Elucidating organismal developmental processes requires a comprehensive understanding of cellular lineages in the spatial, temporal, and molecular domains. In this study, we introduce Zebrahub, a dynamic atlas of zebrafish embryonic development that integrates single-cell sequencing time course data with lineage reconstructions facilitated by light-sheet microscopy. This atlas offers high-resolution and in-depth molecular insights into zebrafish development, achieved through the sequencing of individual embryos across ten developmental stages, complemented by reconstructions of cellular trajectories.

During human embryogenesis, distinct waves of hematopoiesis give rise to various blood cell types, originating from hemogenic endothelial (HE) cells. As HE cells reside in hypoxic conditions in the embryo, we investigated the role of hypoxia in human endothelial to hematopoietic transition and subsequent hematopoiesis. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we describe hypoxia-related transcriptional changes in different HE-derived blood lineages, which reveal that erythroid cells are particularly susceptible to oxidative stress, due to decreased NRF2 activity in hypoxia.

A diverse array of protocols have been established for the directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into a variety of cell types, including blood cells, for modeling development and disease, and for the development of cell-based therapeutics. These protocols recapitulate various signaling requirements essential for the establishment of the hematopoietic systems during embryonic development. However, in many instances, the functional properties of those progenitors, and their relevance to human development, remains unclear.

Hematopoietic stem cells emerge in the embryo from an aortic-derived tissue called the hemogenic endothelium (HE). The HE appears to give birth to cells of different nature and fate but the molecular principles underlying this complexity are largely unknown. Here we show, in the zebrafish embryo, that two cell types emerge from the aortic floor with radically different morphodynamics.

Objective: It has been shown that clonal mutations occur in hematopoietic stem cells with advancing age and increase the risk of death due to atherosclerotic vascular diseases, similarly to myeloproliferative neoplasms. Endothelial cells (ECs) and hematopoietic stem cells develop from common stem cells called hemangioblasts in the early embryonic period. However, the presence of hemangioblasts in the postnatal period is controversial.
