text: Cell-cell contact formation constitutes an essential step in evolution, leading
to the differentiation of specialized cell types. However, remarkably little is
known about whether and how the interplay between contact formation and fate specification
affects development. Here, we identify a positive feedback loop between cell-cell
contact duration, morphogen signaling, and mesendoderm cell-fate specification
during zebrafish gastrulation. We show that long-lasting cell-cell contacts enhance
the competence of prechordal plate (ppl) progenitor cells to respond to Nodal
signaling, required for ppl cell-fate specification. We further show that Nodal
signaling promotes ppl cell-cell contact duration, generating a positive feedback
loop between ppl cell-cell contact duration and cell-fate specification. Finally,
by combining mathematical modeling and experimentation, we show that this feedback
determines whether anterior axial mesendoderm cells become ppl or, instead, turn
into endoderm. Thus, the interdependent activities of cell-cell signaling and
contact formation control fate diversification within the developing embryo.

text: In many applications, it is desirable to extract only the relevant aspects
of data. A principled way to do this is the information bottleneck (IB) method,
where one seeks a code that maximises information about a relevance variable,
Y, while constraining the information encoded about the original data, X. Unfortunately
however, the IB method is computationally demanding when data are high-dimensional
and/or non-gaussian. Here we propose an approximate variational scheme for maximising
a lower bound on the IB objective, analogous to variational EM. Using this method,
we derive an IB algorithm to recover features that are both relevant and sparse.
Finally, we demonstrate how kernelised versions of the algorithm can be used to
address a broad range of problems with non-linear relation between X and Y.

text: Jointly characterizing neural responses in terms of several external variables
promises novel insights into circuit function, but remains computationally prohibitive
in practice. Here we use gaussian process (GP) priors and exploit recent advances
in fast GP inference and learning based on Kronecker methods, to efficiently estimate
multidimensional nonlinear tuning functions. Our estimator require considerably
less data than traditional methods and further provides principled uncertainty
estimates. We apply these tools to hippocampal recordings during open field exploration
and use them to characterize the joint dependence of CA1 responses on the position
of the animal and several other variables, including the animal\'s speed, direction
of motion, and network oscillations.Our results provide an unprecedentedly detailed
quantification of the tuning of hippocampal neurons. The model\'s generality suggests
that our approach can be used to estimate neural response properties in other
brain regions.

text: The increasing complexity of dynamic models in systems and synthetic biology
poses computational challenges especially for the identification of model parameters.
While modularization of the corresponding optimization problems could help reduce
the “curse of dimensionality,” abundant feedback and crosstalk mechanisms prohibit
a simple decomposition of most biomolecular networks into subnetworks, or modules.
Drawing on ideas from network modularization and multiple-shooting optimization,
we present here a modular parameter identification approach that explicitly allows
for such interdependencies. Interfaces between our modules are given by the experimentally
measured molecular species. This definition allows deriving good (initial) estimates
for the inter-module communication directly from the experimental data. Given
these estimates, the states and parameter sensitivities of different modules can
be integrated independently. To achieve consistency between modules, we iteratively
adjust the estimates for inter-module communication while optimizing the parameters.
After convergence to an optimal parameter set---but not during earlier iterations---the
intermodule communication as well as the individual modules\' state dynamics agree
with the dynamics of the nonmodularized network. Our modular parameter identification
approach allows for easy parallelization; it can reduce the computational complexity
for larger networks and decrease the probability to converge to suboptimal local
minima. We demonstrate the algorithm\'s performance in parameter estimation for
two biomolecular networks, a synthetic genetic oscillator and a mammalian signaling
pathway.

text: "We consider a population dynamics model coupling cell growth to a diffusion
in the space of metabolic phenotypes as it can be obtained from realistic constraints-based
modelling. \r\nIn the asymptotic regime of slow\r\ndiffusion, that coincides with
the relevant experimental range, the resulting\r\nnon-linear Fokker–Planck equation
is solved for the steady state in the WKB\r\napproximation that maps it into the
ground state of a quantum particle in an\r\nAiry potential plus a centrifugal
term. We retrieve scaling laws for growth rate\r\nfluctuations and time response
with respect to the distance from the maximum\r\ngrowth rate suggesting that suboptimal

text: Haemophilus haemolyticus has been recently discovered to have the potential
to cause invasive disease. It is closely related to nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae
(NT H. influenzae). NT H. influenzae and H. haemolyticus are often misidentified
because none of the existing tests targeting the known phenotypes of H. haemolyticus
are able to specifically identify H. haemolyticus. Through comparative genomic
analysis of H. haemolyticus and NT H. influenzae, we identified genes unique to
H. haemolyticus that can be used as targets for the identification of H. haemolyticus.
A real-time PCR targeting purT (encoding phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase
2 in the purine synthesis pathway) was developed and evaluated. The lower limit
of detection was 40 genomes/PCR; the sensitivity and specificity in detecting
H. haemolyticus were 98.9% and 97%, respectively. To improve the discrimination
of H. haemolyticus and NT H. influenzae, a testing scheme combining two targets
(H. haemolyticus purT and H. influenzae hpd, encoding protein D lipoprotein) was
also evaluated and showed 96.7% sensitivity and 98.2% specificity for the identification
of H. haemolyticus and 92.8% sensitivity and 100% specificity for the identification
of H. influenzae, respectively. The dual-target testing scheme can be used for
the diagnosis and surveillance of infection and disease caused by H. haemolyticus
and NT H. influenzae.

text: 'With the accelerated development of robot technologies, optimal control becomes
one of the central themes of research. In traditional approaches, the controller,
by its internal functionality, finds appropriate actions on the basis of the history
of sensor values, guided by the goals, intentions, objectives, learning schemes,
and so forth. While very successful with classical robots, these methods run into
severe difficulties when applied to soft robots, a new field of robotics with
large interest for human-robot interaction. We claim that a novel controller paradigm
opens new perspective for this field. This paper applies a recently developed
neuro controller with differential extrinsic synaptic plasticity to a muscle-tendon
driven arm-shoulder system from the Myorobotics toolkit. In the experiments, we
observe a vast variety of self-organized behavior patterns: when left alone, the
arm realizes pseudo-random sequences of different poses. By applying physical
forces, the system can be entrained into definite motion patterns like wiping
a table. Most interestingly, after attaching an object, the controller gets in
a functional resonance with the object''s internal dynamics, starting to shake
spontaneously bottles half-filled with water or sensitively driving an attached
pendulum into a circular mode. When attached to the crank of a wheel the neural
system independently develops to rotate it. In this way, the robot discovers affordances
of objects its body is interacting with.'

text: Theoretical and numerical aspects of aerodynamic efficiency of propulsion
systems coupled to the boundary layer of a fuselage are studied. We discuss the
effects of local flow fields, which are affected both by conservative flow acceleration
as well as total pressure losses, on the efficiency of boundary layer immersed
propulsion devices. We introduce the concept of a boundary layer retardation turbine
that helps reduce skin friction over the fuselage. We numerically investigate
efficiency gains offered by boundary layer and wake interacting devices. We discuss
the results in terms of a total energy consumption framework and show that efficiency
gains of any device depend on all the other elements of the propulsion system.

text: A crucial step in the regulation of gene expression is binding of transcription
factor (TF) proteins to regulatory sites along the DNA. But transcription factors
act at nanomolar concentrations, and noise due to random arrival of these molecules
at their binding sites can severely limit the precision of regulation. Recent
work on the optimization of information flow through regulatory networks indicates
that the lower end of the dynamic range of concentrations is simply inaccessible,
overwhelmed by the impact of this noise. Motivated by the behavior of homeodomain
proteins, such as the maternal morphogen Bicoid in the fruit fly embryo, we suggest
a scheme in which transcription factors also act as indirect translational regulators,
binding to the mRNA of other regulatory proteins. Intuitively, each mRNA molecule
acts as an independent sensor of the input concentration, and averaging over these
multiple sensors reduces the noise. We analyze information flow through this scheme
and identify conditions under which it outperforms direct transcriptional regulation.
Our results suggest that the dual role of homeodomain proteins is not just a historical
accident, but a solution to a crucial physics problem in the regulation of gene
expression.
