blisa: Infer Cell-Cell Communication from Spatial Transcriptomics

Identifies cell-cell communication hotspots in spatial transcriptomics data using bivariate Local Moran's I statistics on hexagonally binned cells. Provides functions for spatial weighting, ligand-receptor pair filtering, hotspot detection, and visualisation of sender-receiver cell-type interactions.
