Reconstruction of neocortex: Organelles, compartments, cells, circuits, and activity

Nicholas L. Turner et al.

Summary: This article describes a model reconstructed from electron microscopic images of mouse primary visual cortex, and investigates the relationship between cell organization and function. The study suggests that the connectivity pattern of pyramidal cells is associated with their visual response strength and reliability.

3D FIB-SEM reconstruction of microtubule-organelle interaction in whole primary mouse beta cells

Andreas Mueller et al.

Summary: The study conducted detailed imaging and spatial reconstruction of microtubules in islet beta cells, revealing nonradial networks that are not strongly connected to centrioles or endomembranes. Microtubule number and length were found to vary with glucose stimulation, with insulin secretory granules enriched near the plasma membrane and associated with microtubules.

A robust unsupervised machine-learning method to quantify the morphological heterogeneity of cells and nuclei

Jude M. Phillip et al.

Summary: Cell morphology encodes essential information for studying, diagnosing, and treating diseases, but effectively defining morphological shapes and evaluating the extent of morphological heterogeneity within cell populations remain challenging. The VAMPIRE algorithm enables the analysis and classification of cell and nuclear morphology, providing a visual scheme for relating cell shapes to cellular subtypes and quantifying morphological heterogeneity. The protocol is highly automated and fast, allowing for quantification of cell morphologies from 2D substrates or embedded within 3D microenvironments.

Whole-cell organelle segmentation in volume electron microscopy

Larissa Heinrich et al.

Summary: FIB-SEM combined with deep-learning-based segmentation is used to produce 3D reconstructions of cells with annotated organelle classes. The automatic reconstruction method enables detailed understanding of cellular organization and spatial interactions, with potential applications in correlative studies. An open data repository, 'OpenOrganelle', has been created to share data and models for further scientific exploration.

Elementary nervous systems

Detlev Arendt

Summary: The evolutionary origin of the nervous system has been a matter of long-standing debate, with earlier studies focusing on the cellular level and later studies emphasizing the tissue level. There are different perspectives on the nature of effector cells within the nervous system. Researchers are exploring how these divergent views can be validated through molecular and single-cell data.

Profiling cellular diversity in sponges informs animal cell type and nervous system evolution

Jacob M. Musser et al.

Summary: Through whole-body single-cell RNA sequencing in sponges, researchers identified 18 distinct cell types, including contractile pinacocytes, amoeboid phagocytes, and secretory neuroid cells. These cells interact closely with digestive choanocytes, which express scaffolding and receptor proteins, indicating a communication system organized around sponge digestive chambers. Visualizing neuroid cells revealed secretory vesicles and cellular projections enwrapping choanocyte microvilli and cilia, suggesting the presence of conserved modules that may have evolved into synaptic structures in other animals' nervous systems.

Evolutionary cell type mapping with single-cell genomics

Amos Tanay et al.

Summary: A fundamental characteristic of animal multicellularity is the coexistence of functionally specialized cell types encoded by a single genome, regulated by mechanisms controlling access to genomic information. Single-cell genomics is emerging as a powerful tool to catalog cell types and gene regulatory programs in non-traditional model species. Phylogenetic integration of cell atlases can lead to the development of cell type evolution models and a phylogenetic taxonomy of cells.

Whole-body integration of gene expression and single-cell morphology

Hernando M. Vergara et al.

Summary: Animal bodies are composed of cell types with unique gene expression programs that determine their locations, shapes, structures, and functions, assembling into specific tissues and organs. By registering an expression atlas to an electron microscopy volume, the link between cell-type-specific gene expression and morphology can be systematically explored.
