Post-transcriptional regulation in cranial neural crest cells expands developmental potential

Rachel A. Keuls et al.

Summary: Developmental potential is restricted after germ layer specification, but cranial neural crest cells challenge this by giving rise to both ectodermal and ectomesenchymal lineages. The mechanism behind this cell differentiation is poorly understood. This study demonstrates that cranial neural crest cells have a transient state of increased chromatin accessibility, and the deletion of miR-302 leads to premature specification of the ectomesenchymal lineage.

Pluripotent stem cells: Basic biology or else differentiations aimed at translational research and the role of flow cytometry

Bipasha Bose et al.

Summary: Pluripotent stem cell research has been a game-changer in the modern era, especially with the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells. The expression of marker proteins and the use of flow cytometry are crucial for identifying and sorting pure populations of stem cells. Flow cytometry is also essential for assessing the differentiation of stem cells and sorting out potentially dangerous teratoma-forming cells. Overall, analytical flow cytometry and cell sorting are indispensable tools in pluripotent stem cell research and cell therapy.

Spatiotemporal transcriptomic atlas reveals the dynamic characteristics and key regulators of planarian regeneration

Guanshen Cui et al.

Summary: Cui et al. present a comprehensive three-dimensional spatiotemporal transcriptomic landscape of planarian regeneration, identifying a novel pluripotent neoblast subtype and new spatially specific genes essential to tissue regeneration. Their study sheds light on the coordinated responses and spatial awareness required for planarian regeneration, and provides a powerful tool for deciphering regeneration and identifying homeostasis-related genes.

Establishment of a new method to isolate viable x-ray-sensitive cells from planarian by fluorescence-activated cell sorting

Miyuki Ishida et al.

Summary: In this study, a new method was developed to isolate viable neo-blasts that can proliferate in x-ray-irradiated planarians. The cells were stained and sorted using a simple staining method and showed high purity. This method provides new opportunities for isolating viable neo-blasts and understanding the regeneration process.

SiftCell: A robust framework to detect and isolate cell-containing droplets from single-cell RNA sequence reads

Jingyue Xi et al.

Summary: SiftCell is a suite of software tools that can identify and visualize cell-containing and cell-free droplets, as well as quantify the contribution of ambient RNAs for each droplet. It provides a more comprehensive and accurate way to perform upstream quality control in scRNA-seq than existing methods.

The effect of background noise and its removal on the analysis of single-cell expression data

Philipp Janssen et al.

Summary: In droplet-based single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq experiments, background noise caused by spillage from cell-free ambient RNA or barcode swapping events is characterized. The study finds that background noise levels are variable and directly proportional to the specificity and detectability of marker genes. Multiple evidences suggest that the majority of background molecules originate from ambient RNA. CellBender is identified as the method that provides the most precise estimates of background noise levels and yields the highest improvement for marker gene detection.

Migratory regulation by MTA homologous genes is essential for the uniform distribution of planarian adult pluripotent stem cells

Yuki Sato et al.

Summary: Research on the migration of adult stem cells in vivo is hindered by the complexity of tissue structures and limited accessibility of the cells. In this study, two planarian homologous genes (MTA-A and MTA-B) were identified as being involved in neoblast migration. Knockdown of MTA-A disrupted homeostasis and regeneration, while knockdown of MTA-B inhibited neoblast migration. This study highlights the importance of MTA-A and MTA-B in maintaining tissue homeostasis and regeneration through neoblast migration.

Proliferation maintains the undifferentiated status of stem cells: The role of the planarian cell cycle regulator Cdh1

Yuki Sato et al.

Summary: The relationship between cell cycle exit and differentiation has been widely observed in stem cells and organisms, but the causal relationship is still unclear due to the complex regulation of the cell cycle. In this study, the planarian Dugesia japonica was used to investigate this relationship, and it was found that the cell cycle regulator Cdh1 plays a role in cell cycle exit and differentiation in this organism.

Identification of putative enhancer-like elements predicts regulatory networks active in planarian adult stem cells

Jakke Neiro et al.

Summary: By integrating epigenetic and expression data, we predicted enhancer elements active in adult stem cells that are responsible for regeneration. These enhancers are enriched with binding sites for transcription factors expressed in adult stem cells, and footprinting analysis supported their occupancy in these cells. Our study contributes to understanding the regulatory mechanisms of stem cells and the process of regeneration.

Heterologous reporter expression in the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea through somatic mRNA transfection

Richard Nelson Hall et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the ectopic expression of non-native proteins in planarian cells and live animals using a luminescent reporter, overcoming the strong auto-fluorescence of planarian tissues. The expression of heterologous proteins is improved by modifying untranslated region (UTR) sequences and codon bias, allowing for the measurement of expression kinetics in both isolated cells and whole planarians. This research expands the toolbox for studying planarian biology and lays a foundation for the development and expansion of transgenic techniques in this unique model system.

Mitochondrial state determines functionally divergent stem cell population in planaria

Mohamed Mohamed Haroon et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that planarian pluripotent stem cells have low mitochondrial mass, which is a hallmark feature, and provides a mechanism to isolate live, functionally active PSCs from different cell cycle stages (G0/G1 and S, G2/M). Mitochondrial metabolism changes, characteristic of PSCs, are conserved in planaria and play a key role in organismal regeneration.
