Background:

Spatial transcriptomics integrates gene expression with spatial location for tissue analysis.
Current methods often overlook crucial multiscale cell-cell interactions.
Understanding these interactions is vital for biological processes.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce Multiscale Cell-Cell Interactive Spatial Transcriptomics (MCIST) analysis.
To address the gap in analyzing multiscale cell-cell interactions in spatial transcriptomics.
To enhance the accuracy and scope of spatial transcriptomics data interpretation.

Main Methods:

MCIST combines multiscale topological representations of cell-cell interactions with spatial deep learning.
The method was validated against 14 state-of-the-art techniques.
Evaluated on a large collection of 37 benchmark spatial transcriptomics datasets.

Main Results:

MCIST demonstrated superior performance in spatial domain detection, achieving the best clustering score on 23/37 datasets.
It ranked among the top three methods on 33/37 datasets, significantly outperforming existing approaches.
MCIST provided over an 11% improvement in spatial domain detection compared to the previous state-of-the-art.

Conclusions:

MCIST offers a novel approach to spatial transcriptomics by incorporating multiscale cell-cell interactions.
The method significantly advances spatial domain detection and provides multiscale insights for trajectory inference, gene detection, and pathway analysis.
MCIST highlights the importance of a multiscale perspective in spatial transcriptomics research.
