Pseudotime estimation: deconfounding single cell time series
MOTIVATION Repeated cross-sectional time series single cell data confound several sources of variation, with contributions from measurement noise, stochastic cell-to-cell variation and cell progression at different rates. Time series from single cell assays are particularly susceptible to confounding as the measurements are not averaged over populations of cells. When several genes are assayed ...
متن کاملSlingshot: Cell lineage and pseudotime inference for single-cell transcriptomics
Single-cell transcriptomics allows researchers to investigate complex communities of heterogeneous cells. These methods can be applied to stem cells and their descendants in order to chart the progression from multipotent progenitors to fully differentiated cells. While a number of statistical and computational methods have been proposed for analyzing cell lineages, the problem of accurately ch...
متن کاملGenetic determinants of pancreatic q-cell development
Recently, the expression of the peptide hormone ghrelin was detected in a-cells of the islets of Langerhans as well as in q-cells, a newly discovered endocrine cell type, but it remains unclear how the latter is related in lineage to the four classical islet cell types, a-, h-, y-, and PPcells. Here, we provide further evidence that ghrelin is predominantly produced in the a-cells of mouse isle...
متن کاملExtracellular Signals and Pancreatic -cell Development: A Brief Review
Cell lineage development is a finely tuned process of proliferation and differentiation, survival and apoptosis, that is regulated by numerous extracellular signals. Here we review some of the extracellular signals— including insoluble cell–cell and extracellular matrix–cell interactions, as well as soluble factors—that appear Address correspondence and reprint requests to: Fang-Xu Jiang, The W...
متن کاملDevelopment of a conditionally immortalized human pancreatic β cell line.
Diabetic patients exhibit a reduction in β cells, which secrete insulin to help regulate glucose homeostasis; however, little is known about the factors that regulate proliferation of these cells in human pancreas. Access to primary human β cells is limited and a challenge for both functional studies and drug discovery progress. We previously reported the generation of a human β cell line (Endo...
