Cells located in the midline of the embryo play crucial roles in development. These cells often influence cell fate decisions and guide axons to establish bilateral connections. Despite their importance, studying these transient cells and their complex interactions has been challenging. Today, we introduce human midline #assembloids—3D self-organizing cellular clusters derived from stem cells by the functional integration of floor plate #organoids and spinal cord #organoids. We demonstrate that midline assembloids enable cell specification and axon guidance in human neurons. Additionally, we use these assembloids to screen and identify human-enriched factors that control these processes. Work led by the incredible Massimo Onesto & Neal Amin!! More details in the preprint 👇

In Chinese corporate culture there is an unusual morning ritual — the “money-chasing dance” Employees perform simple movements to music: they pretend to “collect” money from the air around them, swipe their fingers as if on a screen, and make gestures similar to “catching” money. It is believed that this sets a sales-oriented mindset and increases efficiency, regardless of the field of work. The ritual is seen as a form of team motivation and corporate discipline, although from the outside it looks quite strange.

Between 7 to 9 weeks the embryo transforms at an unbelievable speed. The brain develops rapidly, the heart beats stronger and tiny features like hands, legs and facial structure start becoming visible. By 9 weeks, it’s no longer just a cluster of cells it begins to look more like a small human. This phase shows how life evolves from something microscopic into a recognizable form in just days.

A flexible composite airfoil is an advanced wing design that can physically change its shape depending on the aircraft's angle of attack-the angle between the wing and the oncoming air. Unlike traditional rigid wings, these airfoils are built using lightweight composite materials that can bend and adapt in real time. As the angle of attack increases, the wing subtly reshapes itself to maintain smoother airflow, improve lift, and reduce drag. This concept is inspired by nature-similar to how birds adjust their wings during flight for maximum efficiency and control.

I've been editing this article about "brain mapping" and connectomics, and I'm just stunned by how quickly the cost estimates to map, say, a mouse brain have plummeted in just the last couple years. It actually seems feasible that we could map the entire human brain -- all 86 billion neurons, and their connections -- in this lifetime. In the 1970s, Sydney Brenner started mapping all the connections between neurons in C. elegans. His team sliced the worm into thin pieces, took photos using an electron microscope, and manually traced and reconstructed each synapse for 302 neurons total. This project took more than a decade of work, and it cost about $16,500 to reconstruct each neuron. Scaling this up to a human brain boggles the mind. Electron microscopy remained the norm in connectomics for decades, because it was the only option available to see synapses at a resolution high enough to be able to trace their paths. Each electron microscope costs several hundreds of thousands of dollars, though, and you need lots of them to map even a mouse brain in a reasonable timeframe. In 2023, the Wellcome Trust released a report estimating how long, and how expensive, it would be to map the mouse connectome (~70M neurons). They estimated that imaging alone would cost $200-300M, and that proofreading (or ensuring that traces between neurons are correct) would cost $7-21 BILLION. (A human can only manually trace about 1 mm of neuron per hour.) Also, the images would occupy about 500 petabytes of data, and getting those data would require 20 electron microscopes running in parallel for about 5 years, continuously. They estimated the whole project would take about 17 years of work. This is, understandably, insane. But now it seems like there's an actual path toward mapping the full mouse brain in about five years for ~$100M dollars. There have been three major breakthroughs in the last year or so: 1/ Expansion microscopy, first developed in 2015, showed that it's possible to "enlarge" the brain by about 5x using a swellable polymer. But an improved method increases this number to >20x expansion, meaning we can now expand brains and image neurons much more easily using cheap light microscopes, rather than expensive electron ones. 2/ E11 Bio (a nonprofit research org) developed protein barcodes that get delivered into brain tissue; each neuron gets a unique combination of barcodes. These cells are then stained with colorful antibodies, which stick to a matching protein barcode, causing each neuron to light up in a distinct color. This makes tracing neurons so much easier. 3/ Google Research released PATHFINDER this May, an AI-based neuron tracing tool that can proofread about 67,200 cubic microns of brain tissue per hour, with very high accuracy. It works on electron micrographs, but something similar could be presumably be developed for the E11 / colorful tag approach. This is an extremely exciting time for neuroscience.

What is an individual? Can we accept the idea that an individual is not an isolated being, but a totality of traits, ideas, and deeds that arise within humanity, are shaped by it, and return to it? Every human being is a temporary form through which humanity expresses a part of itself. : The author redefines the individual not as an isolated entity but as a transient expression of humanity itself: a unique constellation of traits, ideas, and deeds that emerge from the collective, are molded by it, and ultimately return to enrich it. Each person serves as a temporary vessel through which humanity manifests and explores its own nature. This dissolves the illusion of absolute separateness, revealing every life as an integral thread in the living fabric of humankind. It portrays individuality as both gift and responsibility: a fleeting opportunity to contribute distinct value to the whole. The concept elevates personal existence to a sacred role in humanity’s continuous self-creation. It leads to recognition that our thoughts, actions, and choices ripple beyond the self, shaping the shared human story. Ultimately, framing every individual as both creation and co-creator of humanity’s evolving essence, bound in profound interdependence.

Beijing called the dispatch of the ships a "special maritime operation" in response to the start of negotiations between Japan and the Philippines on the delimitation of their maritime borders. China believes that the process near Taiwan "will affect the territorial interests of the PRC." Over the past two weeks, Taipei has recorded an abnormal increase in aggressive activity by the Chinese coast guard.

🚨 PHYSICISTS JUST SPLIT A SINGLE PHOTON AND IT TURNED INTO AN IMPROBABLE SWARM OF PARTICLES. In a striking experiment, researchers have shown that a photon can be split apart in such a way that it produces a large number of particles, creating what they describe as a “mixture from zero to infinity.” Instead of the usual clean splitting into two photons (as seen in spontaneous parametric down-conversion), this process generated a complex, broad swarm of particles. The result challenges conventional intuition about how photons behave when pushed into extreme nonlinear regimes. Why this matters: • It demonstrates a rare and complex form of photon splitting that was previously very difficult to observe cleanly • Such processes could help simulate high-energy particle physics in table-top experiments • It opens new possibilities for generating exotic quantum states of light • It provides deeper insight into nonlinear quantum electrodynamics (QED) in strong fields The deeper implication: Photons are usually thought of as indivisible quanta of light. But under the right extreme conditions, a single photon can effectively “break apart” into many particles. This isn’t just a curiosity it touches on fundamental questions about the nature of light and matter, and could eventually lead to new tools for quantum technologies and for studying physics that normally requires particle accelerators. We’re seeing light behave in ways that blur the line between a single quantum and a many-particle system. How do you think being able to controllably split photons into swarms of particles could impact quantum optics or fundamental physics research?

This 30-ton autonomous planter can sow 400 hectares in 24 hours. It also significantly degrades 400 hectares of soil in 24 hours. A planter of this size aggressively compacts the soil surface and pulverizes the critical soil aggregates. Just look at the plume of topsoil left in the planter's wake. Arguably worse than surface compaction is the subsurface compaction caused by the force of a 30-ton machine traveling over the field. An initial compaction layer develops as deep as 2 feet and continues upward as new hardpan layers form on top of each other with each subsequent pass of the planter. Eventually, the subsurface compaction meets the surface compaction, and what remains is soil with no water-holding capacity, devoid of life, without the ability to cycle nutrients and generally inhospitable to crops. Despite its speed and efficiency, this planter ultimately takes the life out of farming, from the soil on up to the human operator.

True, even a two DOF system can exhibit chaotic behavior, and a single cell is an at least an ~10^7 DOF system (i.e., protein molecules per cell). I still fail to properly convey to others the insane complexity I see in our microscopes, and why successes like AlphaFold only work because of the huge number of unnatural constraints placed on the training data. Case in point (below): lysosome dynamics over 12 min across a 200 x 70 um region in the head of a developing zebrafish embryo, color-coded by depth -- just one of 20k proteins at work. Our Cell Observatory Initiative is more important than ever, but while we have petabytes of the most mind-blowing data ever, we are still hamstrung by insufficient AI talent and compute -- two resources in great demand everywhere. If anyone can help us over this hurdle, we'd be eternally grateful.
