Abstract

We present here, informally, ideas on ongoing work for analyzing chromatic (labeled) point clouds, with the goal of understanding spatial interactions between cell types in biological settings. We describe our starting framework and state some open questions that we are currently addressing. Two specific contexts attract our interest: (1) tumor microenvironment and (2) cell differentiation process.
