  text: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease
    worldwide. AD is a highly complex disease with different subtypes. Many elements
    of AD pathophysiology have been described, but if/how they interact with each
    other or which mechanisms are important in which patients is still unclear. Langerhans
    cells (LCs) are antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in the epidermis. Depending on
    the context, they can act either pro- or anti-inflammatory. Many different studies
    have investigated LCs in the context of AD and found them to be connected to all
    major mechanisms of AD pathophysiology. As APCs, LCs recruit other immune cells
    and shape the immune response, especially adaptive immunity via polarization of
    T cells. As sentinel cells, LCs are primary sensors of the skin microbiome and
    are important for the decision of immunity versus tolerance. LCs are also involved
    with the integrity of the skin barrier by influencing tight junctions. Finally,
    LCs are important cells in the neuro-immune crosstalk in the skin. In this review,
    we provide an overview about the many different roles of LCs in AD. Understanding
    LCs might bring us closer to a more complete understanding of this highly complex
    disease. Potentially, modulating LCs might offer new options for targeted therapies
    for AD patients.

  text: Efficient immune responses rely on the capacity of leukocytes to traverse
    diverse and complex tissues. To meet such changing environmental conditions, leukocytes
    usually adopt an ameboid configuration, using their forward-positioned nucleus
    as a probe to identify and follow the path of least resistance among pre-existing
    pores. We show that, in dense environments where even the largest pores preclude
    free passage, leukocytes position their nucleus behind the centrosome and organelles.
    The local compression imposed on the cell body by its surroundings triggers assembly
    of a central F-actin pool, located between cell front and nucleus. Central actin
    pushes outward to transiently dilate a path for organelles and nucleus. Pools
    of central and front actin are tightly coupled and experimental depletion of the
    central pool enhances actin accumulation and protrusion formation at the cell
    front. Although this shifted balance speeds up cells in permissive environments,
    migration in restrictive environments is impaired, as the unleashed leading edge
    dissociates from the trapped cell body. Our findings establish an actin regulatory
    loop that balances path dilation with advancement of the leading edge to maintain
    cellular coherence.

  text: "Immune responses depend on the coordinated and efficient migration of leukocytes.
    These\r\ncells, which are embedded and tightly confined within tissues, must navigate
    and traverse\r\ndiverse and complex three-dimensional environments. Leukocytes
    adapt their locomotory\r\nbehavior to the mechanical, geometrical, and biochemical
    characteristics of their\r\nsurroundings. In low-density environments, where the
    pore size of the interstitial matrix\r\nallows free passage, these cells position
    the nucleus directly behind the lamellipodium, the\r\nprotrusive actin structure
    that forms the leading front of the cell. In this configuration, they\r\nuse the
    nucleus as a gauge to identify the path of least resistance.\r\nHere, we show
    that in high-density environments, where the pore size precludes free passage\r\nof
    the cell body, leukocytes reposition the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC)
    and\r\nassociated organelles in front of the nucleus. In this configuration, they
    use actin structures\r\nprotruding orthogonally to the direction of migration
    in order to open a path for the cell body.\r\nWe identify two distinct actin populations
    that serve this purpose at different subcellular\r\nlocalizations. At the leading
    edge, local indentation of the plasma membrane leads to\r\nrecruitment of the
    Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp), which, via Arp2/3, results in\r\nthe
    formation of individual actin foci. At the cell body, actin polymerization is
    triggered by\r\nDOCK8, a Cdc42 exchange factor, resulting in the formation of
    a central actin pool.\r\nWe demonstrate that the central and peripheral actin
    pools are functionally communicating\r\nand that depletion of the central actin
    pool leads to increased actin accumulation at the cell\r\nfront, resulting in
    excessive extension of the leading edge."

  text: Cell and tissue movement in development, cancer invasion, and immune response
    relies on chemical or mechanical guidance cues. In many systems, this behavior
    is locally directed by self-generated signaling gradients rather than long-range,
    prepatterned cues. However, how heterogeneous mixtures of cells interact nonreciprocally
    and navigate through self-generated gradients remains largely unexplored. Here,
    we introduce a theoretical framework for the self-organized chemotaxis of heterogeneous
    cell populations. We find that the relative chemotactic sensitivities of different
    cell populations control their long-time coupling and comigration dynamics, with
    boundary conditions such as external cell and attractant reservoirs substantially
    influencing the migration patterns. Our model predicts an optimal parameter regime
    that enables robust and colocalized migration. We test our theoretical predictions
    with in vitro experiments demonstrating the comigration of distinct immune cell
    populations, and quantitatively reproduce observed migration patterns under wild-type
    and perturbed conditions. Interestingly, immune cell comigration occurs close
    to the predicted optimal regime. Finally, we incorporate mechanical interactions
    into our framework, revealing a nontrivial interplay between chemotactic and mechanical
    nonreciprocity in driving collective migration. Together, our findings suggest
    that self-generated chemotaxis is a robust strategy for the navigation of mixed
    cell populations.

  text: While tumor malignancy has been extensively studied under the prism of genetic
    and epigenetic heterogeneity, tumor cell states also critically depend on reciprocal
    interactions with the microenvironment. This raises the hitherto untested possibility
    that heterogeneity of the untransformed tumor stroma can actively fuel malignant
    progression. As biological heterogeneity is inherently difficult to control, we
    adopted a reductionist approach and let tumor cells invade micro-engineered environments
    harboring obstacles with precision-controlled geometry. We find that not only
    the presence of obstacles, but more surprisingly their spatial disorder, causes
    a drastic shift from a collective to a single-cell mode of invasion – comparable
    in strength to cadherin loss. Combining live-imaging and perturbation experiments
    with minimal biophysical modeling, we demonstrate that cell detachments result
    both from local geometrical constraints and a global integration of spatial disorder
    over time. We show that different types of microenvironments map onto different
    universality classes of invasion dynamics - homogeneous substrates follow Kardar–Parisi–Zhang
    (KPZ) scaling, while disordered ones exhibit exponents consistent with KPZ with
    quenched disorder (KPZq). Our findings highlight generic physical principles for
    how the mode of cancer cell invasion depends on environmental heterogeneity, with
    potential implications to understand tumor evolution in vivo.

  text: "Cell migration is a crucial process in animal development and maintenance.
    It is incredibly\r\nheterogeneous, with different cell types utilizing fundamentally
    distinct migration strategies.\r\nThe strategies also depend on the cellular microenvironment,
    where cells can switch between\r\nmigration modes as they encounter new environmental
    cues. In this thesis, we investigated\r\nhow dendritic cells adapt their migration
    strategy when encountering geometrically,\r\nmechanically and chemically distinct
    environments.\r\nWhen dendritic cells are embedded in a homogeneous fibrous network,
    they migrate in a fast\r\nand directional amoeboid manner. In this migration strategy,
    extracellular proteolysis and\r\nintegrin-mediated adhesions are dispensable.
    Instead, the cells use topography of the\r\nenvironment to propel their cell body
    forward. To migrate efficiently in the maze of different\r\npore sizes, they position
    the nucleus ahead of the microtubule organizing center (MTOC) and\r\nuse it to
    gauge the pores to identify the path of least resistance. Our aim was to identify\r\nwhether
    dendritic cells adapt their migration strategy when encountering asymmetrical\r\ntransitions
    into much denser environments with limited choice of large pores. In such invasive\r\ntransitions
    it is unclear if the cells can cross tight pores without the use of adhesions
    and\r\nextracellular proteolysis and whether they maintain the nucleus in the
    cell front.\r\nUsing various cell migration assays such as fibrous 3D collagen
    gels, geometrically defined\r\nmicrochannels with constrictions and simplistic
    under agarose migration assay, we provide\r\na comprehensive characterization
    of invasive migration of dendritic cells. We show that\r\nduring invasion the
    cells stall and stretch, reflecting the difficulty to translocate the bulky cell\r\nbody
    into the dense environment. In collagen gels, we show that dendritic cells can
    invade\r\nwithout proteolysis and adhesions. Instead, they utilize contractility,
    which can lead to largescale collagen compressions. During invasion, the nucleus
    stalls at tight constrictions, leading\r\nto a transient organelle reorientation.
    To resolve the stalling, upregulated rear contractility is\r\nrequired. This contractile
    force is simultaneously necessary for reverting the nucleus back to\r\nthe cell
    front after invasion and maintaining this positioning during permissive migration.\r\nA
    functional role of the reorientation was uncovered in the first collaboration
    project.\r\nA prominent central actin pool was identified around the MTOC, especially
    pronounced in\r\ndense and compressive environments. The actin pool was shown
    to generate pushing forces\r\nto dilate the space for cell translocation. These
    forces are only necessary in non-permissive\r\nenvironments, where the nucleus
    reorients to the cell rear, allowing the actin pool to\r\ngenerate space. In permissive
    environments where space generation is dispensable, the\r\nMTOC is located behind
    the nucleus and the actin cloud has reduced intensity, allowing more\r\nactin
    to be incorporated into the lamellipodium, speeding up migration.\r\nIn the second
    collaboration project, we investigated the effects of distinct chemical\r\nenvironments
    on dendritic cell migration. The strikingly persistent migration of these cells\r\nwas
    explained by their ability to modulate and even self-generate chemokine gradients.
    This\r\nallows the cells to migrate faster and more persistent in uniform chemokine
    fields compared\r\nto imposed chemokine gradients. The chemokine receptor CCR7
    was identified as a crucial\r\nplayer in this process, both sensing the signal
    and internalizing the chemokine to create a sink."

  text: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common, deadly disease with an increasing
    incidence despite preventive efforts. Clinical observations have associated elevated
    antibody concentrations or antibody-based therapies with thrombotic events. However,
    how antibodies contribute to thrombosis is unknown. Here, we show that reduced
    blood flow enabled immunoglobulin M (IgM) to bind to FcμR and the polymeric immunoglobulin
    receptor (pIgR), initiating endothelial activation and platelet recruitment. Subsequently,
    the procoagulant surface of activated platelets accommodated antigen- and FcγR-independent
    IgG deposition. This leads to classical complement activation, setting in motion
    a prothrombotic vicious circle. Key elements of this mechanism were present in
    humans in the setting of venous stasis as well as in the dysregulated immunothrombosis
    of COVID-19. This antibody-driven thrombosis can be prevented by pharmacologically
    targeting complement. Hence, our results uncover antibodies as previously unrecognized
    central regulators of thrombosis. These findings carry relevance for therapeutic
    application of antibodies and open innovative avenues to target thrombosis without
    compromising hemostasis.

  text: Contraction and flow of the actin cell cortex have emerged as a common principle
    by which cells reorganize their cytoplasm and take shape. However, how these cortical
    flows interact with adjacent cytoplasmic components, changing their form and localization,
    and how this affects cytoplasmic organization and cell shape remains unclear.
    Here we show that in ascidian oocytes, the cooperative activities of cortical
    actomyosin flows and deformation of the adjacent mitochondria-rich myoplasm drive
    oocyte cytoplasmic reorganization and shape changes following fertilization. We
    show that vegetal-directed cortical actomyosin flows, established upon oocyte
    fertilization, lead to both the accumulation of cortical actin at the vegetal
    pole of the zygote and compression and local buckling of the adjacent elastic
    solid-like myoplasm layer due to friction forces generated at their interface.
    Once cortical flows have ceased, the multiple myoplasm buckles resolve into one
    larger buckle, which again drives the formation of the contraction pole—a protuberance
    of the zygote’s vegetal pole where maternal mRNAs accumulate. Thus, our findings
    reveal a mechanism where cortical actomyosin network flows determine cytoplasmic
    reorganization and cell shape by deforming adjacent cytoplasmic components through
    friction forces.

  text: Centrioles are part of centrosomes and cilia, which are microtubule organising
    centres (MTOC) with diverse functions. Despite their stability, centrioles can
    disappear during differentiation, such as in oocytes, but little is known about
    the regulation of their structural integrity. Our previous research revealed that
    the pericentriolar material (PCM) that surrounds centrioles and its recruiter,
    Polo kinase, are downregulated in oogenesis and sufficient for maintaining both
    centrosome structural integrity and MTOC activity. We now show that the expression
    of specific components of the centriole cartwheel and wall, including ANA1/CEP295,
    is essential for maintaining centrosome integrity. We find that Polo kinase requires
    ANA1 to promote centriole stability in cultured cells and eggs. In addition, ANA1
    expression prevents the loss of centrioles observed upon PCM-downregulation. However,
    the centrioles maintained by overexpressing and tethering ANA1 are inactive, unlike
    the MTOCs observed upon tethering Polo kinase. These findings demonstrate that
    several centriole components are needed to maintain centrosome structure. Our
    study also highlights that centrioles are more dynamic than previously believed,
    with their structural stability relying on the continuous expression of multiple
    components.

  text: The extracellular matrix (ECM) serves as a scaffold for cells and plays an
    essential role in regulating numerous cellular processes, including cell migration
    and proliferation. Due to limitations in specimen preparation for conventional
    room-temperature electron microscopy, we lack structural knowledge on how ECM
    components are secreted, remodeled, and interact with surrounding cells. We have
    developed a 3D-ECM platform compatible with sample thinning by cryo-focused ion
    beam milling, the lift-out extraction procedure, and cryo-electron tomography.
    Our workflow implements cell-derived matrices (CDMs) grown on EM grids, resulting
    in a versatile tool closely mimicking ECM environments. This allows us to visualize
    ECM for the first time in its hydrated, native context. Our data reveal an intricate
    network of extracellular fibers, their positioning relative to matrix-secreting
    cells, and previously unresolved structural entities. Our workflow and results
    add to the structural atlas of the ECM, providing novel insights into its secretion
    and assembly.

  text: "Background: IgE-mediated degranulation of mast cells (MCs) provides rapid
    protection against environmental hazards, including animal venoms. A fraction
    of tissue-resident MCs intimately associates with blood vessels. These perivascular
    MCs were reported to extend projections into the vessel lumen and to be the first
    MCs to acquire intravenously injected IgE, suggesting that IgE loading of MCs
    depends on their vascular association.\r\nObjective: We sought to elucidate the
    molecular basis of the MC–blood vessel interaction and to determine its relevance
    for IgE-mediated immune responses.\r\nMethods: We selectively inactivated the
    Itgb1 gene, encoding the β1 chain of integrin adhesion molecules (ITGB1), in MCs
    by conditional gene targeting in mice. We analyzed skin MCs for blood vessel association,
    surface IgE density, and capability to bind circulating antibody specific for
    MC surface molecules, as well as in vivo responses to antigen administered via
    different routes.\r\nResults: Lack of ITGB1 expression severely compromised MC–blood
    vessel association. ITGB1-deficient MCs showed normal densities of surface IgE
    but reduced binding of intravenously injected antibodies. While their capacity
    to degranulate in response to IgE ligation in vivo was unimpaired, anaphylactic
    responses to antigen circulating in the vasculature were largely abolished.\r\nConclusions:
    ITGB1-mediated association of MCs with blood vessels is key for MC immune surveillance
    of blood vessel content, but is dispensable for slow steady-state loading of endogenous
    IgE onto tissue-resident MCs."

  text: CRISPR-Cas9 technology has become an essential tool for plant genome editing.
    Recent advancements have significantly improved the ability to target multiple
    genes simultaneously within the same genetic background through various strategies.
    Additionally, there has been significant progress in developing methods for inducible
    or tissue-specific editing. These advancements offer numerous possibilities for
    tailored genome modifications. Building upon existing research, we have developed
    an optimized and modular strategy allowing the targeting of several genes simultaneously
    in combination with the synchronized expression of the Cas9 endonuclease in the
    egg cell. This system allows significant editing efficiency while avoiding mosaicism.
    In addition, the versatile system we propose allows adaptation to inducible and/or
    tissue-specific edition according to the promoter chosen to drive the expression
    of the Cas9 gene. Here, we describe a step-by-step protocol for generating the
    binary vector necessary for establishing Arabidopsis edited lines using a versatile
    cloning strategy that combines Gateway® and Golden Gate technologies. We describe
    a versatile system that allows the cloning of as many guides as needed to target
    DNA, which can be multiplexed into a polycistronic gene and combined in the same
    construct with sequences for the expression of the Cas9 endonuclease. The expression
    of Cas9 is controlled by selecting from among a collection of promoters, including
    constitutive, inducible, ubiquitous, or tissue-specific promoters. Only one vector
    containing the polycistronic gene (tRNA-sgRNA) needs to be constructed. For that,
    sgRNA (composed of protospacers chosen to target the gene of interest and sgRNA
    scaffold) is cloned in tandem with the pre-tRNA sequence. Then, a single recombination
    reaction is required to assemble the promoter, the zCas9 coding sequence, and
    the tRNA-gRNA polycistronic gene. Each element is cloned in an entry vector and
    finally assembled according to the Multisite Gateway® Technology. Here, we detail
    the process to express zCas9 under the control of egg cell promoter fused to enhancer
    sequence (EC1.2en-EC1.1p) and to simultaneously target two multiple C2 domains
    and transmembrane region protein genes (MCTP3 and MCTP4, respectively at3g57880
    and at1g51570), using one or two sgRNA per gene.

  text: Platelet homeostasis is essential for vascular integrity and immune defence1,2.
    Although the process of platelet formation by fragmenting megakaryocytes (MKs;
    thrombopoiesis) has been extensively studied, the cellular and molecular mechanisms
    required to constantly replenish the pool of MKs by their progenitor cells (megakaryopoiesis)
    remains unclear3,4. Here we use intravital imaging to track the cellular dynamics
    of megakaryopoiesis over days. We identify plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs)
    as homeostatic sensors that monitor the bone marrow for apoptotic MKs and deliver
    IFNα to the MK niche triggering local on-demand proliferation and maturation of
    MK progenitors. This pDC-dependent feedback loop is crucial for MK and platelet
    homeostasis at steady state and under stress. pDCs are best known for their ability
    to function as vigilant detectors of viral infection5. We show that virus-induced
    activation of pDCs interferes with their function as homeostatic sensors of megakaryopoiesis.
    Consequently, activation of pDCs by SARS-CoV-2 leads to excessive megakaryopoiesis.
    Together, we identify a pDC-dependent homeostatic circuit that involves innate
    immune sensing and demand-adapted release of inflammatory mediators to maintain
    homeostasis of the megakaryocytic lineage.

  text: Whether one considers swarming insects, flocking birds, or bacterial colonies,
    collective motion arises from the coordination of individuals and entails the
    adjustment of their respective velocities. In particular, in close confinements,
    such as those encountered by dense cell populations during development or regeneration,
    collective migration can only arise coordinately. Yet, how individuals unify their
    velocities is often not understood. Focusing on a finite number of cells in circular
    confinements, we identify waves of polymerizing actin that function as a pacemaker
    governing the speed of individual cells. We show that the onset of collective
    motion coincides with the synchronization of the wave nucleation frequencies across
    the population. Employing a simpler and more readily accessible mechanical model
    system of active spheres, we identify the synchronization of the individuals’
    internal oscillators as one of the essential requirements to reach the corresponding
    collective state. The mechanical ‘toy’ experiment illustrates that the global
    synchronous state is achieved by nearest neighbor coupling. We suggest by analogy
    that local coupling and the synchronization of actin waves are essential for the
    emergent, self-organized motion of cell collectives.

  text: The intricate regulatory processes behind actin polymerization play a crucial
    role in cellular biology, including essential mechanisms such as cell migration
    or cell division. However, the self-organizing principles governing actin polymerization
    are still poorly understood. In this perspective article, we compare the Belousov-Zhabotinsky
    (BZ) reaction, a classic and well understood chemical oscillator known for its
    self-organizing spatiotemporal dynamics, with the excitable dynamics of polymerizing
    actin. While the BZ reaction originates from the domain of inorganic chemistry,
    it shares remarkable similarities with actin polymerization, including the characteristic
    propagating waves, which are influenced by geometry and external fields, and the
    emergent collective behavior. Starting with a general description of emerging
    patterns, we elaborate on single droplets or cell-level dynamics, the influence
    of geometric confinements and conclude with collective interactions. Comparing
    these two systems sheds light on the universal nature of self-organization principles
    in both living and inanimate systems.

  text: Imaging of the immunological synapse (IS) between dendritic cells (DCs) and
    T cells in suspension is hampered by suboptimal alignment of cell-cell contacts
    along the vertical imaging plane. This requires optical sectioning that often
    results in unsatisfactory resolution in time and space. Here, we present a workflow
    where DCs and T cells are confined between a layer of glass and polydimethylsiloxane
    (PDMS) that orients the cells along one, horizontal imaging plane, allowing for
    fast en-face-imaging of the DC-T cell IS.

  text: Regulating protein states is considered the core function of chaperones. However,
    despite their importance to all major cellular processes, the conformational changes
    that chaperones impart on polypeptide chains are difficult to study directly due
    to their heterogeneous, dynamic, and multi-step nature. Here, we review recent
    advances towards this aim using single-molecule manipulation methods, which are
    rapidly revealing new mechanisms of conformational control and helping to define
    a different perspective on the chaperone function.

  text: 'Most motions of many-body systems at any scale in nature with sufficient
    degrees of freedom tend to be chaotic; reaching from the orbital motion of planets,
    the air currents in our atmosphere, down to the water flowing through our pipelines
    or the movement of a population of bacteria. To the observer it is therefore intriguing
    when a moving collective exhibits order. Collective motion of flocks of birds,
    schools of fish or swarms of self-propelled particles or robots have been studied
    extensively over the past decades but the mechanisms involved in the transition
    from chaos to order remain unclear. Here, the interactions, that in most systems
    give rise to chaos, sustain order.  In this thesis we investigate mechanisms that
    preserve, destabilize or lead to the ordered state. We show that endothelial cells
    migrating in circular confinements transition to a collective rotating state and
    concomitantly synchronize the frequencies of nucleating actin waves within individual
    cells. Consequently, the frequency dependent cell migration speed uniformizes
    across the population. Complementary to the WAVE dependent nucleation of traveling
    actin waves, we show that in leukocytes the actin polymerization depending on
    WASp generates pushing forces locally at stationary patches. Next, in pipe flows,
    we study methods to disrupt the self--sustaining cycle of turbulence and therefore
    relaminarize the flow. While we find in pulsating flow conditions that turbulence
    emerges through a helical instability during the decelerating phase. Finally,
    we show quantitatively in brain slices of mice that wild-type control neurons
    can compensate the migratory deficits of a genetically modified neuronal sub--population
    in the developing cortex.  '
