Show abstract
Regulated cell death is integral to sculpting the developing brain, yet the relative contributions of extrinsic apoptosis and necroptosis remain unclear. Here, we leverage single-cell mass cytometry (CyTOF) to characterize the cellular landscape of the mouse telencephalon in wild-type (WT), RIPK3 knockout (RIPK3 KO), and RIPK3/Caspase-8 double knockout (DKO) mice. Strikingly, combined deletion of RIPK3 and Caspase-8 leads to a 12.6% increase in total cell count, challenging the prevailing notion that intrinsic apoptosis exclusively governs developmental cell elimination. Detailed subpopulation analysis reveals that DKO mice display selective enrichment of Tbr2 intermediate progenitors and endothelial cells, underscoring distinct, cell type-specific roles for extrinsic apoptotic and necroptotic pathways. These findings provide a revised framework for understanding the coordinated regulation of cell number during telencephalic development and suggest potential mechanistic links to neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by aberrant cell death.

"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.
