As the best solution, we recommend - if possible and biologically sensible to annotate your cells at one level higher in the cell type annotation hierarchy (eg sub cell type can be seen as a different cell state). Hereby, you will not have this problem of condition-specific cell types anymore.

*1) General Workflow: This is the regular MultiNicheNet approach. In the general workflow, condition-specific cell types are excluded from the analysis. This approach focuses on achieving the best prioritization for other cell types that are present across different conditions, allowing for a standard DE analysis. The exclusion of condition-specific cell types simplifies the analysis but at the expense of potentially missing out on valuable insights that these unique cell types could provide. Therefore you can go further with the next two workflows:

37
*2) Workflow A (Sender Cell Types): This workflow adapts the analysis to include condition-specific cell types as sender cell types. It circumvents the need for DE analysis of the ligand by only focusing the ligand-prioritization on ligand cell type specificity and ligand activity.

*3) Workflow B (Receiver Cell Types): Workflow B allows for the inclusion of condition-specific cell types as receiver cell types by forgoing the DE analysis of the receiver, meaning that we cannot consider receptor differential expresion and ligand activity. Instead, receptor prioritization is based solely on the receptor cell type specificity.
