  "summary": "Spatial transcriptomics is a rapidly evolving technology that allows for the measurement of gene expression in a spatially resolved manner. However, one technical problem that occurs for many sequencing-based spatial transcriptomics platforms is the presence of mRNA lateral diffusion, where mRNA from one spot can bind to probes in another spot, leading to contamination and inaccurate gene…",
