spatial relationships between cell types in spatial transcriptomics
  data. Spatial proximity is a critical factor in cell-cell communication. The package
  calculates nearest neighbor distances between specified cell types and provides
  visualization tools to explore spatial patterns. Applications include studying cell-cell
  interactions, immune microenvironment characterization, and spatial organization
  of tissues.
