Abstract Mapping holistic cell behaviors sculpting mammalian heart has been a goal, but so far only successes in transparent invertebrates and lower vertebrates. Using a live-imaging system comprising a customized vertical light-sheet microscope equipped with a culture module, a heartbeat-gated imaging strategy, and a digital image processing framework, we realized imaging of developing mouse hearts with uninterrupted cell lineages for up to 1.5 days. Four-dimensional landscapes of cell behaviors revealed a blueprint for ventricle chamber formation in which biased outward migration of outermost cardiomyocytes coupled with cell intercalation and horizontal division. The trabeculae, an inner muscle architecture, was developed through early fate segregation and transmural cell arrangement involving both oriented cell division and directional migration. Thus, live-imaging reconstruction affords a transformative means for deciphering mammalian organogenesis.

From cells to organisms, every living system is three-dimensional (3D), but the performance of fluorescence microscopy has been largely limited when attempting to obtain an overview of systems’ dynamic processes in three dimensions. Recently, advanced light-sheet illumination technologies, allowing drastic improvement in spatial discrimination, volumetric imaging times, and phototoxicity/photobleaching, have been making live imaging to collect precise and reliable 3D information increasingly feasible. In particular, lattice light-sheet microscopy (LLSM), using an ultrathin light-sheet, enables whole-cell 3D live imaging of cellular processes, including mitosis, at unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution for extended periods of time. This technology produces immense and complex data, including a significant amount of information, raising new challenges for big image data analysis and new possibilities for data utilization. Once the data are digitally archived in a computer, the data can be reused for various purposes by anyone at any time. Such an information science approach has the potential to revolutionize the use of bioimage data, and provides an alternative method for cell biology research in a data-driven manner. In this article, we introduce examples of analyzing digital mitotic spindles and discuss future perspectives in cell biology.
