Human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells (hESC-RPE) are studied as potential treatment for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study conducts single-cell transcriptomic profiling of an hESC-RPE differentiation protocol developed for clinical use, demonstrating its ability to produce a pure RPE pool.

We report a comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the embryonic mouse brain between gastrulation and birth. We identified almost eight hundred cellular states that describe a developmental program for the functional elements of the brain and its enclosing membranes.

We describe an imaging-free framework to localize high-throughput readouts within a tissue by cutting the sample into thin strips in a way that allows subsequent image reconstruction. We applied the technique to the brain of the Australian bearded dragon, Pogona vitticeps. Our results reveal the molecular anatomy of the telencephalon of this lizard, providing evidence for a marked regionalization of the reptilian pallium and subpallium.

Here we show that RNA velocity - the time derivative of RNA abundance - can be estimated by distinguishing unspliced and spliced mRNAs in standard single-cell RNA sequencing protocols. RNA velocity is a vector that predicts the future state of individual cells on a timescale of hours.
