text: The superior colliculus (SC) in the mammalian midbrain is essential for multisensory
integration and is composed of a rich diversity of excitatory and inhibitory neurons
and glia. However, the developmental principles directing the generation of SC
cell-type diversity are not understood. Here, we pursued systematic cell lineage
tracing in silico and in vivo, preserving full spatial information, using genetic
mosaic analysis with double markers (MADM)-based clonal analysis with single-cell
sequencing (MADM-CloneSeq). The analysis of clonally related cell lineages revealed
that radial glial progenitors (RGPs) in SC are exceptionally multipotent. Individual
resident RGPs have the capacity to produce all excitatory and inhibitory SC neuron
types, even at the stage of terminal division. While individual clonal units show
no pre-defined cellular composition, the establishment of appropriate relative
proportions of distinct neuronal types occurs in a PTEN-dependent manner. Collectively,
our findings provide an inaugural framework at the single-RGP/-cell level of the
mammalian SC ontogeny.

text: Superconductor/semiconductor hybrid devices have attracted increasing interest
in the past years. Superconducting electronics aims to complement semiconductor
technology, while hybrid architectures are at the forefront of new ideas such
as topological superconductivity and protected qubits. In this work, we engineer
the induced superconductivity in two-dimensional germanium hole gas by varying
the distance between the quantum well and the aluminum. We demonstrate a hard
superconducting gap and realize an electrically and flux tunable superconducting
diode using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). This allows
to tune the current phase relation (CPR), to a regime where single Cooper pair
tunneling is suppressed, creating a sin(2y) CPR. Shapiro experiments complement
this interpretation and the microwave drive allows to create a diode with ≈ 100%
efficiency. The reported results open up the path towards integration of spin
qubit devices, microwave resonators and (protected) superconducting qubits on the
same silicon technology compatible platform.

text: 'In animals, parasitic infections impose significant fitness costs.1,2,3,4,5,6
Infected animals can alter their feeding behavior to resist infection,7,8,9,10,11,12
but parasites can manipulate animal foraging behavior to their own benefits.13,14,15,16
How nutrition influences host-parasite interactions is not well understood, as
studies have mainly focused on the host and less on the parasite.9,12,17,18,19,20,21,22,23
We used the nutritional geometry framework24 to investigate the role of amino
acids (AA) and carbohydrates (C) in a host-parasite system: the Argentine ant,
Linepithema humile, and the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium brunneum. First,
using 18 diets varying in AA:C composition, we established that the fungus performed
best on the high-amino-acid diet 1:4. Second, we found that the fungus reached
this optimal diet when given various diet pairings, revealing its ability to cope
with nutritional challenges. Third, we showed that the optimal fungal diet reduced
the lifespan of healthy ants when compared with a high-carbohydrate diet but had
no effect on infected ants. Fourth, we revealed that infected ant colonies, given
a choice between the optimal fungal diet and a high-carbohydrate diet, chose the
optimal fungal diet, whereas healthy colonies avoided it. Lastly, by disentangling
fungal infection from host immune response, we demonstrated that infected ants
foraged on the optimal fungal diet in response to immune activation and not as
a result of parasite manipulation. Therefore, we revealed that infected ant colonies
chose a diet that is costly for survival in the long term but beneficial in the
short term—a form of collective self-medication.'
