--- _id: '27' abstract: - lang: eng text: The cerebral cortex is composed of a large variety of distinct cell-types including projection neurons, interneurons and glial cells which emerge from distinct neural stem cell (NSC) lineages. The vast majority of cortical projection neurons and certain classes of glial cells are generated by radial glial progenitor cells (RGPs) in a highly orchestrated manner. Recent studies employing single cell analysis and clonal lineage tracing suggest that NSC and RGP lineage progression are regulated in a profound deterministic manner. In this review we focus on recent advances based mainly on correlative phenotypic data emerging from functional genetic studies in mice. We establish hypotheses to test in future research and outline a conceptual framework how epigenetic cues modulate the generation of cell-type diversity during cortical development.

The extent by which forces deform tissues critically depends on the rheological properties of the recipient tissue. Yet, whether and how dynamic changes in tissue rheology affect tissue morphogenesis and how they are regulated within the developing organism remain unclear. Here, we show that blastoderm spreading at the onset of zebrafish morphogenesis relies on a rapid, pronounced and spatially patterned tissue fluidization. Blastoderm fluidization is temporally controlled by mitotic cell rounding-dependent cell–cell contact disassembly during the last rounds of cell cleavages. Moreover, fluidization is spatially restricted to the central blastoderm by local activation of non-canonical Wnt signalling within the blastoderm margin, increasing cell cohesion and thereby counteracting the effect of mitotic rounding on contact disassembly. Overall, our results identify a fluidity transition mediated by loss of cell cohesion as a critical regulator of embryo morphogenesis. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Nicoletta full_name: Petridou, Nicoletta id: 2A003F6C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Petridou orcid: 0000-0002-8451-1195 - first_name: Silvia full_name: Grigolon, Silvia last_name: Grigolon - first_name: Guillaume full_name: Salbreux, Guillaume last_name: Salbreux - first_name: Edouard B full_name: Hannezo, Edouard B id: 3A9DB764-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hannezo orcid: 0000-0001-6005-1561 - first_name: Carl-Philipp J full_name: Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J id: 39427864-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Heisenberg orcid: 0000-0002-0912-4566 citation: ama: Petridou N, Grigolon S, Salbreux G, Hannezo EB, Heisenberg C-PJ.

The identity of the abelian group is a fractal composed of self-similar patches, and its limit is subject of extensive collaborative research. Here, we analyze the evolution of the sandpile identity under harmonic fields of different orders. We show that this evolution corresponds to periodic cycles through the abelian group characterized by the smooth transformation and apparent conservation of the patches constituting the identity. The dynamics induced by second and third order harmonics resemble smooth stretchings, respectively translations, of the identity, while the ones induced by fourth order harmonics resemble magnifications and rotations. Starting with order three, the dynamics pass through extended regions of seemingly random configurations which spontaneously reassemble into accentuated patterns. We show that the space of harmonic functions projects to the extended analogue of the sandpile group, thus providing a set of universal coordinates identifying configurations between different domains. Since the original sandpile group is a subgroup of the extended one, this directly implies that it admits a natural renormalization. Furthermore, we show that the harmonic fields can be induced by simple Markov processes, and that the corresponding stochastic dynamics show remarkable robustness over hundreds of periods. Finally, we encode information into seemingly random configurations, and decode this information with an algorithm requiring minimal prior knowledge. Our results suggest that harmonic fields might split the sandpile group into sub-sets showing different critical coefficients, and that it might be possible to extend the fractal structure of the identity beyond the boundaries of its domain.

Analyzing the representations of more than\r\n\\num{12600} trained state-of-the-art disentangled models, we observe that\r\nseveral disentanglement scores are consistently correlated with increased\r\nfairness, suggesting that disentanglement may be a useful property to encourage\r\nfairness when sensitive variables are not observed." article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Francesco full_name: Locatello, Francesco id: 26cfd52f-2483-11ee-8040-88983bcc06d4 last_name: Locatello orcid: 0000-0002-4850-0683 - first_name: Gabriele full_name: Abbati, Gabriele last_name: Abbati - first_name: Tom full_name: Rainforth, Tom last_name: Rainforth - first_name: Stefan full_name: Bauer, Stefan last_name: Bauer - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Schölkopf, Bernhard last_name: Schölkopf - first_name: Olivier full_name: Bachem, Olivier last_name: Bachem citation: ama: 'Locatello F, Abbati G, Rainforth T, Bauer S, Schölkopf B, Bachem O.

The majority of classical SDP solvers are designed for the deterministic setting where problem data is readily available. In this setting, generalized conditional gradient methods (aka Frank-Wolfe-type methods) provide scalable solutions by leveraging the so-called linear minimization oracle instead of the projection onto the semidefinite cone. Most problems in machine learning and modern engineering applications, however, contain some degree of stochasticity. In this work, we propose the first conditional-gradient-type method for solving stochastic optimization problems under affine constraints. Our method guarantees O(k−1/3) convergence rate in expectation on the objective residual and O(k−5/12) on the feasibility gap. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Francesco full_name: Locatello, Francesco id: 26cfd52f-2483-11ee-8040-88983bcc06d4 last_name: Locatello orcid: 0000-0002-4850-0683 - first_name: Alp full_name: Yurtsever, Alp last_name: Yurtsever - first_name: Olivier full_name: Fercoq, Olivier last_name: Fercoq - first_name: Volkan full_name: Cevher, Volkan last_name: Cevher citation: ama: 'Locatello F, Yurtsever A, Fercoq O, Cevher V.

In this\r\npaper, we propose a novel data-set which consists of over one million images of\r\nphysical 3D objects with seven factors of variation, such as object color,\r\nshape, size and position. In order to be able to control all the factors of\r\nvariation precisely, we built an experimental platform where the objects are\r\nbeing moved by a robotic arm. In addition, we provide two more datasets which\r\nconsist of simulations of the experimental setup. These datasets provide for\r\nthe first time the possibility to systematically investigate how well different\r\ndisentanglement methods perform on real data in comparison to simulation, and\r\nhow simulated data can be leveraged to build better representations of the real\r\nworld. We provide a first experimental study of these questions and our results\r\nindicate that learned models transfer poorly, but that model and hyperparameter\r\nselection is an effective means of transferring information to the real world." article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Muhammad Waleed full_name: Gondal, Muhammad Waleed last_name: Gondal - first_name: Manuel full_name: Wüthrich, Manuel last_name: Wüthrich - first_name: Đorđe full_name: Miladinović, Đorđe last_name: Miladinović - first_name: Francesco full_name: Locatello, Francesco id: 26cfd52f-2483-11ee-8040-88983bcc06d4 last_name: Locatello orcid: 0000-0002-4850-0683 - first_name: Martin full_name: Breidt, Martin last_name: Breidt - first_name: Valentin full_name: Volchkov, Valentin last_name: Volchkov - first_name: Joel full_name: Akpo, Joel last_name: Akpo - first_name: Olivier full_name: Bachem, Olivier last_name: Bachem - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Schölkopf, Bernhard last_name: Schölkopf - first_name: Stefan full_name: Bauer, Stefan last_name: Bauer citation: ama: 'Gondal MW, Wüthrich M, Miladinović Đ, et al.

An embedding ϕ : G → M of a graph G into a 2-manifold M maps the vertices in V(G) to distinct points and the edges in E(G) to interior-disjoint Jordan arcs between the corresponding vertices. In applications in clustering, cartography, and visualization, nearby vertices and edges are often bundled to the same point or overlapping arcs due to data compression or low resolution. This raises the computational problem of deciding whether a given map ϕ : G → M comes from an embedding. A map ϕ : G → M is a weak embedding if it can be perturbed into an embedding ψ ϵ : G → M with ‖ ϕ − ψ ϵ ‖ < ϵ for every ϵ > 0, where ‖.‖ is the unform norm.\r\nA polynomial-time algorithm for recognizing weak embeddings has recently been found by Fulek and Kynčl. It reduces the problem to solving a system of linear equations over Z2. It runs in O(n2ω)≤ O(n4.75) time, where ω ∈ [2,2.373) is the matrix multiplication exponent and n is the number of vertices and edges of G. We improve the running time to O(n log n). Our algorithm is also conceptually simpler: We perform a sequence of local operations that gradually “untangles” the image ϕ(G) into an embedding ψ(G) or reports that ϕ is not a weak embedding. It combines local constraints on the orientation of subgraphs directly, thereby eliminating the need for solving large systems of linear equations.\r\n" article_number: '50' article_type: original author: - first_name: Hugo full_name: Akitaya, Hugo last_name: Akitaya - first_name: Radoslav full_name: Fulek, Radoslav id: 39F3FFE4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fulek orcid: 0000-0001-8485-1774 - first_name: Csaba full_name: Tóth, Csaba last_name: Tóth citation: ama: Akitaya H, Fulek R, Tóth C.

Formal analysis that can guarantee the safety of all behaviors or rigorously witness failures, while unsolvable in general, has been tackled algorithmically using, e.g., abstraction, bounded model-checking, assisted theorem proving.\r\nNevertheless, very few methods have addressed the time-unbounded reachability analysis of hybrid automata and, for current sound and automatic tools, scalability remains critical. We develop methods for the polyhedral abstraction of hybrid automata, which construct coarse overapproximations and tightens them incrementally, in a CEGAR fashion.

However, only rarely can we follow this process—whether it originates from the spread of a new mutation, or by introgression from another population. In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Hanemaaijer et al. (2018) report on a 25‐year long study of the mosquitoes Anopheles gambiae (Figure 1) and Anopheles coluzzi in Mali, based on genotypes at 15 single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The species are usually reproductively isolated from each other, but in 2002 and 2006, bursts of hybridization were observed, when F1 hybrids became abundant. Alleles backcrossed from A. gambiae into A. coluzzi, but after the first event, these declined over the following years. In contrast, after 2006, an insecticide resistance allele that had established in A. gambiae spread into A. coluzzi, and rose to high frequency there, over 6 years (~75 generations). Whole genome sequences of 74 individuals showed that A. gambiae SNP from across the genome had become common in the A. coluzzi population, but that most of these were clustered in 34 genes around the resistance locus. A new set of SNP from 25 of these genes were assayed over time; over the 4 years since near‐fixation of the resistance allele; some remained common, whereas others declined. What do these patterns tell us about this introgression event? article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Nicholas H full_name: Barton, Nicholas H id: 4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Barton orcid: 0000-0002-8548-5240 citation: ama: 'Barton NH.

Drosophila hemocytes patrol the body cavity and act as macrophages outside the nervous system whereas glia originate from the neuroepithelium and provide the scavenger population of the nervous system. Drosophila glia are hence the functional orthologs of vertebrate microglia, even though the latter are cells of immune origin that subsequently move into the brain during development. Interestingly, the Drosophila immune cells within (glia) and outside the nervous system (hemocytes) require the same transcription factor Glide/Gcm for their development. This raises the issue of how do glia specifically differentiate in the nervous system and hemocytes in the procephalic mesoderm. The Repo homeodomain transcription factor and pan-glial direct target of Glide/Gcm is known to ensure glial terminal differentiation. Here we show that Repo also takes center stage in the process that discriminates between glia and hemocytes. First, Repo expression is repressed in the hemocyte anlagen by mesoderm-specific factors. Second, Repo ectopic activation in the procephalic mesoderm is sufficient to repress the expression of hemocyte-specific genes. Third, the lack of Repo triggers the expression of hemocyte markers in glia. Thus, a complex network of tissue-specific cues biases the potential of Glide/Gcm. These data allow us to revise the concept of fate determinants and help us understand the bases of cell specification. Both sexes were analyzed.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTDistinct cell types often require the same pioneer transcription factor, raising the issue of how does one factor trigger different fates. In Drosophila, glia and hemocytes provide a scavenger activity within and outside the nervous system, respectively. While they both require the Glide/Gcm transcription factor, glia originate from the ectoderm, hemocytes from the mesoderm. Here we show that tissue-specific factors inhibit the gliogenic potential of Glide/Gcm in the mesoderm by repressing the expression of the homeodomain protein Repo, a major glial-specific target of Glide/Gcm. Repo expression in turn inhibits the expression of hemocyte-specific genes in the nervous system. These cell-specific networks secure the establishment of the glial fate only in the nervous system and allow cell diversification. acknowledgement: This work was supported by INSERM, CNRS, UDS, Ligue Régionale contre le Cancer, Hôpital de Strasbourg, Association pour la Recherche sur le Cancer (ARC) and Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) grants.

Our approach stems from the fact that the wonderful compactification encodes the asymptotics of matrix coefficients, and from its realization as a GIT quotient of the Vinberg semigroup. In order to define the wonderful compactification for a quantum group, we adopt a generalized formalism of Proj categories in the spirit of Artin and Zhang. Key to our construction is a quantum version of the Vinberg semigroup, which we define as a q-deformation of a certain Rees algebra, compatible with a standard Poisson structure. Furthermore, we discuss quantum analogues of the stratification of the wonderful compactification by orbits for a certain group action, and provide explicit computations in the case of SL2. article_processing_charge: Yes (via OA deal) author: - first_name: Iordan V full_name: Ganev, Iordan V id: 447491B8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ganev citation: ama: Ganev IV.

An important role in these processes play the phytohormones and among them, auxin is crucial as it controls many important functions. It is transported through the whole plant body by creating local and temporal concentration maxima and minima, which have an impact on the cell status, tissue and organ identity. Auxin has the property to undergo a directional and finely regulated cell-to-cell transport, which is enabled by the transport proteins, localized on the plasma membrane. An important role in this process have the PIN auxin efflux proteins, which have an asymmetric/polar subcellular localization and determine the directionality of the auxin transport. During the last years, there were significant advances in understanding how the trafficking molecular machineries function, including studies on molecular interactions, function, subcellular localization and intracellular distribution. However, there is still a lack of detailed characterization on the steps of endocytosis, exocytosis, endocytic recycling and degradation. Due to this fact, I focused on the identification of novel trafficking factors and better characterization of the intracellular trafficking pathways. My PhD thesis consists of an introductory chapter, three experimental chapters, a chapter containing general discussion, conclusions and perspectives and also an appendix chapter with published collaborative papers.\r\nThe first chapter is separated in two different parts: I start by a general introduction to auxin biology and then I introduce the trafficking pathways in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Then, I explain also the phosphorylation-signals for polar targeting and also the roles of the phytohormone strigolactone.\r\nThe second chapter includes the characterization of bar1/sacsin mutant, which was identified in a forward genetic screen for novel trafficking components in Arabidopsis thaliana, where by the implementation of an EMS-treated pPIN1::PIN1-GFP marker line and by using the established inhibitor of ARF-GEFs, Brefeldin A (BFA) as a tool to study trafficking processes, we identified a novel factor, which is mediating the adaptation of the plant cell to ARF-GEF inhibition. The mutation is in a previously uncharacterized gene, encoding a very big protein that we, based on its homologies, called SACSIN with domains suggesting roles as a molecular chaperon or as a component of the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Our physiology and imaging studies revealed that SACSIN is a crucial plant cell component of the adaptation to the ARF-GEF inhibition.\r\nThe third chapter includes six subchapters, where I focus on the role of the phytohormone strigolactone, which interferes with auxin feedback on PIN internalization. Strigolactone moderates the polar auxin transport by increasing the internalization of the PIN auxin efflux carriers, which reduces the canalization related growth responses. In addition, I also studied the role of phosphorylation in the strigolactone regulation of auxin feedback on PIN internalization. In this chapter I also present my results on the MAX2-dependence of strigolactone-mediated root growth inhibition and I also share my results on the auxin metabolomics profiling after application of GR24.\r\nIn the fourth chapter I studied the effect of two small molecules ES-9 and ES9-17, which were identified from a collection of small molecules with the property to impair the clathrin-mediated endocytosis.\r\nIn the fifth chapter, I discuss all my observations and experimental findings and suggest alternative hypothesis to interpret my results.\r\nIn the appendix there are three collaborative published projects. In the first, I participated in the characterization of the role of ES9 as a small molecule, which is inhibitor of clathrin- mediated endocytosis in different model organisms. In the second paper, I contributed to the characterization of another small molecule ES9-17, which is a non-protonophoric analog of ES9 and also impairs the clathrin-mediated endocytosis not only in plant cells, but also in mammalian HeLa cells. Last but not least, I also attach another paper, where I tried to establish the grafting method as a technique in our lab to study canalization related processes." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: LifeSc - _id: Bio alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Mina K full_name: Vasileva, Mina K id: 3407EB18-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Vasileva citation: ama: Vasileva MK.

Here we investigate the flow of cytoplasm during bleb formation and the concurrent changes in cell volume using zebrafish primordial germ cells (PGCs) as an in vivo model. We show that bleb inflation occurs concomitantly with cytoplasmic inflow into it and that during this process the total cell volume does not change. We thus show that bleb formation in primordial germ cells results primarily from redistribution of material within the cell rather than being driven by flow of water from an external source. article_number: e0212699 article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Mohammad full_name: Goudarzi, Mohammad id: 3384113A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Goudarzi - first_name: Aleix full_name: Boquet-Pujadas, Aleix last_name: Boquet-Pujadas - first_name: Jean Christophe full_name: Olivo-Marin, Jean Christophe last_name: Olivo-Marin - first_name: Erez full_name: Raz, Erez last_name: Raz citation: ama: Goudarzi M, Boquet-Pujadas A, Olivo-Marin JC, Raz E.

This communication between cells and their environment can be formalized in mathematical terms and be quantified as the information flow between them, as prescribed by information theory. \r\nThe recent availability of real–time dynamical patterns of signaling molecules in single cells has allowed us to identify encoding about the identity of the environment in the time–series. However, efficient estimation of the information transmitted by these signals has been a data–analysis challenge due to the high dimensionality of the trajectories and the limited number of samples. In the first part of this thesis, we develop and evaluate decoding–based estimation methods to lower bound the mutual information and derive model–based precise information estimates for biological reaction networks governed by the chemical master equation. This is followed by applying the decoding-based methods to study the intracellular representation of extracellular changes in budding yeast, by observing the transient dynamics of nuclear translocation of 10 transcription factors in response to 3 stress conditions. Additionally, we apply these estimators to previously published data on ERK and Ca2+ signaling and yeast stress response. We argue that this single cell decoding-based measure of information provides an unbiased, quantitative and interpretable measure for the fidelity of biological signaling processes. \r\nFinally, in the last section, we deal with gene regulation which is primarily controlled by transcription factors (TFs) that bind to the DNA to activate gene expression. The possibility that non-cognate TFs activate transcription diminishes the accuracy of regulation with potentially disastrous effects for the cell. This ’crosstalk’ acts as a previously unexplored source of noise in biochemical networks and puts a strong constraint on their performance. To mitigate erroneous initiation we propose an out of equilibrium scheme that implements kinetic proofreading. We show that such architectures are favored over their equilibrium counterparts for complex organisms despite introducing noise in gene expression.
