PG - 113843 LID - S2211-1247(24)00171-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.113843 [doi] AB - Whole-body regeneration requires the ability to produce the full repertoire of adult cell types. The planarian Schmidtea mediterranea contains over 125 cell types, which can be regenerated from a stem cell population called neoblasts. Neoblast fate choice can be regulated by the expression of fate-specific transcription factors (FSTFs). How fate choices are made and distributed across neoblasts versus their post-mitotic progeny remains unclear. We used single-cell RNA sequencing to systematically map fate choices made in S/G(2)/M neoblasts and, separately, in their post-mitotic progeny that serve as progenitors for all adult cell types. We defined transcription factor expression signatures associated with all detected fates, identifying numerous new progenitor classes and FSTFs that regulate them. Our work generates an atlas of stem cell fates with associated transcription factor signatures for most cell types in a complete adult organism. CI - Copyright (c) 2024 The Author(s).
