Background:

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) provides gene expression data with spatial context but suffers from low resolution, noise, and sparsity.
These limitations hinder the detailed analysis of subtle tissue structures and biological functions.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce SpaHDmap, an interpretable framework for enhancing ST spatial resolution.
To integrate ST gene expression data with high-resolution histology images for improved analysis.

Main Methods:

SpaHDmap utilizes non-negative matrix factorization within a deep learning framework.
It enables the identification of high-resolution spatial metagenes (embeddings).
The framework supports multi-sample analysis and is compatible with diverse histology image types.

Main Results:

SpaHDmap effectively generates high-resolution spatial metagenes.
The method successfully detects refined spatial structures in ST data.
Evaluations on various datasets confirm SpaHDmap's performance.

Conclusions:

SpaHDmap offers a powerful approach for integrating ST and histology data.
It provides deeper insights into complex tissue structures and functions.
This framework advances the analysis of spatial transcriptomics data.
