    Researchers developed a new pipeline to track cell migration in human forebrain assembloids (FAs). This method improves data quality and reveals that most migrating cells exhibit directed movement, aiding the study of brain development.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Developmental Biology
    • Stem Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Inhibitory interneurons and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells migrate extensively during forebrain development.
    • Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived forebrain assembloids (FAs) offer an in vitro model to study this migration.
    • Tracking these cells in 3D models is crucial for understanding neural development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a processing pipeline for tracking cell migration in human forebrain assembloids (FAs).
    • To analyze the migratory behavior of key neural cell types within FAs.
    • To provide an open-source resource for cell tracking in 3D stem cell models.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized viral labeling (EYFP, tdTomato) in FAs to track cells via EF1α and SOX10 promoters.

  • Employed spinning disk confocal microscopy for 4D volumetric imaging over 15-17 hours.
  • Developed an end-to-end image processing and manual cell tracking pipeline, including background subtraction and drift correction.

    • Main Results:

    • Image preprocessing significantly enhanced data quality for manual tracking.
    • Trajectory analysis of over 670 labeled cells revealed super-diffusive directed motility in most migrating cells.
    • The developed pipeline successfully characterized migratory cell behavior in FAs.

    Conclusions:

    • The established pipeline is a valuable resource for cell tracking in FAs and similar 3D stem cell platforms.
    • This work provides the first open tracking resource for iPSC-derived FAs.
    • The pipeline can serve as a ground-truth for developing automated cell tracking algorithms in developmental neuroscience.
