  text: Eukaryotic gene regulation relies on stochastic yet controlled promoter switching,
    in which genes transition between transcriptionally active and inactive states.
    Despite the molecular complexity of this process, recent studies have revealed
    a surprising invariance of the “switching correlation time” (TC)—the characteristic
    decay time of the autocorrelation function of promoter activity fluctuations—across
    gene expression levels in multiple genes and organisms. A biophysically plausible
    explanation for this invariance has so far been lacking. Here, we show that this
    empirical constraint imposes stringent requirements on minimal yet realistic models
    of transcriptional regulation. Specifically, reproducing TC–invariance requires
    regulatory architectures with at least four internal states and nonequilibrium
    dynamics that break detailed balance. Using Bayesian inference on Drosophila gap
    gene expression data, we demonstrate that such models i) quantitatively reproduce
    the observed TC–invariance, ii) remain robust to parameter perturbations, and
    iii) maximize information transmission from transcription factor concentration
    to gene expression. Remarkably, the TC-invariant modulation strategy we identify
    as optimal closely parallels contemporary control-theoretic results on the modulation
    of stochastic switching systems. Taken together, our results suggest that eukaryotic
    transcriptional regulation operates in a nonequilibrium regime to balance precision,
    reaction-rate limitations, and energy dissipation, thereby achieving near-optimal
    information transmission under fundamental physical constraints.

  text: Sleep need is associated with both circuit dynamics and widespread synaptic
    plasticity, yet the specific synaptic changes underlying sleep homeostasis remain
    incompletely understood. In Drosophila, sleep loss has been shown to trigger plasticity
    of the presynaptic active zone, marked by increasing levels of the ELKS-family
    scaffold protein Bruchpilot (BRP). By titrating brp gene copy number, we previously
    established a presynapse-specific, dosage-dependent paradigm that modulates sleep
    pressure. Here, to elucidate the molecular landscape of this plasticity, we performed
    synapse-enriched integrated-omics. Proteomic and bioinformatic analyses revealed
    changes in immune and stress response pathways and local translation control.
    Strikingly, phospho-proteomic analysis uncovered a global shift toward hypophosphorylation,
    particularly in presynaptic proteins, indicating a reprogramming of the phosphorylation–dephosphorylation
    balance. This presynaptic hypophosphorylation is likely contributed by reduced
    activity of Protein Kinase A (PKA) and enhanced substrate affinity of Protein
    Phosphatase 1 (PP1) mediated by its regulatory subunit Spinophilin (Spn). Manipulating
    either PKA or PP1 activity was sufficient to suppress BRP-modulated sleep phenotypes.
    We propose that presynaptic hypophosphorylation constitutes a molecular signature
    of local synaptic remodeling that adaptively tunes sleep need via reversible posttranslational
    modification, a mechanism likely conserved across species.

  text: Many biological systems operate near the physical limits to their performance,
    suggesting that aspects of their behavior and underlying mechanisms could be derived
    from optimization principles. However, such principles have often been applied
    only in simplified models. Here, we explore a detailed mechanistic model of the
    gap gene network in the Drosophila embryo, optimizing its 50+ parameters to maximize
    the information that gene expression levels provide about nuclear positions. This
    optimization is conducted under realistic constraints, such as limits on the number
    of available molecules. Remarkably, the optimal networks we derive closely match
    the architecture and spatial gene expression profiles observed in the real organism.
    Our framework quantifies the tradeoffs involved in maximizing functional performance
    and allows for the exploration of alternative network configurations, addressing
    the question of which features are necessary and which are contingent. Our results
    suggest that multiple solutions to the optimization problem might exist across
    closely related organisms, offering insights into the evolution of gene regulatory
    networks.

  text: 'Biophysical constraints limit the specificity with which transcription factors
    (TFs) can target regulatory DNA. While individual nontarget binding events may
    be low affinity, the sheer number of such interactions could present a challenge
    for gene regulation by degrading its precision or possibly leading to an erroneous
    induction state. Chromatin can prevent nontarget binding by rendering DNA physically
    inaccessible to TFs, at the cost of energy-consuming remodeling orchestrated by
    pioneer factors (PFs). Under what conditions and by how much can chromatin reduce
    regulatory errors on a global scale? We use a theoretical approach to compare
    two scenarios for gene regulation: one that relies on TF binding to free DNA alone
    and one that uses a combination of TFs and chromatin-regulating PFs to achieve
    desired gene expression patterns. We find, first, that chromatin effectively silences
    groups of genes that should be simultaneously OFF, thereby allowing more accurate
    graded control of expression for the remaining ON genes. Second, chromatin buffers
    the deleterious consequences of nontarget binding as the number of OFF genes grows,
    permitting a substantial expansion in regulatory complexity. Third, chromatin-based
    regulation productively co-opts nontarget TF binding for ON genes in order to
    establish a “leaky” baseline expression level, which targeted activator or repressor
    binding subsequently up- or down-modulates. Thus, on a global scale, using chromatin
    simultaneously alleviates pressure for high specificity of regulatory interactions
    and enables an increase in genome size with minimal impact on global expression
    error.'

  text: Neuronal processing of external sensory input is shaped by internally generated
    top–down information. In the neocortex, top–down projections primarily target
    layer 1, which contains NDNF (neuron-derived neurotrophic factor)-expressing interneurons
    and the dendrites of pyramidal cells. Here, we investigate the hypothesis that
    NDNF interneurons shape cortical computations in an unconventional, layer-specific
    way, by exerting presynaptic inhibition on synapses in layer 1 while leaving synapses
    in deeper layers unaffected. We first confirm experimentally that in the auditory
    cortex, synapses from somatostatin-expressing (SOM) onto NDNF neurons are indeed
    modulated by ambient Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Shifting to a computational
    model, we then show that this mechanism introduces a distinct mutual inhibition
    motif between NDNF interneurons and the synaptic outputs of SOM interneurons.
    This motif can control inhibition in a layer-specific way and introduces competition
    between NDNF and SOM interneurons for dendritic inhibition onto pyramidal cells
    on different timescales. NDNF interneurons can thereby control cortical information
    flow by redistributing dendritic inhibition from fast to slow timescales and by
    gating different sources of dendritic inhibition.

  text: A key feature of biological and artificial neural networks is the progressive
    refinement of their neural representations with experience. In neuroscience, this
    fact has inspired several recent studies in sensory and motor systems. However,
    less is known about how higher associational cortical areas, such as the hippocampus,
    modify representations throughout the learning of complex tasks. Here, we focus
    on associative learning, a process that requires forming a connection between
    the representations of different variables for appropriate behavioral response.
    We trained rats in a space-context associative task and monitored hippocampal
    neural activity throughout the entire learning period, over several days. This
    allowed us to assess changes in the representations of context, movement direction,
    and position, as well as their relationship to behavior. We identified a hierarchical
    representational structure in the encoding of these three task variables that
    was preserved throughout learning. Nevertheless, we also observed changes at the
    lower levels of the hierarchy where context was encoded. These changes were local
    in neural activity space and restricted to physical positions where context identification
    was necessary for correct decision-making, supporting better context decoding
    and contextual code compression. Our results demonstrate that the hippocampal
    code not only accommodates hierarchical relationships between different variables
    but also enables efficient learning through minimal changes in neural activity
    space. Beyond the hippocampus, our work reveals a representation learning mechanism
    that might be implemented in other biological and artificial networks performing
    similar tasks.

  text: Quantum hardware is inherently fragile and noisy. We find that the accuracy
    of traditional quantum error correction algorithms can be improved depending on
    the hardware. Given different hardware specifications, we automatically synthesize
    hardware-optimal algorithms for parity correction, qubit resetting, and GHZ (Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger)
    state preparation. Using stochastic techniques from computer science, our method
    presents a computational tool to compute exact accuracy guarantees and synthesize
    optimal algorithms that are often different from traditional ones. We also show
    that improvements can be gained with respect to the Qiskit transpiler as we compute
    the hardware-optimal qubit mapping for the GHZ state-preparation problem.
acknowledgement: We thank the reviewers. In particular, they inspired us to analyze
  the reset and state-preparation problems, to compute optimal qubit mappings, and
  to apply our method to a quantum error correction scheme that includes both bitflip
  and phaseflip corrections. We also thank Raimundo Saona and Marek Chalupa for their
  time spent in insightful discussions. This research was partially supported by the
  European Research Council CoG 863818 (ForM-SMArt) grant.

  text: Active regulation of gene expression, orchestrated by complex interactions
    of activators and repressors at promoters, controls the fate of organisms. In
    contrast, basal expression at uninduced promoters is considered to be a dynamically
    inert mode of nonfunctional “promoter leakiness,” merely a byproduct of transcriptional
    regulation. Here, we investigate the basal expression mode of the mar operon,
    the main regulator of intrinsic multiple antibiotic resistance in Escherichia
    coli, and link its dynamic properties to the noncanonical, yet highly conserved
    start codon of marR across Enterobacteriaceae. Real-time, single-cell measurements
    across tens of generations reveal that basal expression consists of rare stochastic
    gene expression pulses, which maximize variability in wildtype and, surprisingly,
    transiently accelerate cellular elongation rates. Competition experiments show
    that basal expression confers fitness advantages to wildtype across several transitions
    between exponential and stationary growth by shortening lag times. The dynamically
    rich basal expression of the mar operon has likely been evolutionarily maintained
    for its role in growth homeostasis of Enterobacteria within the gut environment,
    thereby allowing other ancillary gene regulatory roles to evolve, e.g., control
    of costly-to-induce multidrug efflux pumps. Understanding the complex selection
    forces governing genetic systems involved in intrinsic multidrug resistance is
    crucial for effective public health measures.

  text: Multiagent learning is challenging when agents face mixed-motivation interactions,
    where conflicts of interest arise as agents independently try to optimize their
    respective outcomes. Recent advancements in evolutionary game theory have identified
    a class of “zero-determinant” strategies, which confer an agent with significant
    unilateral control over outcomes in repeated games. Building on these insights,
    we present a comprehensive generalization of zero-determinant strategies to stochastic
    games, encompassing dynamic environments. We propose an algorithm that allows
    an agent to discover strategies enforcing predetermined linear (or approximately
    linear) payoff relationships. Of particular interest is the relationship in which
    both payoffs are equal, which serves as a proxy for fairness in symmetric games.
    We demonstrate that an agent can discover strategies enforcing such relationships
    through experience alone, without coordinating with an opponent. In finding and
    using such a strategy, an agent (“enforcer”) can incentivize optimal and equitable
    outcomes, circumventing potential exploitation. In particular, from the opponent’s
    viewpoint, the enforcer transforms a mixed-motivation problem into a cooperative
    problem, paving the way for more collaboration and fairness in multiagent systems.

  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: Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to adapt to environmental changes,
    with root gravitropism playing a pivotal role in nutrient and water acquisition.
    Our study reveals that SnRK2 kinases (SnRK2.2 and SnRK2.3) are critical regulators
    of root gravitropism through their direct phosphorylation of the auxin transporter
    PIN2 at S259. We demonstrate that SnRK2s-mediated phosphorylation modulates both
    the polar localization and transport activity of PIN2. Importantly, SnRK2s function
    antagonistically to the AGCVIII kinase PID, which phosphorylates PIN2 at a distinct
    site (S258), establishing a regulatory balance essential for adaptive root growth.
    Structural modeling and phosphorylation assays further suggest that SnRK2s-mediated
    phosphorylation at S259 sterically hinders access of PID to S258, providing a
    mechanistic basis for their antagonistic relationship. These findings uncover
    a novel regulatory mechanism, by which plants fine-tune root developmental programs
    to adapt to environmental stimuli, highlighting the evolutionary significance
    of multilayered kinase-mediated regulation in plant adaptation.

  text: The tropical climate variability is characterized by various oscillations
    across a range of timescales. Oscillations that imprint the tropical mean state
    are generally attributed to slow processes, such as the seasonal cycle or interannual
    variability. Here, we identify a pronounced tropics-wide intraseasonal oscillation
    (TWISO) in satellite observations and reanalyses. This oscillation, with a period
    of 30 to 60 d, is evident across multiple variables and involves interactions
    between convection, radiation, surface fluxes, and large-scale circulation. It
    is primarily manifested as convective perturbations in the tropical Indo-Pacific
    warm pool accompanied by oscillations in the large-scale tropical overturning
    circulation. Here, we examine the relationship between TWISO, the Madden–Julian
    Oscillation (MJO), and the instability of radiative-convective equilibrium. Certain
    phases of TWISO coincide with specific phases of the MJO, suggesting a potential
    connection between the two. However, although the MJO can amplify the oscillation
    amplitude of TWISO, it is not essential for TWISO to occur. Finally, due to its
    broad manifestation across the tropics, TWISO potentially exerts widespread influence
    on tropical weather and climate at regional scales.

  text: Differentially private gradient descent (DP-GD) is a popular algorithm to
    train deep learning models with provable guarantees on the privacy of the training
    data. In the last decade, the problem of understanding its performance cost with
    respect to standard GD has received remarkable attention from the research community,
    which formally derived upper bounds on the excess population risk  RP  in different
    learning settings. However, existing bounds typically degrade with over-parameterization,
    i.e., as the number of parameters  p  gets larger than the number of training
    samples  n  -- a regime which is ubiquitous in current deep-learning practice.
    As a result, the lack of theoretical insights leaves practitioners without clear
    guidance, leading some to reduce the effective number of trainable parameters
    to improve performance, while others use larger models to achieve better results
    through scale. In this work, we show that in the popular random features model
    with quadratic loss, for any sufficiently large  p , privacy can be obtained for
    free, i.e.,  |RP|=o(1) , not only when the privacy parameter  ε  has constant
    order, but also in the strongly private setting  ε=o(1) . This challenges the
    common wisdom that over-parameterization inherently hinders performance in private
    learning.

  text: In many physical situations in which many-body assemblies exist at temperature
    T, a characteristic quantum-mechanical time scale of approximately h/kbT can be
    identified in both theory and experiment, leading to speculation that it may be
    the shortest meaningful time in such circumstances. This behavior can be investigated
    by probing the scattering rate of electrons in a broad class of materials often
    referred to as “strongly correlated metals”. It is clear that in some cases only
    electron–electron scattering can be its cause, while in others it arises from
    high-temperature scattering of electrons from quantized lattice vibrations, i.e.,
    phonons. In metallic oxides, which are among the most studied materials, analysis
    of electrical transport does not satisfactorily identify the relevant scattering
    mechanism at “high” temperatures near room temperature. We therefore employ a
    contactless optical method to measure thermal diffusivity in two Ru-based layered
    perovskites, Sr3Ru2O7 and Sr2RuO4, and use the measurements to extract the dimensionless
    Lorenz ratio. By comparing our results to the literature data on both conventional
    and unconventional metals, we show how the analysis of high-temperature thermal
    transport can both give important insight into dominant scattering mechanisms
    and be offered as a stringent test of theories attempting to explain anomalous
    scattering.

  text: Allometric scaling relations are widely used to link biological processes
    to body size in nature. Several studies have shown that such scaling laws hold
    also for natural ecosystems, including individual trees and forests, riverine
    metabolism, and river network organization. However, the derivation of scaling
    laws for catchment-scale water and carbon fluxes has not been achieved so far.
    Here, we focus on scaling relations of catchment green metabolism, defined as
    the set of ecohydrological and biogeochemical processes through which vegetation
    assemblages in catchments maintain their structure and react to the surrounding
    environment. By revising existing plant size–density relationships and integrating
    them across large-scale domains, we show that the ecohydrological fluxes occurring
    at the catchment scale are invariant with respect to the above-ground vegetation
    biomass per unit area of the basin, while they scale linearly with catchment size.
    We thus demonstrate that the sublinear scaling of plant metabolism results in
    an isometric scaling at catchment and regional scales. Deviations from such predictions
    are further shown to collapse onto a common distribution, thus incorporating natural
    fluctuations due to resource limitations into a generalized scaling theory. Results
    from scaling arguments are supported by hyperresolution ecohydrological simulations
    and remote sensing observations.

  text: Water is known to play an important role in collagen self-assembly, but it
    is still largely unclear how water–collagen interactions influence the assembly
    process and determine the fibril network properties. Here, we use the H2O/D2O
    isotope effect on the hydrogen-bond strength in water to investigate the role
    of hydration in collagen self-assembly. We dissolve collagen in H2O and D2O and
    compare the growth kinetics and the structure of the collagen assemblies formed
    in these water isotopomers. Surprisingly, collagen assembly occurs ten times faster
    in D2O than in H2O, and collagen in D2O self-assembles into much thinner fibrils,
    that form a more inhomogeneous and softer network, with a fourfold reduction in
    elastic modulus when compared to H2O. Combining spectroscopic measurements with
    atomistic simulations, we show that collagen in D2O is less hydrated than in H2O.
    This partial dehydration lowers the enthalpic penalty for water removal and reorganization
    at the collagen–water interface, increasing the self-assembly rate and the number
    of nucleation centers, leading to thinner fibrils and a softer network. Coarse-grained
    simulations show that the acceleration in the initial nucleation rate can be reproduced
    by the enhancement of electrostatic interactions. These results show that water
    acts as a mediator between collagen monomers, by modulating their interactions
    so as to optimize the assembly process and, thus, the final network properties.
    We believe that isotopically modulating the hydration of proteins can be a valuable
    method to investigate the role of water in protein structural dynamics and protein
    self-assembly.

  text: Multivesicular endosomes (MVEs) sequester membrane proteins destined for degradation
    within intralumenal vesicles (ILVs), a process mediated by the membrane-remodeling
    action of Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT) proteins. In
    Arabidopsis, endosomal membrane constriction and scission are uncoupled, resulting
    in the formation of extensive concatenated ILV networks and enhancing cargo sequestration
    efficiency. Here, we used a combination of electron tomography, computer simulations,
    and mathematical modeling to address the questions of when concatenated ILV networks
    evolved in plants and what drives their formation. Through morphometric analyses
    of tomographic reconstructions of endosomes across yeast, algae, and various land
    plants, we have found that ILV concatenation is widespread within plant species,
    but only prevalent in seed plants, especially in flowering plants. Multiple budding
    sites that require the formation of pores in the limiting membrane were only identified
    in hornworts and seed plants, suggesting that this mechanism has evolved independently
    in both plant lineages. To identify the conditions under which these multiple
    budding sites can arise, we used particle-based molecular dynamics simulations
    and found that changes in ESCRT filament properties, such as filament curvature
    and membrane binding energy, can generate the membrane shapes observed in multiple
    budding sites. To understand the relationship between membrane budding activity
    and ILV network topology, we performed computational simulations and identified
    a set of membrane remodeling parameters that can recapitulate our tomographic
    datasets.

  text: A key feature of many developmental systems is their ability to self-organize
    spatial patterns of functionally distinct cell fates. To ensure proper biological
    function, such patterns must be established reproducibly, by controlling and even
    harnessing intrinsic and extrinsic fluctuations. While the relevant molecular
    processes are increasingly well understood, we lack a principled framework to
    quantify the performance of such stochastic self-organizing systems. To that end,
    we introduce an information-theoretic measure for self-organized fate specification
    during embryonic development. We show that the proposed measure assesses the total
    information content of fate patterns and decomposes it into interpretable contributions
    corresponding to the positional and correlational information. By optimizing the
    proposed measure, our framework provides a normative theory for developmental
    circuits, which we demonstrate on lateral inhibition, cell type proportioning,
    and reaction–diffusion models of self-organization. This paves a way toward a
    classification of developmental systems based on a common information-theoretic
    language, thereby organizing the zoo of implicated chemical and mechanical signaling
    processes.

  text: 'Direct reciprocity is a powerful mechanism for cooperation in social dilemmas.
    The very logic of reciprocity, however, seems to require that individuals are
    symmetric, and that everyone has the same means to influence each others’ payoffs.
    Yet in many applications, individuals are asymmetric. Herein, we study the effect
    of asymmetry in linear public good games. Individuals may differ in their endowments
    (their ability to contribute to a public good) and in their productivities (how
    effective their contributions are). Given the individuals’ productivities, we
    ask which allocation of endowments is optimal for cooperation. To this end, we
    consider two notions of optimality. The first notion focuses on the resilience
    of cooperation. The respective endowment distribution ensures that full cooperation
    is feasible even under the most adverse conditions. The second notion focuses
    on efficiency. The corresponding endowment distribution maximizes group welfare.
    Using analytical methods, we fully characterize these two endowment distributions.
    This analysis reveals that both optimality notions favor some endowment inequality:
    More productive players ought to get higher endowments. Yet the two notions disagree
    on how unequal endowments are supposed to be. A focus on resilience results in
    less inequality. With additional simulations, we show that the optimal endowment
    allocation needs to account for both the resilience and the efficiency of cooperation.'

  text: 'Spatial games provide a simple and elegant mathematical model to study the
    evolution of cooperation in networks. In spatial games, individuals reside in
    vertices, adopt simple strategies, and interact with neighbors to receive a payoff.
    Depending on their own and neighbors’ payoffs, individuals can change their strategy.
    The payoff is determined by the Prisoners’ Dilemma, a classical matrix game, where
    players cooperate or defect. While cooperation is the desired behavior, defection
    provides a higher payoff for a selfish individual. There are many theoretical
    and empirical studies related to the role of the network in the evolution of cooperation.
    However, the fundamental question of whether there exist networks that for low
    initial cooperation rate ensure a high chance of fixation, i.e., cooperation spreads
    across the whole population, has remained elusive for spatial games with strong
    selection. In this work, we answer this fundamental question in the affirmative
    by presenting network structures that ensure high fixation probability for cooperators
    in the strong selection regime. Besides, our structures have many desirable properties:
    (a) they ensure the spread of cooperation even for a low initial density of cooperation
    and high temptation of defection, (b) they have constant degrees, and (c) the
    number of steps, until cooperation spreads, is at most quadratic in the size of
    the network.'
