Neural lineage tracing, or molecular dissection of lineage-specific brain cell types, is used in many labs to learn how neurons grow and mature. However, these studies depend on the growth and characterization of pure cultures, which takes a long time because of biochemical or fluorescence-based isolation through cell surface markers that overlap. These lineage-specific cells, however, can be efficiently sorted using endogenously expressed, fluorescently labeled marker genes. The labeled cell lines can be used not only to differentiate and purify different types of neurons but also to study the long-term development of neural lineages in two- and three-dimensional development models. In this study, we used an orthogonal Cas protein to generate human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines with genetically labeled fluorescent barcodes for discrete neural lineages. We use these lines to successfully demonstrate spatial and temporal tracing of DCX-positive neuroblasts and immature neuronal cells within 2D neural cultures and 3D cortical organoids derived from human embryonic stem cells. This allowed the purification of endogenously tagged live neural cells from heterogeneous cortical organoids across multiple stages of development.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
