text: Chromosomes in the eukaryotic nucleus are highly compacted. However, for many
functional processes, including transcription initiation, the pairwise motion
of distal chromosomal elements such as enhancers and promoters is essential and
necessitates dynamic fluidity. Here, we used a live-imaging assay to simultaneously
measure the positions of pairs of enhancers and promoters and their transcriptional
output while systematically varying the genomic separation between these two DNA
loci. Our analysis reveals the coexistence of a compact globular organization
and fast subdiffusive dynamics. These combined features cause an anomalous scaling
of polymer relaxation times with genomic separation leading to long-ranged correlations.
Thus, encounter times of DNA loci are much less dependent on genomic distance
than predicted by existing polymer models, with potential consequences for eukaryotic
gene expression.

text: 'Branching morphogenesis is a ubiquitous process that gives rise to high exchange
surfaces in the vasculature and epithelial organs. Lymphatic capillaries form
branched networks, which play a key role in the circulation of tissue fluid and
immune cells. Although mouse models and correlative patient data indicate that
the lymphatic capillary density directly correlates with functional output, i.e.,
tissue fluid drainage and trafficking efficiency of dendritic cells, the mechanisms
ensuring efficient tissue coverage remain poorly understood. Here, we use the
mouse ear pinna lymphatic vessel network as a model system and combine lineage-tracing,
genetic perturbations, whole-organ reconstructions and theoretical modeling to
show that the dermal lymphatic capillaries tile space in an optimal, space-filling
manner. This coverage is achieved by two complementary mechanisms: initial tissue
invasion provides a non-optimal global scaffold via self-organized branching morphogenesis,
while VEGF-C dependent side-branching from existing capillaries rapidly optimizes
local coverage by directionally targeting low-density regions. With these two
ingredients, we show that a minimal biophysical model can reproduce quantitatively
whole-network reconstructions, across development and perturbations. Our results
show that lymphatic capillary networks can exploit local self-organizing mechanisms
to achieve tissue-scale optimization.'

text: Immune responses rely on the rapid and coordinated migration of leukocytes.
Whereas it is well established that single-cell migration is often guided by gradients
of chemokines and other chemoattractants, it remains poorly understood how these
gradients are generated, maintained, and modulated. By combining experimental
data with theory on leukocyte chemotaxis guided by the G protein–coupled receptor
(GPCR) CCR7, we demonstrate that in addition to its role as the sensory receptor
that steers migration, CCR7 also acts as a generator and a modulator of chemotactic
gradients. Upon exposure to the CCR7 ligand CCL19, dendritic cells (DCs) effectively
internalize the receptor and ligand as part of the canonical GPCR desensitization
response. We show that CCR7 internalization also acts as an effective sink for
the chemoattractant, dynamically shaping the spatiotemporal distribution of the
chemokine. This mechanism drives complex collective migration patterns, enabling
DCs to create or sharpen chemotactic gradients. We further show that these self-generated
gradients can sustain the long-range guidance of DCs, adapt collective migration
patterns to the size and geometry of the environment, and provide a guidance cue
for other comigrating cells. Such a dual role of CCR7 as a GPCR that both senses
and consumes its ligand can thus provide a novel mode of cellular self-organization.

text: Homeostatic balance in the intestinal epithelium relies on a fast cellular
turnover, which is coordinated by an intricate interplay between biochemical signalling,
mechanical forces and organ geometry. We review recent modelling approaches that
have been developed to understand different facets of this remarkable homeostatic
equilibrium. Existing models offer different, albeit complementary, perspectives
on the problem. First, biomechanical models aim to explain the local and global
mechanical stresses driving cell renewal as well as tissue shape maintenance.
Second, compartmental models provide insights into the conditions necessary to
keep a constant flow of cells with well-defined ratios of cell types, and how
perturbations can lead to an unbalance of relative compartment sizes. A third
family of models address, at the cellular level, the nature and regulation of
stem fate choices that are necessary to fuel cellular turnover. We also review
how these different approaches are starting to be integrated together across scales,
to provide quantitative predictions and new conceptual frameworks to think about
the dynamics of cell renewal in complex tissues.

text: Understanding complex living systems, which are fundamentally constrained
by physical phenomena, requires combining experimental data with theoretical physical
and mathematical models. To develop such models, collaborations between experimental
cell biologists and theoreticians are increasingly important but these two groups
often face challenges achieving mutual understanding. To help navigate these challenges,
this Perspective discusses different modelling approaches, including bottom-up
hypothesis-driven and top-down data-driven models, and highlights their strengths
and applications. Using cell mechanics as an example, we explore the integration
of specific physical models with experimental data from the molecular, cellular
and tissue level up to multiscale input. We also emphasize the importance of constraining
model complexity and outline strategies for crosstalk between experimental design
and model development. Furthermore, we highlight how physical models can provide
conceptual insights and produce unifying and generalizable frameworks for biological
phenomena. Overall, this Perspective aims to promote fruitful collaborations that
advance our understanding of complex biological systems.

text: When in equilibrium, thermal forces agitate molecules, which then diffuse,
collide and bind to form materials. However, the space of accessible structures
in which micron-scale particles can be organized by thermal forces is limited,
owing to the slow dynamics and metastable states. Active agents in a passive fluid
generate forces and flows, forming a bath with active fluctuations. Two unanswered
questions are whether those active agents can drive the assembly of passive components
into unconventional states and which material properties they will exhibit. Here
we show that passive, sticky beads immersed in a bath of swimming Escherichia
coli bacteria aggregate into unconventional clusters and gels that are controlled
by the activity of the bath. We observe a slow but persistent rotation of the
aggregates that originates in the chirality of the E. coli flagella and directs
aggregation into structures that are not accessible thermally. We elucidate the
aggregation mechanism with a numerical model of spinning, sticky beads and reproduce
quantitatively the experimental results. We show that internal activity controls
the phase diagram and the structure of the aggregates. Overall, our results highlight
the promising role of active baths in designing the structural and mechanical
properties of materials with unconventional phases.

text: The emergence of large-scale order in self-organized systems relies on local
interactions between individual components. During bacterial cell division, FtsZ—a
prokaryotic homologue of the eukaryotic protein tubulin—polymerizes into treadmilling
filaments that further organize into a cytoskeletal ring. In vitro, FtsZ filaments
can form dynamic chiral assemblies. However, how the active and passive properties
of individual filaments relate to these large-scale self-organized structures
remains poorly understood. Here we connect single-filament properties with the
mesoscopic scale by combining minimal active matter simulations and biochemical
reconstitution experiments. We show that the density and flexibility of active
chiral filaments define their global order. At intermediate densities, curved,
flexible filaments organize into chiral rings and polar bands. An effectively
nematic organization dominates for high densities and for straight, mutant filaments
with increased rigidity. Our predicted phase diagram quantitatively captures these
features, demonstrating how the flexibility, density and chirality of the active
filaments affect their collective behaviour. Our findings shed light on the fundamental
properties of active chiral matter and explain how treadmilling FtsZ filaments
organize during bacterial cell division.

text: 'Lymph nodes (LNs) comprise two main structural elements: fibroblastic reticular
cells that form dedicated niches for immune cell interaction and capsular fibroblasts
that build a shell around the organ. Immunological challenge causes LNs to increase
more than tenfold in size within a few days. Here, we characterized the biomechanics
of LN swelling on the cellular and organ scale. We identified lymphocyte trapping
by influx and proliferation as drivers of an outward pressure force, causing fibroblastic
reticular cells of the T-zone (TRCs) and their associated conduits to stretch.
After an initial phase of relaxation, TRCs sensed the resulting strain through
cell matrix adhesions, which coordinated local growth and remodeling of the stromal
network. While the expanded TRC network readopted its typical configuration, a
massive fibrotic reaction of the organ capsule set in and countered further organ
expansion. Thus, different fibroblast populations mechanically control LN swelling
in a multitier fashion.'

text: "Cell dispersion from a confined area is fundamental in a number of biological
processes,\r\nincluding cancer metastasis. To date, a quantitative understanding
of the interplay of single\r\ncell motility, cell proliferation, and intercellular
contacts remains elusive. In particular, the role\r\nof E- and N-Cadherin junctions,
central components of intercellular contacts, is still\r\ncontroversial. Combining
theoretical modeling with in vitro observations, we investigate the\r\ncollective
spreading behavior of colonies of human cancer cells (T24). The spreading of these\r\ncolonies
is driven by stochastic single-cell migration with frequent transient cell-cell
contacts.\r\nWe find that inhibition of E- and N-Cadherin junctions decreases
colony spreading and average\r\nspreading velocities, without affecting the strength
of correlations in spreading velocities of\r\nneighboring cells. Based on a biophysical
simulation model for cell migration, we show that the\r\nbehavioral changes upon
disruption of these junctions can be explained by reduced repulsive\r\nexcluded
volume interactions between cells. This suggests that in cancer cell migration,\r\ncadherin-based
intercellular contacts sharpen cell boundaries leading to repulsive rather than\r\ncohesive
interactions between cells, thereby promoting efficient cell spreading during
collective\r\nmigration.\r\n"

text: Although rigidity and jamming transitions have been widely studied in physics
and material science, their importance in a number of biological processes, including
embryo development, tissue homeostasis, wound healing, and disease progression,
has only begun to be recognized in the past few years. The hypothesis that biological
systems can undergo rigidity/jamming transitions is attractive, as it would allow
these systems to change their material properties rapidly and strongly. However,
whether such transitions indeed occur in biological systems, how they are being
regulated, and what their physiological relevance might be, is still being debated.
Here, we review theoretical and experimental advances from the past few years,
focusing on the regulation and role of potential tissue rigidity transitions in
different biological processes.
