While transcriptomics have enhanced our understanding for cancer, spatial transcriptomics enable the characterisation of cellular interactions. Here, the authors integrate single cell data with spatial information for HER2 + tumours and develop tools for the prediction of interactions between tumour-infiltrating cells.
