Yet, the cellular bases for its origin, development and subsequent maintenance remain poorly understood. Here, we apply large-scale quantitative fate mapping to define the patterns of cell fate behaviour during SG development and maintenance. We show that the SG develops from a defined number of lineage-restricted progenitors that undergo a programme of independent and stochastic cell fate decisions. Following an expansion phase, equipotent progenitors transition into a phase of homeostatic turnover, which is correlated with changes in the mechanical properties of the stroma and spatial restrictions on gland size. Expression of the oncogene KrasG12D results in a release from these constraints and unbridled gland expansion. Quantitative clonal fate analysis reveals that, during this phase, the primary effect of the Kras oncogene is to drive a constant fate bias with little effect on cell division rates. These findings provide insight into the developmental programme of the SG, as well as the mechanisms that drive tumour progression and gland dysfunction.}, author = {Andersen, Marianne Stemann and Hannezo, Edouard B and Ulyanchenko, Svetlana and Estrach, Soline and Antoku, Yasuko and Pisano, Sabrina and Boonekamp, Kim E. and Sendrup, Sarah and Maimets, Martti and Pedersen, Marianne Terndrup and Johansen, Jens V. and Clement, Ditte L. and Feral, Chloe C. and Simons, Benjamin D. and Jensen, Kim B.}, issn = {1465-7392}, journal = {Nature Cell Biology}, number = {8}, pages = {924--932}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, title = {{Tracing the cellular dynamics of sebaceous gland development in normal and perturbed states}}, doi = {10.1038/s41556-019-0362-x}, volume = {21}, year = {2019}, } @inbook{7513, abstract = {Social insects (i.e., ants, termites and the social bees and wasps) protect their colonies from disease using a combination of individual immunity and collectively performed defenses, termed social immunity. The first line of social immune defense is sanitary care, which is performed by colony members to protect their pathogen-exposed nestmates from developing an infection. If sanitary care fails and an infection becomes established, a second line of social immune defense is deployed to stop disease transmission within the colony and to protect the valuable queens, which together with the males are the reproductive individuals of the colony. Insect colonies are separated into these reproductive individuals and the sterile worker force, forming a superorganismal reproductive unit reminiscent of the differentiated germline and soma in a multicellular organism. Ultimately, the social immune response preserves the germline of the superorganism insect colony and increases overall fitness of the colony in case of disease. }, author = {Cremer, Sylvia and Kutzer, Megan}, booktitle = {Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior}, editor = {Choe, Jae}, isbn = {9780128132517}, pages = {747--755}, publisher = {Elsevier}, title = {{Social immunity}}, doi = {10.1016/B978-0-12-809633-8.90721-0}, year = {2019}, } @unpublished{7524, abstract = {We prove a lower bound for the free energy (per unit volume) of the two-dimensional Bose gas in the thermodynamic limit.

Historically, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has provided a powerful system for studying and identifying conserved regulators of BH3-only proteins. In C. elegans, the BH3-only protein egl-1 is expressed during development to cell-autonomously trigger most developmental cell deaths. Here we provide evidence that egl-1 is also transcribed after development in the sensory neuron pair URX without inducing apoptosis. We used genetic screening and epistasis analysis to determine that its transcription is regulated in URX by neuronal activity and/or in parallel by orthologs of Protein Kinase G and the Salt-Inducible Kinase family. Because several BH3-only family proteins are also expressed in the adult nervous system of mammals, we suggest that studying egl-1 expression in URX may shed light on mechanisms that regulate conserved family members in higher organisms.}, author = {Cohn, Jesse and Dwivedi, Vivek and Valperga, Giulio and Zarate, Nicole and de Bono, Mario and Horvitz, H.

The nematode worm C. elegans is a valuable model organism through which to study these mechanisms because of its simple nervous system and its relatively short lifespan. Standard Aβ-based C. elegans models of Alzheimer’s disease are designed to study the toxic effects of the overexpression of Aβ in the muscle or nervous systems. However, the wide variety of effects associated with the tissue-level overexpression of Aβ makes it difficult to single out and study specific cellular mechanisms related to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Here, to better understand how to investigate the early events affecting neuronal signalling, we created a C. elegans model expressing Aβ42, the 42-residue form of Aβ, from a single-copy gene insertion in just one pair of glutamatergic sensory neurons, the BAG neurons. In behavioural assays, we found that the Aβ42-expressing animals displayed a subtle modulation of the response to CO2, compared to controls. Ca2+ imaging revealed that the BAG neurons in young Aβ42-expressing nematodes were activated more strongly than in control animals, and that neuronal activation remained intact until old age. Taken together, our results suggest that Aβ42-expression in this very subtle model of AD is sufficient to modulate the behavioural response but not strong enough to generate significant neurotoxicity, suggesting that slightly more aggressive perturbations will enable effectively studies of the links between the modulation of a physiological response and its associated neurotoxicity.}, author = {Sinnige, Tessa and Ciryam, Prashanth and Casford, Samuel and Dobson, Christopher M. and de Bono, Mario and Vendruscolo, Michele}, issn = {1932-6203}, journal = {PLOS ONE}, number = {5}, publisher = {Public Library of Science}, title = {{Expression of the amyloid-β peptide in a single pair of C. elegans sensory neurons modulates the associated behavioural response}}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0217746}, volume = {14}, year = {2019}, } @article{7550, abstract = {We consider an optimal control problem for an abstract nonlinear dissipative evolution equation.
