Self-organised structures in mixed active-passive suspensions due to hydrodynamic interactions

Alexander Chamolly, Takuji Ishikawa

Microswimmers in suspension exhibit collective swimming behaviour, forming various self-organised structures including ordered, aggregated, and turbulent-like structures. When mixe…

Ridge-penalised spectral least-squares estimation for point processes

Miguel Martinez Herrera, Felix Cheysson

Penalised estimation methods for point processes usually rely on a large amount of independent repetitions for cross-validation purposes. However, in the case of a single realisati…

The Physics of Sustainability: Material and Power Constraints for the Long Term

José Halloy, Petros Chatzimpiros, François Graner +1

Much of today's sustainability discourse emphasizes efficiency, clean technologies, and smart systems, but largely underestimates fundamental physical constraints relating to energ…

F-BIAS: Towards a distributed national core facility for Bioimage Analysis

Mélodie Ambroset, Marie Anselmet, Clément Benedetti +18

We discuss in this article the creation and organization of a national core facility for bioimage analysis, based on a distributed team. F-BIAS federates bioimage analysts across F…

Scale invariance in early embryonic development

Miloš Nikolić, Victoria Antonetti, Feng Liu +6

The body plan of the fruit fly is determined by the expression of just a handful of genes. We show that the spatial patterns of expression for several of these genes scale precisel…

Finding the last bits of positional information

Lauren McGough, Helena Casademunt, Miloš Nikolić +3

In a developing embryo, information about the position of cells is encoded in the concentrations of "morphogen" molecules. In the fruit fly, the local concentrations of just a hand…

Gene activity fully predicts transcriptional bursting dynamics

Po-Ta Chen, Michal Levo, Benjamin Zoller +1

Transcription commonly occurs in bursts, with alternating productive (ON) and quiescent (OFF) periods, governing mRNA production rates. Yet, how transcription is regulated through…

Precise and scalable self-organization in mammalian pseudo-embryos

Melody Merle, Leah Friedman, Corinne Chureau +2

Gene expression is inherently noisy, posing a challenge to understanding how precise and reproducible patterns of gene expression emerge in mammals. We investigate this phenomenon…

Structured foraging of soil predators unveils functional responses to bacterial defenses

Fernando W. Rossine, Gabriel Vercelli, Corina E. Tarnita +1

Predators and their foraging strategies often determine ecosystem structure and function. Yet, the role of protozoan predators in microbial soil ecosystems remains elusive despite…

Fluid mechanics of free subduction on a sphere, 1: The axisymmetric case

Alexander Chamolly, Neil M. Ribe

To understand how spherical geometry influences the dynamics of gravity-driven subduction of oceanic lithosphere on Earth, we study a simple model of a thin and dense axisymmetric…

Trading bits in the readout from a genetic network

Marianne Bauer, Mariela D. Petkova, Thomas Gregor +2

In genetic networks, information of relevance to the organism is represented by the concentrations of transcription factor molecules. In order to extract this information the cell…

Optimal decoding of information from a genetic network

Mariela D. Petkova, Gašper Tkačik, William Bialek +2

Gene expression levels carry information about signals that have functional significance for the organism. Using the gap gene network in the fruit fly embryo as an example, we show…
