  text: 'During embryonic development, cell behaviors need to be tightly regulated
    in time and space. Yet how the temporal and spatial regulations of cell behaviors
    are interconnected during embryonic development remains elusive. To address this,
    we turned to zebrafish gastrulation, the process whereby dynamic cell behaviors
    generate the three principal germ layers of the early embryo. Here, we show that
    Hoxb cluster genes are expressed in a temporally collinear manner at the blastoderm
    margin, where mesodermal and endodermal (mesendoderm) progenitor cells are specified
    and ingress to form mesendoderm/hypoblast. Functional analysis shows that these
    Hoxb genes regulate the timing of cell ingression: under- or overexpression of
    Hoxb genes perturb the timing of mesendoderm cell ingression and, consequently,
    the positioning of these cells along the forming anterior-posterior body axis
    after gastrulation. Finally, we found that Hoxb genes control the timing of mesendoderm
    ingression by regulating cellular bleb formation and cell surface fluctuations
    in the ingressing cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that Hoxb genes interconnect
    the temporal and spatial pattern of cell behaviors during zebrafish gastrulation
    by controlling cell surface fluctuations.'

  text: We prove upper bounds on the L∞-Wasserstein distance from optimal transport
    between strongly log-concave probability densities and log-Lipschitz perturbations.
    In the simplest setting, such a bound amounts to a transport-information inequality
    involving the L∞-Wasserstein metric and the relative L∞-Fisher information. We
    show that this inequality can be sharpened significantly in situations where the
    involved densities are anisotropic. Our proof is based on probabilistic techniques
    using Langevin dynamics. As an application of these results, we obtain sharp exponential
    rates of convergence in Fisher’s infinitesimal model from quantitative genetics,
    generalising recent results by Calvez, Poyato, and Santambrogio in dimension 1
    to arbitrary dimensions.

  text: "This paper revisits a fundamental distributed computing problem in the population
    protocol model. Provided n agents each starting with an input color in [k], the
    relative majority problem asks to find the predominant color. In the population
    protocol model, at each time step, a scheduler selects two agents that first learn
    each other's states and then update their states based on what they learned.\r\nWe
    present the Circles protocol that solves the relative majority problem with k3
    states. It is always-correct under weakly fair scheduling. Not only does it improve
    upon the best known upper bound of O(k7), but it also shows a strikingly simpler
    design inspired by energy minimization in chemical settings."

  text: "Liquid democracy is a transitive vote delegation mechanism over voting graphs.
    It enables each voter to delegate their vote(s) to another better-informed voter,
    with the goal of collectively making a better decision. The question of whether
    liquid democracy outperforms direct voting has been previously studied in the
    context of local delegation mechanisms (where voters can only delegate to someone
    in their neighbourhood) and binary decision problems. It has previously been shown
    that it is impossible for local delegation mechanisms to outperform direct voting
    in general graphs. This raises the question: for which classes of graphs do local
    delegation mechanisms yield good results?\r\nIn this work, we analyse (1) properties
    of specific graphs and (2) properties of local delegation mechanisms on these
    graphs, determining where local delegation actually outperforms direct voting.
    We show that a critical graph property enabling liquid democracy is that the voting
    outcome of local delegation mechanisms preserves a sufficient amount of variance,
    thereby avoiding situations where delegation falls behind direct voting1. These
    insights allow us to prove our main results, namely that there exist local delegation
    mechanisms that perform no worse and in fact quantitatively better than direct
    voting in natural graph topologies like complete, random d-regular, and bounded
    degree graphs, lending a more nuanced perspective to previous impossibility results."

  text: Supercrystals represent three-dimensional orderings of colloidal nanocrystals
    (NCs), showcasing collective properties in photonics, phononics, and electronics
    applications.1,2 Recent studies have shown that such assemblies are directly produced
    during nanocrystal reactions.3–6 However, a fundamental understanding of in situ
    formed supercrystals that withstand typical NC purification processes remains
    underexplored, which is important for further use. Herein, we report the reaction
    precursor-mediated formation of stable PbTe supercrystals. Rationalizing the formation
    of these assemblies through small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements,
    we unveil their formation mechanism. Our findings reveal that the supercrystal
    formation occurs in the presence of an excess of lead oleates in the crude solution.
    It should be noted that the formed supercrystals can be stabilized under specific
    conditions determined by the lead oleate cluster concentration, content of trioctylphosphine
    telluride (TOP-Te), NC size and the need of an annealing step at mild conditions.
    Furthermore, this approach allows for the continuous growth of a secondary phase
    within the supercrystal; for example in the case of PbTe supercrystals, a PbS
    shell can be grown on each PbTe NC constituent, resulting in core-shell PbTe-PbS
    supercrystals. Our work elucidates that reaction precursors play an important
    role in in situ SC formation and stabilization, implying the possibility of applying
    this knowledge to other NC reactions.

  text: Theoretical studies have shown that stochasticity can affect the dynamics
    of ecosystems in counterintuitive ways. However, without knowing the equations
    governing the dynamics of populations or ecosystems, it is difficult to ascertain
    the role of stochasticity in real datasets. Therefore, the inverse problem of
    inferring the governing stochastic equations from datasets is important. Here,
    we present an equation discovery methodology that takes time series data of state
    variables as input and outputs a stochastic differential equation. We achieve
    this by combining traditional approaches from stochastic calculus with the equation
    discovery techniques. We demonstrate the generality of the method via several
    applications. First, we deliberately choose various stochastic models with fundamentally
    different governing equations, yet they produce nearly identical steady-state
    distributions. We show that we can recover the correct underlying equations, and
    thus infer the structure of their stability, accurately from the analysis of time
    series data alone. We demonstrate our method on two real-world datasets—fish schooling
    and single-cell migration—that have vastly different spatiotemporal scales and
    dynamics. We illustrate various limitations and potential pitfalls of the method
    and how to overcome them via diagnostic measures. Finally, we provide our open-source
    code via a package named PyDaDDy (Python Library for Data-Driven Dynamics).

  text: "Prenatal immune challenges pose significant risks to human embryonic brain
    and eye development. However, we still lack knowledge about the safe usage of
    anti-inflammatory drugs during pregnancy. Human induced pluripotent stem cell
    (hIPSC)-derived brain organoid models provide a unique opportunity to investigate
    neuronal development and have started to explore functional consequences upon
    viral infection. However, brain organoids usually lack microglia, the brain-resident
    immune cells. They are present in the early human embryonic brain and actively
    participate in neuronal circuit development. At the same time, microglia are known
    for their immune-sensing properties and will influence viral-mediated effects.
    In my thesis, I was interested to study the multifunctional role of human microglia
    during retinal development. \r\nIn chapter 1, I characterize the innate occurrence
    of IBA1+-microglia-like cells within the retinal organoid differentiation (Bartalska
    et al., 2022). Therefore, we differentiate hIPSC using an unguided retinal organoid
    differentiation protocol and observe the presence of IBA1+-microglia-like cells
    alongside retinal cups between week 3 and 4 in 2.5D culture. However, instead
    of infiltrating the neuroectodermal sides, they enrich within non-pigmented, 3D-cystic
    compartments that develop in low numbers parallel to 3D-retinal organoids. To
    enrich for IBA1+-microglia precursors (preMG), we guided the differentiation with
    a low-dosed BMP4 application, which prevents retinal cup development and enhances
    microglia and 3D-cysts formation. We characterize the differentiated preMG for
    their microglia-like identity and validated their functionality. In parallel,
    mass spectrometry identifies the 3D-cysts to express mesenchymal and epithelial
    markers. We confirm that comparable 3D-cysts are also the preferential environment
    for IBA1+-microglia-like cells within the unguided retinal organoid differentiation.
    \r\nIn chapter 2, I investigate how microglia influence retinal development and
    whether they contribute to viral-mediated consequences (Schmied et al., 2025).
    Here, we assemble preMG, which we have characterized in chapter 1, into 3D-retinal
    organoids. Once the outer plexiform layer forms, microglia-like cells (iMG) populate
    them and interact with retinal cell types. However, at this developmental stage,
    the ganglion cell number decreases in 3D-retinal organoids. Thus, we adapted the
    model into 2D which promotes their survival. Integrated iMG engulf ganglion cells
    and control their cell number. In parallel, we apply the immunostimulant POLY(I:C)
    to mimic a fetal viral infection. Although POLY(I:C) stimulation affects iMG phenotype,
    it does not influence their interaction with ganglion cells. Furthermore, iMG
    presence significantly contributes to the supernatant’s inflammatory secretome
    and increases retinal cell proliferation. Simultaneous exposure to the non-steroidal
    anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ibuprofen dampens POLY(I:C)-mediated consequences
    of the iMG phenotype and ameliorates cell proliferation. Remarkably, while POLY(I:C)
    disrupts neuronal calcium dynamics independent of iMG presence, ibuprofen rescues
    this effect only in the presence of iMG. Mechanistically, ibuprofen blocks the
    enzymes cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (COX1/ PTGS1 and COX2/ PTGS2) simultaneously, from
    which iMG predominantly express COX1. Selective inhibition of COX1 does not restore
    the calcium peak amplitude upon POLY(I:C) stimulation, indicating ibuprofen’s
    effect depends on the presence and interplay of both, COX1 and COX2. \r\nIn summary,
    we characterized the 3D-retinal organoid model for the occurrence of IBA1+-microglia
    like cells. As the innately developing IBA1+-cells enrich in mesenchymal over
    retinal structures, we optimized a protocol to differentiate IBA1+-microglia precursors.
    By combining these two models we generate microglia-assembled retinal organoids.
    Our results underscore the importance of microglia during neurodevelopment, in
    the context of prenatal immune challenges and provide insight into the mechanisms
    by which ibuprofen exerts its protective effects during embryonic development."

  text: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key extracellular matrix component of vertebrates,
    where it mediates cell adhesion, immune regulation, and tissue remodeling through
    its interaction with specific receptors. Although HA has been detected in a few
    invertebrate species, the lack of fundamental components of the molecular HA pathway
    poses relevant objections about its functional role in these species. Mining genomic
    and transcriptomic data, we considered the conservation of the gene locus encoding
    for the extracellular link protein (XLINK) in marine mussels as well as its expression
    patterns. Structural and phylogenetic analyses were undertaken to evaluate possible
    similarities with vertebrate orthologs and to infer the origin of this gene in
    invertebrates. Biochemical analysis was used to quantify HA in tissues of Mytilus
    galloprovincialis. As a result, we confirm that the mussel can produce HA (up
    to 1.02 ng/mg in mantle) and that its genome encodes two XLINK gene loci. These
    loci are conserved in Mytilidae species and show a complex evolutionary path.
    Mussel XLINK genes appeared to be expressed during developmental stages in three
    mussel species, ranking in the top 100 expressed genes in M. trossulus at 17 h
    post-fertilization. In conclusion, the presence of HA and an active gene with
    the potential to bind HA suggests that mussels have the potential to synthesize
    and use HA and are among the few invertebrates encoding this gene.

  text: "Research question: Is LINC01638 involved in regulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal
    transition (EMT) in endometriosis?\r\nDesign: A prospective patient cohort study
    was combined with functional experiments in the 12Z endometriosis epithelial cell
    line to investigate the role of LINC01638 in endometriosis. Eutopic endometrial
    samples were collected by curettage, and ectopic endometrial lesion samples were
    collected by laparoscopic surgery from 24 control patients and 41 patients with
    endometriosis. The phenotype of 12Z cells was assessed following LINC01638 knockdown
    using siRNA, performing proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion assays,
    as well as assessing apoptosis and cell cycle changes with flow cytometry assays.
    In order to assess the relationship between LINC01638 and histone deacetylase
    class 1 enzyme (HDAC1), LINC01638 knockdown was combined with HDAC inhibition
    with the specific HDAC inhibitor romidepsin.\r\nResults: LINC01638 was up-regulated
    in the epithelial layer of endometriotic lesions, and LINC01638 knockdown in 12Z
    cells led to reduced proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion. The reduction
    in proliferation was associated with increased p21 and p27 expression, and G1
    phase arrest. Further analysis of LINC01638 control and knockdown cells revealed
    that a number of transcription factors associated with EMT are down-regulated
    in knockdown cells, along with the cytoskeleton regulatory gene RHOB, while HDAC1
    was up-regulated. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis and HDAC1 inhibitory
    treatment combined with LINC01638 knockdown indicated that LINC01638 regulates
    RHOB expression via HDAC1-mediated promoter deacetylation. RHOB is up-regulated
    in the epithelial layer of endometriotic lesions compared with eutopic endometrium,
    supporting a role in the disease.\r\nConclusions: LINC01638 is an epigenetic regulator
    of the pathogenesis of endometriosis, promoting proliferation and EMT of endometriotic
    lesions."

  text: "Introduction: Acid-growth theory has been postulated in the 70s to explain
    the rapid elongation of plant cells in response to the hormone auxin. More recently,
    it has been demonstrated that activation of the proton ATPs pump (H+-ATPs) promoting
    acidification of the apoplast is the principal mechanism by which auxin and other
    hormones such as brassinosteroids (BR) induce cell elongation. Despite these advances,
    the impact of this acidification on the mechanical properties of the cell wall
    remained largely unexplored.\r\n\r\nMethods: Here, we use elongation assays of
    Arabidopsis thaliana hypocotyls and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to correlate
    hormone-induced tissue elongation and local changes in cell wall mechanical properties.
    Furthermore, employing transgenic lines over-expressing Pectin Methyl Esterase
    (PME), along with calcium chelators, we investigate the effect of pectin modification
    in hormone-driven cell elongation.\r\n\r\nResults: We demonstrate that acidification
    of apoplast is necessary and sufficient to induce cell elongation through promoting
    cell wall softening. Moreover, we show that enhanced PME activity can induce both
    cell wall softening or stiffening in extracellular calcium dependent-manner and
    that tight control of PME activity is required for proper hypocotyl elongation.\r\n\r\nDiscussion:
    Our results confirm a dual role of PME in plant cell elongation. However, further
    investigation is needed to assess the status of pectin following short- or long-term
    PME treatments in order to determine if pectin methyl-esterification might promote
    its degradation as well as the role of PME inhibitors upon PME induction."

  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: Climate change is causing wildfires to become more frequent and intense. While
    predicting burned areas using bioclimatic and anthropogenic factors is an active
    research area, few studies have examined what drives the economic damages of wildfires.
    Our study aims to fill this gap by analyzing key factors influencing global economic
    wildfire damages and projecting future damages under three shared socioeconomic
    pathways (SSPs). We apply regression analyses to identify significant predictors
    of economic wildfire damages at country levels and use the fitted model to project
    future damages under SSP126, SSP245, and SSP370. Results show that the human vulnerability
    index (HVI), reflecting socioeconomic conditions, is the strongest predictor of
    historical wildfire damages, followed by water vapor pressure deficit during the
    fire season and population density around forested areas. We found high population
    density to be associated with lower damages. These findings contrast with studies
    of burned areas, where climate factors are more dominant. Our model projects that
    by 2070, average global economic wildfire damages will be three times higher under
    SSP370 than SSP126. Our model also shows that following SSP126 not only reduces
    wildfire damages but also lessens the inequalities in damage distribution across
    countries. This pathway’s dual focus on equitable socioeconomic progress and climate
    action potentially enhances a country’s resilience that helps mitigate wildfire
    damages. Our analyses also indicate that strong socioeconomic development can
    offset wildfire damages associated with climate hazards, although this is less
    certain under SSP370. SSP126’s integrated approach improves both socioeconomic
    conditions and limits global warming, providing substantial benefits to less developed
    countries while still reducing damages in developed nations, despite their already
    low HVI scores. Our work complements existing research on burned areas and underscores
    the importance of sustainable development and international collaboration in reducing
    the economic damages of wildfires.

  text: The hippocampus, critical for learning and memory, is dogmatically described
    as a trisynaptic circuit where dentate gyrus granule cells (GCs), CA3 pyramidal
    neurons (PNs), and CA1 PNs are serially connected. However, CA3 also forms an
    autoassociative network, and its PNs have diverse morphologies, intrinsic properties,
    and GC input levels. How PN subtypes compose this recurrent network is unknown.
    To determine the synaptic arrangement of identified CA3 PNs, we combine multicellular
    patch-clamp recording and post hoc morphological analysis in mouse hippocampal
    slices. PNs can be divided into distinct “superficial” and “deep” subclasses,
    the latter including previously reported “athorny” cells. Subclasses have distinct
    input-output transformations and asymmetric connectivity, which is more abundant
    from superficial to deep PNs, splitting CA3 locally into two parallel recurrent
    networks. Coincident spontaneous inhibition occurs frequently within but not between
    subclasses, implying subclass-specific inhibitory innervation. Our results suggest
    two separately controlled sublayers for parallel information processing in hippocampal
    CA3.

  text: A key step in protein structure prediction involves the detection of co-evolving
    pairs of residues, a signal for spatial proximity. This information is gleaned
    from multiple sequence alignment and underscores Alphafold’s structure prediction
    for almost every known protein. A simple means to create proteins beyond those
    found in nature, is by unnaturally fusing together two known proteins or protein
    parts. Here we demonstrate that structured peptides are predicted with significantly
    reduced accuracy when added to the terminal ends of scaffold proteins. Appending
    the multiple sequence alignment for the individual peptide tags to that of the
    scaffold protein often restores prediction accuracy. This work suggests that this
    windowed multiple sequence alignment approach can be a useful tool for predicting
    the structure of fused, chimeric proteins.

  text: 'Speciation is rarely observable directly. A way forward is to compare pairs
    of ecotypes that evolved in parallel in similar contexts but have reached different
    degrees of reproductive isolation. Such comparisons are possible in the marine
    snail Littorina saxatilis by contrasting barriers to gene flow between parallel
    ecotypes in Spain and Sweden. In both countries, divergent ecotypes have evolved
    to withstand either crab predation or wave action. Here, we explore transects
    spanning contact zones between the Crab and the Wave ecotypes using low-coverage
    whole-genome sequencing, morphological and behavioural traits. Despite parallel
    phenotypic divergence, distinct patterns of differentiation between the ecotypes
    emerged: a continuous cline in Sweden indicating a weak barrier to gene flow,
    but two highly genetically and phenotypically divergent, and partly spatially
    overlapping clusters in Spain suggesting a much stronger barrier to gene flow.
    The absence of Spanish early-generation hybrids supported strong isolation, but
    a low level of gene flow is evident from molecular data. In both countries, highly
    differentiated loci were located in both shared and country-specific chromosomal
    inversions but were also present in collinear regions. Despite being considered
    the same species and showing similar levels of phenotypic divergence, the Spanish
    ecotypes are much closer to full reproductive isolation than the Swedish ones.
    Barriers to gene flow of very different strengths between ecotypes within the
    same species might be explained by dissimilarities in the spatial arrangement
    of habitats, the selection gradients or the ages of the systems.'

  text: Auxin regulates various aspects of plant growth and development by modulating
    the transcription of target genes through the degradation of auxin/indole-3-acetic
    acid (Aux/IAA) repressors via the 26S proteasome. Proteasome regulator 1 (PTRE1),
    a positive regulator of proteasome activity, has been implicated in auxin-mediated
    proteasome suppression; however, the mechanism by which auxin modulates PTRE1
    function remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that auxin promotes the interaction
    between germin-like protein 1 (GLP1) and PTRE1, facilitating PTRE1 retention at
    the plasma membrane. The relocation of PTRE1 results in reduced nuclear 26S proteasome
    activity, and thus the attenuated Aux/IAA degradation and altered Aux/IAA homeostasis,
    ultimately resulting in suppressed auxin-mediated transcriptional regulation.
    Our findings uncover a previously uncharacterized regulatory axis in auxin signaling
    that controls Aux/IAA protein stability, functioning alongside the TIR1- and TRANSMEMBRANE
    KINASE 1 (TMK1)-mediated pathways, and highlight the coordination of auxin signaling
    from the cell surface to the nucleus via auxin-induced PTRE1 relocation, which
    fine-tunes Aux/IAA protein homeostasis and auxin responses.

  text: Bacteria and archaea deploy diverse antiviral defense systems, many of which
    remain mechanistically uncharacterized. Here, we characterize Kiwa, a widespread
    two-component system composed of the transmembrane sensor KwaA and the DNA-binding
    effector KwaB. Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) analysis reveals that KwaA
    and KwaB assemble into a large, membrane-associated supercomplex. Upon phage binding,
    KwaA senses infection at the membrane, leading to KwaB binding of ejected phage
    DNA and inhibition of replication and late transcription, without inducing host
    cell death. Although KwaB can bind DNA independently, its antiviral activity requires
    association with KwaA, suggesting spatial or conformational regulation. We show
    that the phage-encoded DNA-mimic protein Gam directly binds and inhibits KwaB
    but that co-expression with the Gam-targeted RecBCD system restores protection
    by Kiwa. Our findings support a model in which Kiwa coordinates membrane-associated
    detection of phage infection with downstream DNA binding by its effector, forming
    a spatially coordinated antiviral mechanism.
