Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) are transcriptionally heterogeneous, yet the relationship between molecular heterogeneities and individual NSC trajectories remains unclear. Here, we link transcriptional identities with cellular features and measures of real time to identify molecular trajectories hidden within transcriptomic space. Among self-renewing NSCs, we resolve single-cell molecular transitions associated with fate asymmetry at division. We also show that individual self-renewing NSCs progressively transition from molecular states of deep to shallow quiescence during prolonged quiescence phases. Together, this work reveals individual NSC trajectories within transcriptomic space during fate decisions and state transitions. In particular, it highlights the existence of a transcriptionally encoded quiescence cycle followed by adult NSCs, independent of lineage progression, that balances division with cell growth to sustain self-renewal over time.

"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.
