Functional regimes define soil microbiome response to environmental change

Experimental perturbation of soil pH leads to a generalizable model of the soil microcosm comprising three functional regimes with distinct mechanisms linking environmental change to metabolite dynamics.

Active tension network model suggests an exotic mechanical state realized in epithelial tissues

Determining how cellular activity affects the collective properties of growing tissues is key to understanding morphogenesis. An epithelial tissue model shows how active tension can give rise to striking mechanical behaviours seen in experiments.

Environmentally dependent interactions shape patterns in gene content across natural microbiomes

Global soil sequencing data and enrichment experiments show trade-offs in denitrification phenotypes driven by pH, underscoring how the environment shapes ecological interactions and gene content.

Physical ageing of the contact line on colloidal particles at liquid interfaces

Colloidal particles adsorbed at liquid interfaces are commonly assumed to be at equilibrium, but holographic microscopy experiments now reveal that microspheres bound to a water/oil interface may take months to equilibrate. The observed ageing dynamics agree with a model of thermally activated hopping of the particle/interface contact line over nanoscale surface defects, and have implications for understanding the interactions between adsorbed colloidal particles.

Distinct contributions of tensile and shear stress on E-cadherin levels during morphogenesis

The effects of mechanical forces, generated by actomyosin contractility, on E-cadherin based cell adhesion are poorly characterized in vivo. Here, the authors report that normal stress increases E-cadherin levels, whereas shear stress reduces E-Cadherin levels, in the developing Drosophila embryo.
