Cellular communication relies on the intricate interplay of signaling molecules, which come together to form the cell–cell interaction (CCI) network that orchestrates tissue behavior. Researchers have shown that shallow neural networks can effectively reconstruct the CCI from the abundant molecular data captured in spatial transcriptomics (ST). However, in scenarios characterized by sparse connections and excessive noise within the CCI, shallow networks are often susceptible to inaccuracies, leading to suboptimal reconstruction outcomes. To achieve a more comprehensive and precise CCI reconstruction, we propose a novel method called triple-enhancement-based graph neural network (TENET). The TENET framework has been implemented and evaluated on both real and synthetic ST datasets. This protocol primarily introduces our network architecture and its implementation.
