text: "Mosaic analysis with double markers (MADM) technology enables the sparse
labeling of genetically defined neurons. We present a protocol for time-lapse
imaging of cortical projection neuron migration in mice using MADM. We describe
steps for the isolation, culturing, and 4D imaging of neuronal dynamics in MADM-labeled
brain tissue. While this protocol is compatible with other single-cell labeling
methods, the MADM approach provides a genetic platform for the functional assessment
of cell-autonomous candidate gene function and the relative contribution of non-cell-autonomous
effects.\r\n\r\nFor complete details on the use and execution of this protocol,

text: The plant-signaling molecule auxin triggers fast and slow cellular responses
across land plants and algae. The nuclear auxin pathway mediates gene expression
and controls growth and development in land plants, but this pathway is absent
from algal sister groups. Several components of rapid responses have been identified
in Arabidopsis, but it is unknown if these are part of a conserved mechanism.
We recently identified a fast, proteome-wide phosphorylation response to auxin.
Here, we show that this response occurs across 5 land plant and algal species
and converges on a core group of shared targets. We found conserved rapid physiological
responses to auxin in the same species and identified rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma
(RAF)-like protein kinases as central mediators of auxin-triggered phosphorylation
across species. Genetic analysis connects this kinase to both auxin-triggered
protein phosphorylation and rapid cellular response, thus identifying an ancient
mechanism for fast auxin responses in the green lineage.

text: Bacteria divide by binary fission. The protein machine responsible for this
process is the divisome, a transient assembly of more than 30 proteins in and
on the surface of the cytoplasmic membrane. Together, they constrict the cell
envelope and remodel the peptidoglycan layer to eventually split the cell into
two. For Escherichia coli, most molecular players involved in this process have
probably been identified, but obtaining the quantitative information needed for
a mechanistic understanding can often not be achieved from experiments in vivo
alone. Since the discovery of the Z-ring more than 30 years ago, in vitro reconstitution
experiments have been crucial to shed light on molecular processes normally hidden
in the complex environment of the living cell. In this review, we summarize how
rebuilding the divisome from purified components – or at least parts of it - have
been instrumental to obtain the detailed mechanistic understanding of the bacterial
cell division machinery that we have today.

text: The physical conditions giving rise to high escape fractions of ionizing radiation
(LyC fesc) in star-forming galaxies – most likely protagonists of cosmic reionization
– are not yet fully understood. Using the VLT/MUSE observations of ∼1400 Ly α
emitters at 2.9 < z < 6.7, we compare stacked rest-frame UV spectra
of candidates for LyC leakers and non-leakers selected based on their Ly α profiles.
We find that the stacks of potential LyC leakers, i.e. galaxies with narrow, symmetric
Ly α profiles with small peak separation, generally show (i) strong nebular O iii]λ1666,
[Si iii]λ1883, and [C iii]λ1907 +C iii]λ1909 emission, indicating a high-ionization
state of the interstellar medium (ISM); (ii) high equivalent widths of He iiλ1640
(∼1 − 3 Å), suggesting the presence of hard ionizing radiation fields; (iii) Si ii*λ1533
emission, revealing substantial amounts of neutral hydrogen off the line of sight;
(iv) high C ivλλ1548,1550 to [C iii]λ1907 +C iii]λ1909 ratios (C iv/C iii] ≳0.75)
, signalling the presence of low column density channels in the ISM. In contrast,
the stacks with broad, asymmetric Ly α profiles with large peak separation show
weak nebular emission lines, low He iiλ1640 equivalent widths (≲1 Å), and low
C iv/C iii] (≲0.25), implying low-ionization states and high-neutral hydrogen
column densities. Our results suggest that C iv/C iii] might be sensitive to the
physical conditions that govern LyC photon escape, providing a promising tool
for identification of ionizing sources among star-forming galaxies in the epoch
of reionization.

text: Elaborate sexual signals are thought to have evolved and be maintained to
serve as honest indicators of signaller quality. One measure of quality is health,
which can be affected by parasite infection. Cnemaspis mysoriensis is a diurnal
gecko that is often infested with ectoparasites in the wild, and males of this
species express visual (coloured gular patches) and chemical (femoral gland secretions)
traits that receivers could assess during social interactions. In this paper,
we tested whether ectoparasites affect individual health, and whether signal quality
is an indicator of ectoparasite levels. In wild lizards, we found that ectoparasite
level was negatively correlated with body condition in both sexes. Moreover, some
characteristics of both visual and chemical traits in males were strongly associated
with ectoparasite levels. Specifically, males with higher ectoparasite levels
had yellow gular patches with lower brightness and chroma, and chemical secretions
with a lower proportion of aromatic compounds. We then determined whether ectoparasite
levels in males influence female behaviour. Using sequential choice trials, wherein
females were provided with either the visual or the chemical signals of wild-caught
males that varied in ectoparasite level, we found that only chemical secretions
evoked an elevated female response towards less parasitised males. Simultaneous
choice trials in which females were exposed to the chemical secretions from males
that varied in parasite level further confirmed a preference for males with lower
parasites loads. Overall, we find that although health (body condition) or ectoparasite
load can be honestly advertised through multiple modalities, the parasite-mediated
female response is exclusively driven by chemical signals.
