a The unbalanced transport relaxes the mass conservation constraint (e.g. lines between circles), and the structured transport utilizes additional information (e.g. dotted links) to refine the mapping (e.g. blue hexagon). b Cell–cell distance is inferred by computing optimal transport distance of the spatial probability distributions of cells (rows of γ in a). c Calculated cell–cell distance, along with partial information decomposition and random forest models, is used to infer spatial distance of signaling and then construct space-constrained cell–cell communications and identify potential intercellular regulation between genes.
