Could major evolutionary transitions arise "from within" -- through internal innovation rather than merger? The case for autogenic transitions in individuality is developed here: philsci-archive.pitt.edu/26847/

Current #land-use in UK is far from optimal, but this work shows the evolutions to be prioritised :

A great evaluation of the trade-offs between 3 objectives for rural land: agricultural/forestry production, #carbon #sequestration and #biodiversity.

CAR T therapy has seen great effectiveness in liquid tumors, but little in solid tumors (e.g. ovarian cancer).

Here we developed hyper-migratory CAR TV cells to infiltrate en masse ovarian tumors. (Left: control CAR T cells; right CAR TV cells).

In this beautiful system, we could show uncoupling of gene expression profiles, morphology and patterning… #NotInTheGenes 😉 (also includes a method to do long term 🔬 of elongating gastruloids)

Modifying mechanical constraint guides gastruloid patterning

This Research Highlight showcases the work from Judith Pineau @judithpineau.bsky.social, Jerome Wong-Ng @jeromewongng.bsky.social, Thomas Gregor @thomasgregor.bsky.social and colleagues:

journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Figure 2 - Gene expression patterning and transcriptional profiles in hydrogel-grown gastruloids. (A) Representative immunofluorescence images of gastruloids at 120 h. Gastruloids were grown in standard culture conditions (Ctrl, no hydrogel) or embedded in hydrogels with increasing concentrations (0.7 mM, 0.8 mM and 1.0 mM) at 96 h post-seeding. Nuclei (blue), BRA (purple) and SOX2 (yellow) are labeled. (B,C) Normalized expression profiles of SOX2 (B) and BRA (C) along the AP axis, demonstrating consistent expression patterns across conditions. (D) Principal component analysis of bulk RNA-seq experiments (three replicates), revealing clear separation between Ctrl and noCHI (red), a negative control for gastruloid formation, while hydrogel-embedded conditions cluster near Ctrl. (E) Number of significantly differentially expressed (DE) genes compared to Ctrl, showing substantial transcriptional changes in noCHI and minimal changes in hydrogel-embedded conditions (0.7 mM, 0.8 mM and 1.0 mM). Shown here are representative data and analysis for one experimental replicate. See Fig. S3 for two additional replicates.
