Exploring single cells in space and time during tissue development, homeostasis and regeneration

Abstract

ABSTRACT Complex 3D tissues arise during development following tightly organized events in space and time. In particular, gene regulatory networks and local interactions between single cells lead to emergent properties at the tissue and organism levels. To understand the design principles of tissue organization, we need to characterize individual cells at given times, but we also need to consider the collective behavior of multiple cells across different spatial and temporal scales. In recent years, powerful single cell methods have been developed to characterize cells in tissues and to address the challenging questions of how different tissues are formed throughout development, maintained in homeostasis, and repaired after injury and disease. These approaches have led to a massive increase in data pertaining to both mRNA and protein abundances in single cells. As we review here, these new technologies, in combination with in toto live imaging, now allow us to bridge spatial and temporal information quantitatively at the single cell level and generate a mechanistic understanding of tissue development.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Cell type-specific gene expression changes associated with different cell states may be seen during circadian cycles, variable metabolic states, development, aging, or under behavioral, pharmacological or diseased conditions.

    “Cell type-specific gene expression changes associated with different cell states may be seen during circadian cycles, variable metabolic states, development, aging, or under behavioral, pharmacological or diseased conditions (Fig. 4) (Mayr et al., 2019; Morris, 2019).”

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.
