Colony context and size-dependent compensation mechanisms give rise to variations in nuclear growth trajectories

Abstract

Summary: To investigate the fundamental question of how cellular variations arise across spatiotemporal scales in a population of identical healthy cells, we focused on nuclear growth in hiPS cell colonies as a model system. We generated a 3D timelapse dataset of thousands of nuclei over multiple days, and developed open-source tools for image and data analysis and an interactive timelapse viewer for exploring quantitative features of nuclear size and shape. We performed a data-driven analysis of nuclear growth variations across timescales. We found that individual nuclear volume growth trajectories arise from short timescale variations attributable to their spatiotemporal context within the colony. We identified a strikingly time-invariant volume compensation relationship between nuclear growth duration and starting volume across the population. Notably, we discovered that inheritance plays a crucial role in determining these two key nuclear growth features while other growth features are determined by their spatiotemporal context and are not inherited.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
