The expansion of the neocortex, a hallmark of mammalian evolution1,2, was accompanied by an increase in cerebellar neuron numbers3. However, little is known about the evolution of the cellular programs underlying cerebellum development in mammals. In this study, we generated single-nucleus RNA-sequencing data for ~400,000 cells to trace cerebellum development from early neurogenesis to adulthood in human, mouse, and the marsupial opossum. We established a consensus classification of the cellular diversity in the developing mammalian cerebellum and validated it by spatial mapping in the fetal human cerebellum. Our cross-species analyses revealed a largely conserved developmental dynamics of cell type generation, except for Purkinje cells, where we observed an expansion of early-born subtypes in the human lineage. Global transcriptome profiles, conserved cell state markers, and gene expression trajectories across neuronal differentiation show that cerebellar cell type-defining programs have been overall preserved for at least ~160 million years. However, we also identified many orthologous genes that gained or lost expression in cerebellar neural cell types in one of the species, or evolved new expression trajectories during neuronal differentiation, indicating widespread gene repurposing at the cell type level. Altogether, our study unveils shared and lineage-specific gene expression programs governing the development of cerebellar cells, and expands our understanding of mammalian brain evolution.

The Seine estuary is a megatidal estuary located in northern France. It is the third largest estuarine ecosystem in the country after the Gironde and Loire along the French Atlantic coast; its waters flow into the English Channel. The geographical zone of influence of the Seine estuary runs from just upstream of the Poses dam, at the limit of the tidal penetration into the estuary — 160 km upstream of Le Havre —to the eastern part of the Bay of Seine. It can be divided into three sections: the fresh water upstream section (125 km), the mixing zone characterized by varying salinity levels (35 km), and the marine downstream section under the influence of the Seine River. The megatidal regime generates a turbidity maximum in the mixing zone (middle estuary) between the marine and fluvial sections of the estuary. The Seine estuary is a typical estuarine ecosystem: highly stressed by natural fluctuations and anthropogenic pressures, and hosting a rich ecological system. The Seine valley and its estuary are of major economic importance for France, with the presence of two maritime ports. It’s watershed (79,000 km2) is the home to 17 million people, and accounts for 50 % of the river traffic in France, 40 % of the country's economic activity, and 30 % of its agricultural activities. In addition to the Greater Paris area (> 11 million inhabitants), which contributes heavily to the Seine estuary's upstream inputs, two other major river settlements — Rouen (500,000 inhabitants) and Le Havre (300,000 inhabitants) — are maritime ports of international importance. Due to economic development, the Seine estuary has been subjected to major hydrodynamic, ecological, biogeomorphological and biogeochemical changes. The importance of studying the effects of anthropogenic impacts on estuarine ecosystems has increased in the last decade, especially under the Water Framework Directive, which aims to achieve “good environmental status” of all European water bodies.

2015 TC Megh struck Berbera and Bossaso Districts in Somalia. The storm orignated from the Arabian Sea causing even more rains in parts of Bari region in Puntland and Somaliland. On November 9, 2015 just days after TC Chapala, TC Megh passed 57 km (36 mi) north of Cape Guardafui, Somalia, where it dropped heavy rainfall 300% of the annual average. Eyl reported 160 mm (6.3 in) of rainfall over 24 hours. The villages hitted in the two districts included, Af Kalahay, Alula, Bareda, BiyoCade, Boolimoog, Dhurbo, Fagoora, Geesalay, Murcanyo, Sayn Weyn, Sayn Yar, Toxin, Xaabo, Baargaal, Bander, Bareeda, Butiyaal, Caluula, Murcanyo, Qandalla, Xaabo and some parts of Xaafun, Biyacad, Bulahar, Ceelsheik and Shacable TC Megh damaged roads, crops, and schools. Re-estimated population figures after Tropical Megh, showed 4.9 million people were in need of assistance, 308,700 children under-5 were acutely malnourished, of which 55,800 were severely malnourished and 1.1 million remain in a protracted internal displacement situation. Summary of impacts include: People affected: 132,000 People Displace: 3,000 Worst hit people: 800 Destroyed houses: 1,129

Southeast Asia is one of the biologically most diverse regions on earth. At the same time, this natural wealth and global heritage is threatened by enormous economic growth rates and high human population pressure. Consequently, this vast tropical area is distinguished by the highest density of internationally recognized biodiversity hotspots. The Wallacea hotspot is located between the continental shelves of Eurasia and Australia and comprises Sulawesi, the Lesser Sunda Islands, and the Moluccas (Spice Islands). Sulawesi, formerly known as Celebes, is the largest land mass within the biogeographic transition zone between Asia and Australia and unites unique faunal elements from both biologically distinct regions. Compared with the amphibians and reptiles of the three Greater Sunda Islands, the herpetofaunal diversity of Sulawesi is impoverished, since many wide-spread Southeast Asian amphibian and reptile genera did not succeed in colonizing Sulawesi in the past. This depauperate faunal character is the result of the million-year long geological isolation of Sulawesi from surrounding island regions due to marine barriers and strong sea currents. However, despite ambitious investigations by several industrious scientists during the past two centuries, recent fieldwork on Sulawesi and its smaller offshore islands has revealed that the diversity of amphibian and reptile species has been largely underestimated. Since the last herpetological synopsis was published in 1996, 36 new amphibian and reptile species plus five subspecies have been described or were newly recorded for Sulawesi and its satellite islands. In addition, about 40 species, mainly skinks, have been identified as new to science and still await formal scientific description. This represents an increase by 35 persen! In total, about 215 different species of amphibians (ca. 50 species) and reptiles (ca. 160 species) are currently recognized from the Sulawesi region and further will be discovered in the future.

These data sets include deposit description, location, and geochemistry of sedimentary rock-hosted (Carlin-type) Au deposits in P.R. China. Deposit data was compiled by U.S. Geological Survey and Tianjim Geological Academy into a series of tables (.xls and .csv) provided in Open-File Report 02-131, Appendix III and IV. Since the 1980s, Chinese geologists have devoted a large-scale exploration and research effort to the deposits. As a result, there are more than 20 million oz of proven Au reserves in sedimentary rock-hosted Au deposits in P.R. China. Additional estimated and inferred resources are present in over 160 deposits and occurrences, which are undergoing exploration. This makes China second to Nevada in contained ounces of Au in Carlin-type deposits. It is likely that many of the Carlin-type Au ore districts in China, when fully developed, could have resource potential comparable to the multi-1,000-tonne Au resource in northern Nevada.

In 2024, the number of data compromises in the United States stood at 3,158 cases. Meanwhile, over 1.35 billion individuals were affected in the same year by data compromises, including data breaches, leakage, and exposure. While these are three different events, they have one thing in common. As a result of all three incidents, the sensitive data is accessed by an unauthorized threat actor. Industries most vulnerable to data breaches Some industry sectors usually see more significant cases of private data violations than others. This is determined by the type and volume of the personal information organizations of these sectors store. In 2024 the financial services, healthcare, and professional services were the three industry sectors that recorded most data breaches. Overall, the number of healthcare data breaches in some industry sectors in the United States has gradually increased within the past few years. However, some sectors saw decrease. Largest data exposures worldwide In 2020, an adult streaming website, CAM4, experienced a leakage of nearly 11 billion records. This, by far, is the most extensive reported data leakage. This case, though, is unique because cyber security researchers found the vulnerability before the cyber criminals. The second-largest data breach is the Yahoo data breach, dating back to 2013. The company first reported about one billion exposed records, then later, in 2017, came up with an updated number of leaked records, which was three billion. In March 2018, the third biggest data breach happened, involving India’s national identification database Aadhaar. As a result of this incident, over 1.1 billion records were exposed.

This dataset presents information on the freeform printing and temperature actuation of a hydrogel. The hydrogel, comprising a blend of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted with chondroitin sulfate, gelatin, and Carbopol 940, facilitates cell spatial communication through mild temperature changes, a process referred to as actuation. The dataset includes NMR, rheological, SAXS characterization, as well as cell images stained with DAPI/Phalloidin. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-g-chondroitin sulfate Synthesis: Free radical polymerization of pNIPAAm-CS was performed as described previously according to the following publication with a molar ratio of NIPAAm:CS of 2500:1. Christiani, T., Mys, K., Dyer, K., Kadlowec, J., Iftode, C. and Vernengo, A.J., 2021. Using embedded alginate microparticles to tune the properties of in situ forming poly (N‐isopropylacrylamide)‐graft‐chondroitin sulfate bioadhesive hydrogels for replacement and repair of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc. JOR spine, 4(3), p.e1161. The functionalization degree of CS was assessed by 1H-NMR analysis according to Wang et al. [86] and found to be 35.4%. Wang, L.F., Shen, S.S. and Lu, S.C., 2003. Synthesis and characterization of chondroitin sulfate–methacrylate hydrogels. Carbohydrate Polymers, 52(4), pp.389-396. Preparation of EXPECT Hydrogels Aqueous solutions of 3% (w/v) pNIPAAm-CS + 0.8% (w/v) Carbopol® 940 (CP, Acros Organics Geel, Belgium) + 1% (w/v) gelatin (from porcine skin, 175 g Bloom, type A, Sigma, St. Louis, USA) were prepared. To produce the hydrogel for cell culture, the required reagents were UV-sterilized for 12 hours, and an aqueous solution of 3% (w/v) pNIPAAm-CS + 0.8% (w/v) CP + 1% (w/v) gelatin was prepared. For all formulations, the pH was adjusted to 7.4 with 50% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and the hydrogel was stored at 4°C until testing. Rheological Characterization Rheological testing was conducted with an Anton Paar MCR-302 rheometer (Anton Paar GmbH, Austria). All measurements were taken with a gap size of 0.5 mm and a parallel plate with a diameter of 25 mm. Unless stated otherwise, the rheological properties were assessed at a temperature of 25°C, with a frequency of 1 Hz and with n = 3 samples per group. To prevent sample drying during the measurements, silicone oil was applied around the plate to seal the hydrogel. A 0.8% (w/v) CP hydrogel served as a control group for all tests. Amplitude Sweep Test An amplitude sweep test with oscillatory strain was used to determine storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G'') within the range of 0.01% and 1000% strain. The flow stress was calculated at the point of the curves cross-over (G' = G'') using the integrated analysis tool of the RheoCompassTM software (version 1.26.22, Anton Paar GmbH, Austria). Temperature Ramp Test An oscillatory temperature ramp test with 1% constant strain (within linear viscoelastic region (LVR) as established by primary amplitude test) was used to evaluate viscoelastic properties as a function of temperature. The test was divided into three intervals, the first of which was a 60 s measurement at 25°C. After this, the temperature was increased to 37°C in the second interval for 600 s. In the third interval, the temperature was reduced to 25°C and the measurements were taken for 300 s. To calculate the absolute increase of G' caused by the increase of temperature from 25°C to 37°C, the following equation was used: ∆G^'= G_(t=y s)^'- G_(t=x s)^' (1) where G_(t=y s)^' defines the 4th data point of the first interval and G_(t=x s)^' the 30th data point of the second interval. Step Strain Test (Recovery) In an oscillatory step strain test, G' and G'' were measured while the strain was alternated between a low strain, set to 1%, and a high strain, set to 250%, over the course of seven intervals. The step strain test was started with 1% strain in the 1st interval, followed by 250% strain in the 2nd interval, and so on. Each interval was 120 s, except the 7th, which lasted 160 s at 1% strain. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) Analysis SAXS was performed at B21 beamline, Diamond Light Source, UK with sample loading into MPS sticks enclosed with Kapton tape. Briefly, samples were collected and measured at 25 or 37°C, for 21 frames with 1 s exposure each.

Effect of steam sterilisation on physico-chemical properties of antibacterial covalently cross-linked ε-polylysine/hyaluronic acid hydrogels. Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 6, p.100363. Expansion of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells This work was done using cells isolated from the same donor (male, born in 1958), at University Hospital of Freiburg in Germany with the full approval of the patient. Furthermore, for supplementary Figure 5, an additional donor was evaluated (female, born in 1961), from the same university hospital with the patient’s consent. For the human MSC growth and expansion prior printing, Minimum Essential Medium Eagle - alpha modification (10.08g α-MEM powder, Gibco, Thermo Fischer, Switzerland and 2.2 g sodium bicarbonate (56014-1KG, Sigma-Aldrich, Switzerland) for 1L of basal medium), supplemented with 10% corning serum (FBS, Corning Incorporated, New York, USA), 1% (v/v) penicillin-streptomycin (Pen/Strep, Gibco, Carlsbad, USA), and 5 ng/ml basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF, Fitzgerald Industries International, Acton, MA, USA) was used. Cells were cultured at 37°C with 5% CO2 and 90% relative humidity. The expansion medium was changed three times per week, cells were passaged at 80% confluency and used at passage 4 for bioprinting. For MSC aggregate generation, AggreWell™ 400 Microwell Culture Plates (STEMCELLS technologies, Canada) were utilized. The wells were pretreated with AggreWell™ Rinsing solution for the prevention of cell adhesion to the well’s surface and the promotion of efficient spheroid formation. The cells were detached from the flasks using Trypsin-EDTA (Gibco, Thermo Fisher). The viable cells were determined by a hematocytometer and Trypan Blue exclusion, while the seeding of the cells took place at a concentration of 2 million cells per well following the manufacturer’s protocol for the aggregate generation. The cells were kept in the incubator overnight (24 hours) at 37°C with 5% CO2 to form the spheroids prior to 3D printing. 3D Printing For freeform 3D printing, MSCs (single cells or spheroidal aggregate format) were suspended in 6% (w/v) gelatin in the MSC growth medium described above at a total density of 4.0 x 106 cells/mL. The cell-laden bioinks were extruded through a PTFE-lined needle with 0.3 mm inner diameter and 12.7 mm length, inside 1 mL of the patternable hydrogel composed of 3% (w/v) pNIPAAm-CS + 0.8% (w/v) CP + 1% (w/v) gelatin. The printing pattern consisted of three circles with a radius of 5 mm, stacked in Z-direction with 1 mm spacing, and was deposited at a starting height of 2 mm inside the hydrogel. Printing parameters were as follows: 25°C ambient temperature, 16% relative humidity, 0.2 – 0.8 bar printing pressure, 25°C bioink temperature, and 0.5 mm/s deposition velocity. The cells were cultured in expansion medium for 14, 21 or 36 days at 37°C with 5% CO2 and 90% relative humidity. The culture medium was changed three times per week. For the purpose of the chondrogenic induction, chondrogenic medium was used for the MSCs post printing. The chondrogenic medium was composed of High glucose Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (Hg DMEM, Lot: 2551077,13.38 g H.g DMEM with 3.7 g of sodium bicarbonate (56014-1KG, Sigma-Aldrich, Switzerland) and 0.11 g of sodium pyruvate (P5280-25G, Sigma-Aldrich, Switzerland) for 1L basal medium), supplemented with 1% (v/v) Non-essential amino acid cell culture supplement (NEAA, Lot: 2554642, Gibco, Thermo Fischer, UK), 1% (v/v) insulin, human transferrin and selenous acid (ITS-plus,Lot: 3046004, Corning, Discovery Labware, Inc., Bedford, USA), 1% (v/v) L-Ascorbic Acid 2-phosphate sesquimagnesium salt hydrate (AA2P, A8960-5G, Sigma-Aldrich, Switzerland), 0.1% (v/v) dexamethasone (D2915-100MG, Lot: 029K1187, Sigma-Aldrich, Switzerland) and 0.1% (v/v) Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ, Fitzgerald Industries International, USA). After the printing, the hydrogels were placed in the incubator (at 37°C with 5% CO2 and 90% relative humidity) for about an hour for solidification and then the chondrogenic medium was added. The culture of the MSCs and spheroids within the hydrogels took place under the same conditions. The medium was changed 3 times per week. Temperature Actuation of Printed EXPECT Samples Immediately post-printing, hydrogel from all groups was removed for a baseline imaging (referred to as day 0). Subsequently, on days 1, 3, and 5, and every 5 days thereafter, temperature actuation was implemented. The final temperature actuation cycle was applied until day 35, after which the hydrogels were equilibrated for 24 hours at 37°C before being harvested for imaging on day 36. The temperature actuation involved exposing culture plates to 25°C (ambient conditions outside the incubator) for 15 minutes. In contrast, static (control) samples were kept outside the incubator under the same conditions, except on a 37°C surface, to prevent the phase transition of the hydrogels.
