  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: Ginseng (Panax ginseng) derives its renowned therapeutic properties from ginsenoside
    metabolites. However, the long cultivation cycle and susceptibility to diseases
    hinder the advancement of the ginseng industry. Here, we demonstrate that the
    embryonic protoderm of ginseng can efficiently produce ginsenosides. Single-cell
    transcriptome and mass spectrometry imaging analyses reveal that ginsenosides
    accumulate in the protoderm of ginseng embryonic callus (EC) at levels comparable
    to those in forest ginseng. Epigenetic analyses indicate that elevated histone
    acetylation and enhanced chromatin accessibility at regeneration- and ginsenoside
    metabolism-related gene loci are associated with the ginsenoside-producing capacity
    of EC. Increasing histone acetylation levels or overexpressing the regeneration-related
    WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX11 (WOX11) gene further enhances ginsenoside production
    in EC. Our findings suggest that the protoderm of EC could serve as an in situ
    biological compartment for high-efficiency ginsenoside producion, offering a complementary
    approach to traditional ginseng cultivation.

  text: "Understanding enzyme function requires characterizing not only static structure
    but also dynamics and ligand interactions. NMR spectroscopy provides this insight
    at atomic resolution, yet for large proteins the difficulty of resonance assignment
    has largely confined such studies to systems below ∼50 kDa, or to observing only
    methyl groups. Here we present an integrated magic-angle spinning (MAS) and solution
    NMR study of the 134 kDa tetrameric malate dehydrogenase from Ignicoccus islandicus
    (IiMDH), an enzyme of particular interest as an evolutionary intermediate between
    allosteric lactate\r\ndehydrogenases and non-allosteric malate dehydrogenases.
    By combining high-dimensional (up to 4D) MAS NMR experiments on sedimented protein
    with solution NMR, we achieved 92% backbone heavy- atom assignment and 91% assignment
    of all Ile-δ1, Leu-δ1/-δ2, Val-γ1/-γ2, Met-ε and Thr-γ methyl groups. Building
    on these assignments, we use various probes of backbone and sidechain dynamics:
    elevated MAS NMR 15N rotating-frame relaxation (R1ρ) points to microsecond motions
    in functionally critical regions, including the catalytic loop and the mobile
    surface loop. Complementary methyl-axis order parameters from solution NMR identified
    additional flexible sites in the hydrophobic core. Chemical shift perturbation
    experiments upon addition of the substrate analogue oxamate, monitored via backbone
    1H-15N TROSY, revealed both active-site contacts and responses in helices α2F
    and α3G, regions implicated in allosteric signal transmission. The integrated
    approach demonstrated here exploits the distinct strengths of MAS and solution
    NMR, and provides a comprehensive view of structure, dynamics, and substrate interactions
    in a large oligomeric enzyme that would not be accessible by either technique
    alone."

  text: "We develop and employ techniques from equivariant algebraic K-theory and
    related invariants\r\nin the context of geometric representation theory, in both
    arithmetic and topological situations.\r\nWe showcase the use of such techniques
    on the affine Grassmannian Gr, a space of fundamental\r\ninterest in the geometric
    Langlands program.\r\n\r\nIt is a deep development of mathematics of the last
    century that many concrete, yet combina-\r\ntorially complex algebraic problems
    may be effectively studied through the lens of algebraic\r\ngeometry. The objects
    of interest can be often realized as cohomological invariants of algebraic\r\nvarieties,
    and good understanding of their geometry sheds light into the original questions.\r\nSuch
    techniques have seen immense applications in the Langlands program, where they
    go\r\nunder the label of geometric representation theory.\r\n\r\nOne source of
    powerful invariants in algebraic geometry comes from algebraic K-theory,\r\nHochschild
    homology, and their relatives. These localizing invariants contain large amount\r\nof
    information, but are quite hard to compute. For this reason, their usage in geometric\r\nrepresentation
    theory has been limited.\r\n\r\nThe aim of this thesis is to showcase how to control
    such invariants in the situations of\r\ninterest and use them to obtain new insights.
    We start by reinterpreting equivariant Hochschild\r\nhomology in terms of functions
    on certain fixed-point schemes, which are of independent\r\ninterest. We compare
    it to equivariant K-theory via the trace map. We give new computations\r\nand
    comparisons of such invariants of affine Schubert varieties in Gr, including arithmetic\r\nsituations.
    We show that they behave much better than expected.\r\n\r\nWe finally utilize
    this circle of ideas in a purely topological setting. We describe the varying\r\nfixed
    points of the extended torus action on the affine Grassmannian, and use it to
    compute\r\nits equivariant topological K-theory ring. The answer is nontrivial
    and verifies an outstanding\r\nconjecture in the subject.\r\n\r\nWe compare, partly
    conjecturally, the resulting K-theory ring to the completed center of an\r\nintegral
    even hybrid quantum group and its deformed quantum category O. This gives a\r\ngenuine
    application of our computations in pure representation theory."

  text: 'We define a certain class of simple varieties over a field k by a constructive
    recipe and show how to control their (equivariant) truncating invariants. Consequently,
    we prove that on simple varieties: (i) if k = k and char k = p, the p-adic cyclotomic
    trace is an equivalence; (ii) if k = Q, the Goodwillie–Jones trace is an isomorphism
    in degree zero; (iii) we can control homotopy invariant K-theory KH, which is
    equivariantly formal and determined by its topological counterparts. Simple varieties
    are quite special, but encompass important singular examples appearing in geometric
    representation theory. We, in particular, show that both finite and affine Schubert
    varieties for GLn lie in this class, so all the above results hold for them. '

  text: We study torus-equivariant algebraic K-theory of affine Schubert varieties
    in the perfect affine Grassmannians over Fp. We further compare it to the torus-equivariant
    Hochschild homology of perfect complexes, which has a geometric description in
    terms of global functions on certain fixed-point schemes. We prove that Fp-linearly,
    this comparison is an isomorphism. Our approach is quite constructive, resulting
    in new computations of these K-theory rings. We establish various structural results
    for equivariant perfect algebraic K-theory on the way; we believe these are of
    independent interest.

  text: "Contact electrification (CE) is a simple yet elusive phenomenon that occurs
    when two materials come into contact and separate, leaving behind net electrical
    charge. Despite its ubiquity, the microscopic origin of CE remains unclear. In
    this thesis, we investigate CE from three complementary perspectives: developing
    a quantitative method to measure charge at the nanoscale, exploring the dynamic
    behavior of charge on insulating surfaces, and uncovering the role of mechanical
    history in forming a triboelectric series.\r\n\r\nIn the first part, we establish
    a rigorous framework for converting qualitative Kelvin probe force microscopy
    (KPFM) voltage maps into quantitative charge density distributions. Using finite
    element method (FEM) simulations, we determine the point-spread function of the
    KPFM tip–sample geometry and demonstrate that the true surface charge can be reconstructed
    by numerical deconvolution. This procedure enables the recovery of both the magnitude
    and sign of charge density with high fidelity, resolving nanoscale features that
    are otherwise obscured. Applying the method to contact-charged SiO$_2$ surfaces,
    we show that existing analytical approximations, such as parallel plate or spherical
    models, can miscalculate charge magnitude by orders of magnitude. Our hybrid FEM/KPFM
    approach therefore provides a fast and general method to convert qualitative KPFM
    signals into quantitative charge data, enabling nanoscale charge mapping under
    realistic experimental conditions.\r\n\r\nIn the second part, we study the temporal
    stability of CE-induced charges and identify the key material factors that determine
    whether KPFM can capture meaningful charge patterns. Through time-resolved experiments
    combining a custom-built transfer system with both microscopic and macroscopic
    measurements, we demonstrate that only the best insulators, such as SiO$_2$, preserve
    CE charge long enough for stationary imaging. For less conductive polymers, such
    as PDMS, charge decays within the duration of a single KPFM scan due to bulk conduction.
    Using a simple capacitor-based model, we reproduce the observed decay dynamics
    and confirm that the transferred charge decays characteristic to the sample's
    bulk conductivity. Further, we always observe homogeneous charge transfer.\r\n\r\nIn
    the third part, we address the question: can we form a triboelectric series with
    identical materials? Using controlled repetitive contact experiments, we show
    that nominally identical materials can progressively order themselves into a triboelectric
    series, where surfaces with more contact history charge negatively relative to
    fresher ones. By constructing a minimal model based on this ``contact bias'',
    we replicate the evolution from random to ordered charging observed in experiments.
    Supporting surface analyses, including atomic force microscopy, reveal that repeated
    contact induces nanoscale morphological changes, suggesting a mechanism tightly
    coupled to mechanical strain. These results highlight the crucial role of surface
    history and nanoscale mechanics in dictating charge transfer, motivating further
    exploration of mechanisms such as mechanochemical bond cleavage and flexoelectric
    polarization."

  text: Bacteria, like eukaryotes, use conserved cytoskeletal systems for intracellular
    organization. The plasmid-encoded ParMRC system forms actin-like filaments that
    segregate low–copy number plasmids. In multicellular cyanobacteria such as Anabaena
    sp., we found that a chromosomally encoded ParMR system has evolved into a cytoskeletal
    system named CorMR with a function in cell shape control rather than DNA segregation.
    Live-cell imaging, in vitro reconstitution, and cryo–electron microscopy revealed
    that CorM formed dynamically unstable, antiparallel double-stranded filaments
    that were recruited to the membrane by CorR through an amphipathic helix conserved
    in multicellular cyanobacteria. CorMR filaments were regulated by MinC, which
    excluded them from the poles and division plane. Comparative genomics indicated
    that the repurposing of ParMR and Min systems coevolved with cyanobacterial multicellularity,
    highlighting the evolutionary plasticity of cytoskeletal systems in bacteria.

  text: 'The physical processes that led to the formation of billion-solar-mass black
    holes within the first 700 million years of cosmic time, a period known as cosmic
    dawn, remain a puzzle1. Several theoretical scenarios have been proposed to seed
    and rapidly grow black holes2,3,4, but direct observations of these mechanisms
    remain elusive. Here we present a source 660 million years after the Big Bang
    that exhibits singular properties: among the largest hydrogen Balmer breaks reported
    at any redshift, broad multi-peaked Hβ emission, and Balmer line absorption in
    several transitions. We model this source as an enshrouded black hole in which
    the Balmer break and absorption features are a result of extremely dense, turbulent
    gas forming a dust-free envelope around a supermassive black hole5,6. This source
    may provide evidence of an early black hole embedded in dense gas—a theoretical
    configuration proposed to rapidly grow black holes by super-Eddington accretion7,8.
    Radiation from the black hole seems to dominate almost all observed light, leaving
    limited room for contribution from its host galaxy. If the source merged with
    its brighter neighbour, it would resemble the recently discovered ‘little red
    dots’ with perplexing spectral energy distributions9,10,11. The redness of the
    black hole is due to gas, not dust12,13, and scattering, not kinematics, gives
    rise to the complex line shapes and luminosities—black hole masses of these sources
    may therefore be overestimated by orders of magnitude.'

  text: 'Robust oxygenic photosynthesis requires the efficient assembly and repair
    of the multi-subunit oxygen-evolving photosystem II (PSII) complex. Previous cryogenic
    electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of PSII assembly/disassembly intermediates
    have relied on the analysis of deletion mutants or removal of PSII subunits in
    vitro. Here we report the cryo-EM structures of naturally occurring dimeric PSII
    intermediates from the cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus vestitus at a resolution
    of about 2.2 Å. These intermediates contain inactive dimers lacking the oxygen-evolving
    complex (OEC) and semi-active dimers with the OEC present in one of the two monomers.
    Our structural data provide a mechanism for how assembly and disassembly of the
    Mn4CaO5 cluster is coordinated with the binding and release of the extrinsic proteins:
    restructuring of the C-terminal tail of D1 subunit during assembly or disassembly
    of the Mn cluster triggers conformational changes in D2, CP47 and CP43 to drive
    the binding/release of the extrinsic proteins. A combination of structural and
    mass spectrometry data also suggests that the inactive PSII complexes may include
    damaged complexes containing oxidized D1-His332, a monodentate ligand to one of
    the Mn ions of the OEC.'

  text: "In this note we outline a new and simple approach to proving central limit
    theorems for various ‘global’ graph parameters that have robust ‘local’ approximations,
    using the Efron–Stein inequality, which relies on a combinatorial analysis of
    the stability of these approximations under resampling an edge. As an application,
    we give short proofs of a central limit theorem for the order of the giant component
    and of the \U0001D458\r\n-core for sparse random graphs."

  text: "The widespread adoption of apps like Whatsapp and Signal has translated into
    billions of people all around the world communicating on a regular basis by making
    use of services that offer end-to-end encryption and even provide security guarantees
    when a user's device is compromised.\r\n\r\nThis was made possible by the introduction
    of the Double Ratchet Algorithm~\\cite{double_ratchet}, which was designed for
    a setting where communication takes place between two parties.\r\nHowever, in
    practice, many apps offer the possibility of creating groups.\r\nThe protocols
    they use to secure communication are inefficient for large group which has the
    undesireable consequence that the aforementioned apps have established limits
    on the group size of roughly 1000 users.\r\nThis has motivated the introduction
    of the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) standard~\\cite{rfc9420} by the IETF which
    is based on a primitive called Continuous Group Key Agreement (CGKA)~\\cite{C:ACDT20}.\r\n\r\nThis
    primitive allows a group of users to maintain a shared secret key that is frequently
    rotated by the group members in order to change group membership, achieve forward
    secrecy (FS) and post compromise security (PCS).\r\nMost protocols are based on
    binary trees where the nodes are associated to a pair formed by public key and
    a secret key.\r\nEach leaf corresponds to one of the group members and a user
    knows the secret keys associated to nodes along the path from their leaf to the
    root.\r\nWhen a user wants to update their key material they have to change $
    \\log(N) $ many keys.\r\nThis requires uploading $ \\log(N) $ many ciphertexts
    to communicate the new keys to the rest of the group members in a way that respects
    the tree structure.\r\n\r\nIn this thesis we study how much communication between
    group members is required in order to add and remove users from a group as well
    as in order to provide PCS when we consider CGKAs built using standard cryptographic
    primitives like pseudo-random functions and public-key encryption. Furthermore,
    we also consider the case of MLS and provide the first lower bound showing that
    its communication complexity is much worse than previously believed, i.e., it
    is very far from $ \\log(N) $.\r\nFinally, we also propose a variant of MLS which
    provably achieves the same security properties with a much lower communication
    cost."

  text: "Quantitative automata (QAs) extend finite-state automata on infinite words
    with weighted transitions to specify quantitative system properties. However,
    their finite weight sets rule out properties like average response time, where
    response times can be arbitrarily large. Nested quantitative automata (NQAs) overcome
    this limitation: a parent automaton spawns child automata to compute unbounded
    values over finite infixes and aggregates them into a final result. Despite this
    expressiveness, NQAs have lacked practical tool support to date.\r\n\r\nWe close
    this gap by extending the Quantitative Automata Kit (QuAK), a software tool for
    QA analysis, to support NQAs. Our core contribution is implementing a suite of
    flattening procedures that reduce NQAs to QAs, leveraging QuAK’s existing decision
    procedures. These reductions preserve the answers to threshold decision problems,
    while allowing users to specify properties in the more expressive NQA formalism.
    The tool handles all combinations of parent aggregators (including limits and
    averages) and child functions (extrema and monotonic or bounded summations) for
    which emptiness and universality are known to be decidable. Experiments on response-time
    and resource-consumption benchmarks demonstrate QuAK’s effectiveness."

  text: The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) posits how isolated quantum
    many-body systems thermalize, assuming that individual eigenstates at the same
    energy density have identical expectation values of local observables in the limit
    of large systems. While the ETH apparently holds across a wide range of interacting
    quantum systems, in this work, we show that it may require generalization in the
    presence of thermal first-order phase transitions. We introduce a class of all-to-all
    spin models, featuring first-order thermal phase transitions that stem from two
    distinct local maxima of entropy (two mean-field solutions that we dub “branches”)
    that exchange dominance in the many-body density of states as the energy is varied.
    We argue that, for energies in the vicinity of the thermal phase transition, eigenstate
    expectation values do not need to converge to the same thermal value. The system
    has a regime with coexistence of two classes of eigenstates corresponding to the
    two branches with distinct expectation values at the same energy density and another
    regime with Schrödinger-cat-like eigenstates that are interbranch superpositions;
    these two regimes are separated by an eigenstate phase transition. We propose
    a more general form of the ETH , support our results by semiclassical calculations
    and an exact diagonalization study of a microscopic spin model, and argue that
    the structure of eigenstates in the vicinity of thermal first-order phase transitions
    can be experimentally probed via nonequilibrium dynamics.

  text: Radial glial progenitors (RGPs) produce all excitatory neurons in the developing
    cerebral cortex. Mosaic analysis with double markers (MADM)-based lineage tracing
    in vivo has revealed a quantitative framework of RGP lineage progression1. Here
    we established MADM technology2,3 in mouse embryonic stem cells to probe RGP lineage
    progression in a self-organizing cortical organoid system. We found that RGPs
    exhibit a high level of plasticity in proliferative potential in organoids rather
    than strict temporally stereotyped lineage progression as observed in vivo. RGPs
    in organoids showed increased lineage restriction, diminishing cell-type diversity
    in clones of cortical projection neurons, despite uniform single-cell transcriptional
    signatures of RGPs and a unitary lineage trajectory. Thus, critical non-cell-autonomous
    cues that are absent in self-organizing systems and/or the genuine stem cell niche
    are essential for faithful temporal control of RGP lineage progression and the
    generation of clonal cortical cell-type diversity.

  text: "Context. X-ray binaries exhibit complex variability patterns studied in the
    power spectrum. These include the broadband noise (BBN)\r\ncomponents and various
    types of narrow components called quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). There is
    currently no consensus about\r\nwhat determines the presence or absence of the
    BBN or what generates the QPOs. Many believe that QPO generation is due to framedragging
    effects caused by Lense–Thirring torques.\r\nAims. We investigated the potential
    impact of frame-dragging effects on the accretion disk itself. In particular,
    we focused on its\r\nimpact on the observed variability and on the presence (and
    types) of associated QPOs.\r\nMethods. We made analytical estimates to assess
    the potential presence of a geometric warp in the inner accretion disk during
    state\r\ntransitions.\r\nResults. We show that the presence of a warp can modify
    the spectral-timing properties in a way that matches the observed transition\r\nbetween
    QPO types during outbursts. We also discuss the peculiar case of Cyg X-1, as well
    as how the hard-to-soft transition could\r\nbe driven by the warp itself.\r\nConclusions.
    The (expected) emergence of a warp provides a consistent explanation for the evolution
    of both the BBN and the QPO\r\nproperties during state transitions. This offers
    a first path toward unifying the variability of black hole X-ray binaries."

  text: Elucidating reaction mechanisms requires efficient generation of transition
    states (TSs) and products. Existing diffusion and sequence-based models accelerate
    parts of this process over traditional string-based methods, but typically still
    require manual enumeration of either TSs or products, and stochastic diffusion
    dynamics can be inefficient and hard to control. We introduce MolGEN, a conditional
    flow-matching framework that uses deterministic optimal transport to map Gaussian
    priors to chemical distributions. For TS generation, MolGEN improves TS geometry
    and barrier-height prediction over diffusion models while enabling sub-second
    sampling. For reaction product generation, it achieves competitive top-k accuracy
    while preserving mass and electron balance. Using the same backbone for TS and
    product sampling, MolGEN enables template-free generative exploration of reaction
    networks without the repeated quantum-chemistry searches required by prior methods.
    For the γ-ketohydroperoxide decomposition network, it produces more valid TSs
    than string-based methods using only 12 quantum-chemistry evaluations instead
    of 1156, and identifies a lower-barrier pathway.

  text: "This Research Data contains supplemental videos for Chapter 4 \"Designing
    bistable nanostructures for target behavior\" of my PhD Thesis \"Biological functionality
    without biochemistry: designing nanomachines for target behavior\".\r\nSupplemental
    video 1: Video showing the transition pathway of a bistable nanostructure with
    sphere-based arms, corresponding to the Machine in Scenario 4.\r\nSupplemental
    video 2: Video showing the transition pathway of the Source in Scenario 1. The
    arm tips change sides during the transition, demonstrating that the arms pass
    through each other.\r\nSupplemental video 3: Video showing the transition pathway
    of a fully polyhedral hinge structure with unconstrained arms. Note that we only
    show the ends of the arms.\r\nSupplemental video 4: Video showing the transition
    pathway of the coupled energy-delivery reaction of a Machine (gray) and a Source
    (blue) nanostructure for the optimized parameters in Scenario 3. Note that we
    only show the ends of the arms."

  text: Using transition metals efficiently in aqueous batteries requires transferring
    multiple electrons per metal, which leads to difficult-to-manage conversion reactions.
    It is now shown how vanadium can be changed from one-electron insertion to four-electron
    conversion.
