The exact mechanisms that govern clonal dynamics and selection during early tumorigenesis remain largely elusive. Ceresa et al. provide experimental and mathematical evidence that MYC-dependent competition between individual clones is one driving force of brain tumor evolution, adding a winner/loser aspect to the picture that complements existing concepts.

Identifying winner-takes-all emergence in random nanowire networks: an inverse problem.

Phys Chem Chem Phys

November 2024

Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Calgary, 2500 University Drive NW, Calgary, Alberta T2N 1N4, Canada.

Random nanowire networks (NWNs) are interconnects that enable the integration of nanoscopic building blocks (the nanowires) in a disorganized fashion, enabling the study of complex emergent phenomena in nanomaterials and built-in fault-tolerant processing functionalities; the latter can lead to advances in large-scale electronic devices that can be fabricated with no particular array/grid high-precision pattern. However, when various nanowires are assembled to form an intricate network, their individual features are somehow lost in the complex NWN frame, in line with the complexity hallmark "the whole differs from the sum of the parts". Individual nanowire materials and geometrical features can only be inferred indirectly by attempting to extract information about their initial conditions from a response function measurement.

Exploring the categorical nature of colour perception: Insights from artificial networks.

Neural Netw

January 2025

Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Giessen, Germany. Electronic address:

The electromagnetic spectrum of light from a rainbow is a continuous signal, yet we perceive it vividly in several distinct colour categories. The origins and underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon remain partly unexplained. We investigate categorical colour perception in artificial neural networks (ANNs) using the odd-one-out paradigm.

Mammography classification with multi-view deep learning techniques: Investigating graph and transformer-based architectures.

Med Image Anal

January 2025

Politecnico di Torino, Dipartimento di Automatica e Informatica, Corso Duca degli Abruzzi 24, 10129, Turin, Italy. Electronic address:

The potential and promise of deep learning systems to provide an independent assessment and relieve radiologists' burden in screening mammography have been recognized in several studies. However, the low cancer prevalence, the need to process high-resolution images, and the need to combine information from multiple views and scales still pose technical challenges. Multi-view architectures that combine information from the four mammographic views to produce an exam-level classification score are a promising approach to the automated processing of screening mammography.

Nonreciprocal synchronization in embryonic oscillator ensembles.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

September 2024

Developmental Biology Unit, European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Heidelberg 69117, Germany.

Article Synopsis
  • Synchronization of coupled oscillators is a widespread phenomenon seen in various contexts, revealing universal rules that govern different systems such as chemical patterns and biological rhythms.
  • The study focuses on the synchronization mechanisms in vertebrate embryos, specifically how oscillatory signaling in cells helps in body axis segmentation, requiring Notch signaling and cellular contact for effective synchronization.
  • An experimental assay is developed to quantify synchronization dynamics, leading to a new "Rectified Kuramoto" model that describes the nonreciprocal interactions among oscillating cells, highlighting similarities to collective behaviors found in neurons and fireflies.
