text: Early embryo geometry is one of the most invariant species-specific traits,
yet its role in ensuring developmental reproducibility and robustness remains
underexplored. Here we show that in zebrafish, the geometry of the fertilized
egg—specifically its curvature and volume—serves as a critical initial condition
triggering a cascade of events that influence development. The embryo geometry
guides patterned asymmetric cell divisions in the blastoderm, generating radial
gradients of cell volume and nucleocytoplasmic ratio. These gradients generate
mitotic phase waves, with the nucleocytoplasmic ratio determining individual cell
cycle periods independently of other cells. We demonstrate that reducing cell
autonomy reshapes these waves, emphasizing the instructive role of geometry-derived
volume patterns in setting the intrinsic period of the cell cycle oscillator.
In addition to organizing cell cycles, early embryo geometry spatially patterns
zygotic genome activation at the midblastula transition, a key step in establishing
embryonic autonomy. Disrupting the embryo shape alters the zygotic genome activation
pattern and causes ectopic germ layer specification, underscoring the developmental
significance of geometry. Together, our findings reveal a symmetry-breaking function
of early embryo geometry in coordinating cell cycle and transcriptional patterning.

text: Formation during the first cycles of Li-rich layered oxide (LRLO) cathode
materials consolidates the interphase and leads to structural changes that are
decisive for long-term cyclability. However, the nature and effect of the changes
are material-dependent and unknown for the important class of Co-free, Ni-poor
LRLOs. Here, we analyze the processes during the tailored formation procedure
of a typical class member, Li1.28Ni0.15Mn0.57O2, and demonstrate that it remarkably
changes lattice composition and structure as a prerequisite for stable cycling.
We combine electrochemistry, operando mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and
X-ray absorption spectroscopy with density functional theory simulations. Activation
most prominently compresses the layer spacing along the c-axis and increases reversible
structural breathing. The large capacity of ∼250 mAh g–1 originates from the Ni2+/Ni4+
and O2–/O– redox couples. Electron exchange during O-redox is smeared over the
entire anionic sublattice rather than localized on specific oxygen atomic sites.
This redox mechanism is reversible without detrimental oxygen evolution, avoiding
continued degradation common in conventional LRLOs. Sequential Ni- and O-redox
during activation irreversibly distorts the coordination of the redox-inactive
Mn4+ centers. This structural evolution of the MnO6 octahedra appears to enable
the superior electrochemical performance of this LRLO phase. These findings define
an activation pathway for the important class of Co-free, Ni-poor LRLOs, offering
potential guidance for the rational design of high-performance, more sustainable
cathode materials.

text: The advantageous characteristics attributed to the 19F nucleus have made it
a popular target for NMR once again in recent years. Aside from solution NMR,
an increasing number of studies have been conducted applying solid-state magic-angle-spinning
NMR to fluorine-labeled samples. Here, the high chemical shift anisotropy and
strong dipolar couplings can be utilized to get structural insights into proteins
and measure long distances. Despite increasing popularity and promising benefits,
the sensitivity of biomolecular 19F MAS NMR often suffers from slow longitudinal
T1 relaxation and therefore long recycle delays. In this work, we expand paramagnetic
doping, an approach commonly used to reduce proton T1 relaxation times, to 19F-labeled
biological samples. We study the effect of Gd(DTPA) and Gd(DTPA-BMA) on 19F and
13C T1 and T2 relaxation in a [5-19F13C]-tryptophan-labeled protein via 19F-detected
MAS NMR experiments. The observed paramagnetic relaxation enhancement substantially
reduces measurement times of 19F MAS NMR experiments without compromising resolution.
Additionally, we report the chemical-shift assignments of all four fluorotryptophan
signals in the 12 × 39 kDa large protein using a mutagenesis approach.

text: Insulating oxides are among the most abundant solid materials in the universe1,2,3.
Of the many ways in which they influence natural phenomena, perhaps the most consequential
is their capacity to transfer electrical charge during contact4,5,6,7,8,9,10—which
occurs even between samples of the same oxide—yet the symmetry-breaking parameter
that causes this remains unidentified11,12. Here we show that adventitious carbonaceous
molecules adsorbed from the environment are the symmetry-breaking factor in same-material
oxide contact electrification (CE). We use acoustic levitation to measure charge
exchange between a sphere and a plate composed of identical amorphous silicon
dioxide (SiO2). Although charging polarity is random for co-prepared samples,
we control it with baking or plasma treatment. Observing the charge-exchange relaxation
afterwards, we see dynamics over a timescale of hours and connect this directly
to the presence of adventitious carbon with time-of-flight mass spectrometry,
low-energy ion scattering and infrared spectroscopy. Going further, we confirm
that adventitious carbon can even determine charge exchange among different oxides.
Our results identify the symmetry-breaking parameter that causes insulating oxides
to exchange charge in settings ranging from desert sands4 to volcanic plumes5,6,
while simultaneously highlighting an overlooked factor in CE more broadly.

text: Auxin canalization is a self-organizing process that governs the flexible
formation of vasculature by reinforcing the formation of auxin transport channels.
A key prerequisite is the feedback between auxin signaling and directional auxin
transport, mediated by PIN transporters. Despite the developmental importance
of canalization, the molecular components linking auxin perception to the regulation
of PIN auxin transporters remain poorly understood. Here, we identify TOW, a novel
and essential component of auxin canalization that links intracellular auxin signaling
with cell surface auxin perception. TOW is regulated downstream of TIR1/AFB-Aux/IAA-WRKY23
transcriptional auxin signaling. tow mutants exhibit defects in regeneration and
de novo vasculature formation, along with impaired formation of polarized, PIN-expressing
auxin channels. At the subcellular level, these mutants display disrupted auxin-induced
PIN polarization and altered PIN endocytic trafficking dynamics. TOW localizes
predominantly to the plasma membrane, where it interacts with receptor-like kinases
involved in auxin canalization, including the TMK1 auxin co-receptor and the CAMEL-CANAR
complex. TOW promotes PIN interaction with these kinases and stabilizes PINs at
the cell surface. Together, our findings identify TOW as a molecular link between
intracellular and cell surface auxin signaling mechanisms that converge on PIN
trafficking and polarity, providing new insights into how auxin signaling regulates
directional auxin transport for the self-organizing formation of vasculature during
flexible plant development.

text: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a crucial member of the reactive oxygen species
(ROS) family, playing roles in cellular signalling and immune responses in human
health. Moreover, it is a potential biomarker of diabetes when present in aberrant
concentrations. Therefore, monitoring trace levels of H2O2 has become a research
hotspot for analytical and sensor chemists. In this context, we report a rhodamine-based
fluorescent probe (RN), which shows excellent fluorescent enhancement at 555 nm
upon the addition of H2O2 along with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.67 ppm
and fast response (∼2 min). The probe is highly selective for H2O2, showing no
fluorescence enhancement with other ROS. RN is synthesised in a one-pot chemical
reaction using rhodamine 6G (R6G) and 4,7,10-trioxa-1,13-tridecanediamine (TTDA).
H2O2 detection in pre-treated milk samples proves its real-world viability. We
found that RN shows low cytotoxicity, which allowed us to successfully explore
its potential to monitor H2O2 generation in a diabetic L929 skin cell line and
diabetic mice liver tissue. This result demonstrates promising features for assessing
early diabetic progression through fluorescence imaging.

text: As vertebrates transitioned from water to land, locomotion shifted from undulatory
swimming to limb-based movement. How spinal circuits and their cell types evolved
to support this transition remains unclear. We leverage frog metamorphosis, which
recapitulates this transition within a single organism, to define how spinal circuits
generate aquatic versus terrestrial motor patterns. At swim stages, spinal architecture
is uniform, with a transcriptionally and anatomically homogeneous motor and interneurons.
As limbs develop and their movement complexifies, spinal circuits expand in neuron
number and subtype diversity. This expansion is most pronounced for V1 inhibitory
neurons, which increase ∼70-fold and diversify into transcriptionally distinct
subtypes. Disrupting transcription factors defining emerging motor and V1 populations
reveals molecular segregation between swim and limb circuits, highlighting the
role of subtype diversity in motor coordination. A multifold increase in inhibitory
neuron diversity thus underlies the tail-to-limb locomotor transition, providing
a framework for spinal circuit adaptation during vertebrate evolution.

text: Liquid-like superionic conductors, with highly mobile ions in a rigid framework,
offer intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity without compromising electronic
transport. Argyrodite-type Ag8SnSe6 exhibits a melt-like Ag sublattice that drives
lattice thermal conductivity (κL) below 0.2 watts per meter per kelvin, yet its
low carrier concentration limits the power factor. Here, interstitial Ag atoms
raise the Fermi level into the conduction band, substantially increasing the electron
concentration. Simultaneously, the formation of a secondary Ag2Se phase generates
lattice distortions that enhance phonon scattering. A pronounced mismatch between
electronic (~200 nanometers) and phononic (~0.22 nanometers) mean free paths decouples
charge and heat transport, enabling concurrent suppression of κL and retention
of high electrical conductivity. This coupled electronic-phononic modulation yields
a record ZT of 0.72 at ambient temperature and a peak ZT of 1.1 at 735 kelvins,
with an average ZTavg of 0.72 over 320 to 735 kelvins. A unicouple device achieves
6.3% efficiency under a 357-kelvin gradient, highlighting a practical strategy
for high-performance midtemperature thermoelectrics.

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: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in multiple signaling processes
in plants, but the underlying mechanisms and roles remain enigmatic. In this study,
we developed a method of live imaging of apoplastic ROS at the root surface. Distinct
signals, including auxin, extracellular adenosine triphosphate, and rapid alkalinization
factor 1 peptide, induce cytosolic calcium transients and apoplastic ROS bursts.
Genetic and optogenetic manipulations of Arabidopsis identified calcium transients
as necessary and sufficient for ROS bursts through activation of reduced nicotinamide
adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases RBOHC and RBOHF. Apoplastic ROS
bursts are not required, but they do limit gravity-induced root bending. Root
bending is sensed by the stretch-activated calcium channel MCA1, leading to NADPH
oxidase activation. The resulting ROS production stiffens cell walls to facilitate
soil penetration. Apoplastic ROS thus provides a means to balance tissue flexibility
and stiffness to navigate soil.

text: Pyridyl motifs equipped with N-substituents can be powerful ligands for catalysis,
yet their broader adoption is limited by the lack of a practical method to prepare
these scaffolds. We report a modular, robust, and versatile Buchwald–Hartwig amination
protocol that enables the rapid synthesis of bipyridine, phenanthroline, terpyridine,
and pybox ligands bearing dialkylamine, diarylamine, and heteroaromatic N-substituents.
These conditions streamline ligand library synthesis and will facilitate systematic
studies in catalysis and related applications.

text: "Atoms and photons, two things so different but yet so alike. The former,
the building block of matter, something we learn about in school and imagine it
as some tiny marbles encircled by other tinier marbles. The latter, an electromagnetic
wave, a light particle or an excitation of the electromagnetic field. Quantum
mechanics tells us about the properties of these two entities. And even if it
sounds, looks and writes counter-intuitive, it has proven right for over a century
now.\r\n\r\nIn this work, I elaborate on how we tested the laws of quantum mechanics
and how we used them learn more about the tiny building blocks of nature and the
fields they use to talk to each other. The atoms we use, are artificial. Superconducting
qubits, small electrical circuits with quantized energy levels behave like electrons
that transition between different orbitals in an atom. One of the qubits' advantages,
is also a big disadvantage. We design the circuits' energy levels and fabricate
them in a cleanroom. This allows for arbitrary spaced energy levels but in contrast
to real atoms, prevents two superconducting qubits from being alike. Still, this
qubit platform is one of the frontrunners for future quantum computing technology
and testing fundamental physics due to their scalability.\r\n\r\nWe interface
superconducting qubits, which operate in the GHz regime, with microwave photons.
We use 3D aluminum cavities as mediators between qubits and photons. The cavities
allow for non-destructive readout of the qubit state, they shield the qubits from
noise at the qubit frequency and they give us an easy way to frequency-tune these
joint systems.\r\n\r\nWe need to operate superconducting qubits and their cavities
at millikelvin temperatures in dilution refrigerators. At higher temperatures,
superconductivity suffers and even worse, the environment is filled with thermal
noise photons. This poses a fundamental limitation on the scalability of superconducting
qubit devices. Also connecting multiple devices in different fridges does not
work over room temperature links because the microwave photons used for this purpose
will be covered in noise and the quantum information they carry, will be unusable.\r\n\r\nInfrared
photons do not suffer from this noise problem since there are close to zero thermal
noise photons at their frequencies at room temperature. We cannot simply interface
superconducting devices with optical photons due their frequency mismatch and
the destructive effect of optical photons on superconductors. Therefore, we use
microwave-to-optics transducers that allow to convert microwave photons into optical
ones and vice-versa. The transducers that we use are macroscopic electro-optic
transducers using the Pockels effect in a disk-shaped Lithium Niobate whispering
gallery mode resonator. By using a strong optical pump, photons from the two frequency
domains experience a beam-splitter interaction and get converted from one to the
other.\r\n\r\nWe measure the generated optical photons using elaborate optical
setups, optical heterodyning and single photon detectors to gain knowledge about
the qubit state or the converted microwave photons. Bridging the microwave and
the optical world allows us to take advantage of both of their strengths but it
also requires deep knowledge about both of their working principles.\r\n\r\nIn
this work, we describe two experiments that our group conducted to showcase the
opportunities that arise from interfacing superconducting qubits with optical
photons but also the pitfalls, one may encounter on the way.\r\n\r\nIn the first
experiment, we managed to all-optically read out a superconducting qubit. We show
that the assignment fidelity, the probability that a measurement of the qubit
state matches the prepared state, is close to equal for all-optical, microwave-to-optics
and conventional microwave readout. We show T1 and T2 measurements for all three
readout types and give an analysis of the noise caused by the optics. Finally,
we show that the infrared light does not affect the qubit performance in a negative
way but that the heating it causes does. This is an important insight that we
used in the next experiment.\r\n\r\nThe second experiment is the upconversion
of itinerant single microwave photons to the optical domain. We show that we can
generate single microwave photons from a qubit-cavity system. We upconvert these
single photons, measure them with a single photon detector and reconstruct their
shape. By conducting a single photon Rabi measurement, we show correlations between
the microwave and the optical domain. And by thorough signal-to-noise measurements
and noise analysis, we find that we can generate single infrared photons with
high signal-to-noise ratio 5.1 and low transducer added noise (<0.012 quanta).
We show that this measurement creates a path towards entanglement of a superconducting
qubit and an optical photon and what parameters need to be improved to achieve
it. Additionally, this experiment is a proof of principle for an on-demand infrared
single photon source. More generally, it allows to link microwave quantum technology
in general to the optical domain."

text: 'Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a fundamental second messenger involved
in diverse signaling pathways across both animals and plants. While the role of
3′,5′-cAMP has been extensively characterized, the biological significance of
its structural isomer, 2′,3′-cAMP, remains largely unexplored, particularly in
plants. Here, we show that 2′,3′-cAMP and 3′,5′-cAMP represent parallel signaling
systems in Arabidopsis thaliana, with different enzymatic origins and largely
distinct downstream effects. In vitro enzymatic assays show that plant adenylate
cyclases (ACs), including AFB5 and HpAC1, produce specifically 3′,5′-cAMP from
ATP, whereas the TIR domain of protein L7 also catalyzes the formation of 2′,3′-cAMP
from RNA. Comprehensive multiomics analyses reveal that two isomers elicit distinct
yet partially overlapping metabolic, proteomic, and transcriptional response:
2′,3′-cAMP activates broad, stress-adaptive gene expression reprogramming, while
3′,5′-cAMP fine-tunes responses related to nutrient status and cellular homeostasis.
Our findings establish the existence of dual cAMP signaling systems in plants,
each with specialized functions and provide insights into the complex regulatory
networks governing plant physiology.'

text: The generation of faithful cell-type diversity and correct projection neuron
numbers is essential for cerebral cortex development. Corticogenesis is however
susceptible to genetic interference of critical signaling pathways, including
mutations in Mtor/Rptor that lead to microcephaly. How the loss of Rptor/mTORC1
function affects cortical developmental programs, at single cell level, is still
unknown. Here, we utilized Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers (MADM) technology
to probe Rptor gene function upon sparse single cell- or global tissue-wide ablation.
We found that tissue-wide effects drive the etiology of cortical microcephaly
upon loss of Rptor, rather than deficits in projection neuron genesis. Conversely,
Rptor function is cell-autonomously required for postnatal projection neuron survival
in a highly cell-type-specific manner. Collectively, our results suggest that
the fine balance of precise cell-type-specific cell-autonomous Rptor/mTORC1 function
in concert with non-cell-autonomous tissue-wide effects is essential for the development
of a properly-sized cerebral cortex with accurate projection neuron diversity.

text: The cerebral cortex consists of immense numbers of neuronal and glial cell-types
derived from radial glial progenitor (RGP) cells. How RGPs generate appropriate
quantities of distinct cortical cell-types to safeguard a brain of correct size,
is not well understood. However, genetic aberration in human, including mutations
in PTEN, lead to cortical malformation such as macrocephaly, albeit with unknown
etiology. Here we utilized Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers (MADM)-based clonal
analysis and single cell phenotyping to decipher the role of Pten in neurogenic
and gliogenic RGP lineage progression during cortical ontogeny. While neurogenic
RGP lineage progression and projection neuron production was moderately altered
in the absence of Pten, cortical astrocyte production was drastically increased.
Through genetic epistasis experiments we show that the loss of Pten uncouples
astrocyte generation from essential growth factor signaling hubs, funneling into
MAPK. Collectively, our results suggest that Pten regulates RGP lineage progression
with distinct sequential functions in cortical projection neurogenesis and astrocyte
production to ensure the emergence of a correctly-sized cerebral cortex.

text: 'Protein conformational energy landscapes are shaped not only by intramolecular
interactions but also by their environment. In protein crystals and protein-protein
complexes, intermolecular contacts alter this energy landscape, but the exact
nature of this alteration is difficult to decipher. Understanding how the crystal
lattice affects protein dynamics is crucial for crystallography-based studies
of motion, yet its influence on collective motions remains unclear. Aromatic ring
flips in the hydrophobic core represent sensitive probes of such dynamics. Here,
we compare the kinetics of aromatic ring flips in the protein GB1 in crystals,
in complex with its binding partner IgG, and in solution, combining advanced isotope
labeling with quantitative NMR methods. We show that rings in the core flip nearly
a thousand times less frequently in crystals than in solution. Enhanced-sampling
molecular dynamics simulations, based on a new crystal structure, reproduce these
elevated barriers and reveal how the crystal restrains motions. '

text: 'Despite the functional diversity of over 100 causal genes1,2,3, phenotypic
convergence across models may reveal common neurobiological processes in autism
spectrum disorder (ASD). Here we profiled 251 samples from 11 monogenic mouse
models of ASD using single-nucleus multi-omic sequencing across three developmental
stages, both sexes and two brain regions. Despite genetic heterogeneity, ASD-linked
mutations converged on perturbations of the radial glial cell lineage. These alterations
reflect a transient developmental delay rather than lasting lineage misspecification
and resolve by postnatal stages. Molecularly, the largest transcriptional differences
emerged in neurons at early postnatal stages. These changes included downregulation
of synaptic and ion channel-related genes, consistent with homeostatic adaptation
or delayed maturation. Network analysis showed molecular convergence across models
within each developmental stage, suggesting that diverse mutations linked to ASD
impinge on common, stage-specific processes. Convergence becomes less pronounced
by postnatal day 14, highlighting the dynamic nature of ASD-associated changes.
Cross-genotype heterogeneity is superimposed on stage-specific effects. Electrophysiology
corroborated this pattern: mutants generally showed altered neuronal excitability
and synaptic properties with model-specific nuances. Our study also highlighted
sex-specific gene expression alterations, with female mice often displaying larger
effect sizes than male mice. Together, our findings provide a comprehensive view
of developmental cellular and molecular dynamics across models of ASD.'
