--- _id: '13261' abstract: - lang: eng 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. acknowledgement: This work was supported in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Center for the Physics of Biological Function (grant PHY-1734030), and the National Institutes of Health (grants R01GM097275, U01DA047730, and U01DK127429).

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.' acknowledgement: "We thank Dr. Kari Alitalo (University of Helsinki and Wihuri Research Institute) for critical reading of the manuscript, providing Vegfc+/− and Clp24ΔEC mouse strains and for hosting K.V.’s Academy of Finland postdoctoral researcher period (2015–2018).

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. acknowledgement: "We thank I. de Vries and the Scientific Service Units (Life Sciences, Bioimaging, Nanofabrication, Preclinical and Miba Machine Shop) of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria for excellent support, as well as all the rotation students assisting in the laboratory work (B.

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. acknowledgement: "This work received funding from the ERC under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 851288 to E.H.).\r\nB.

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. acknowledgement: "We thank Prisca Liberali and Edouard Hannezo for many inspiring discussions; Mehmet Can Uçar, Nicoletta I Petridou and Qiutan Yang for a critical reading of the manuscript, and Claudia Flandoli for the artwork in Figs 2 and 3.

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. acknowledgement: D.G. and J.P. thank E.

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. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc acknowledgement: 'This work was supported by the European Research Council through grant ERC 2015-StG-679239 and by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) StandAlone P34607 to M.L., B.

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.

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" acknowledgement: Funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) - Project-ID 201269156 - SFB 1032 (Projects B8 and B12).

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. acknowledgement: We thank present and former members of the Heisenberg and Hannezo groups, in particular Bernat Corominas-Murtra and Nicoletta Petridou, for helpful discussions, and Claudia Flandoli for the artwork.
