摘要
Spatial transcriptomics technology has been an essential and powerful method for delineating tissue architecture at the molecular level.However,due to the limitations of the current spatial techniques,the cellular information cannot be directly measured but instead spatial spots typically varying from a diameter of 0.2 to 100µm are characterized.Therefore,it is vital to apply computational strategies for inferring the cellular composition within each spatial spot.The main objective of this review is to summarize the most recent progresses in estimating the exact cellular proportions for each spatial spot,and to prospect the future directions of this field.
