Extracellular adenosine deamination primes tip organizer development in Dictyostelium

1. Pavani Hathi
2. Baskar Ramamurthy

• Curated by eLife

  eLife Assessment

  During the development of the unicellular eukaryote Dictyostelium discoideum, cells aggregate into mounds, forming protrusions or tips, which then become the front of migrating slugs and the top of fruiting bodies. This valuable study identifies adenosine deaminase-related growth factor (ADGF) as a key regulator of tip formation and convincingly shows that ADGF catalyses the conversion of adenosine to ammonia, allowing ammonia to initiate tip formation, and then elucidates pathways upstream and downstream of ADGF. The authors discuss the intriguing possibility that mammalian ADGF may also similarly regulate development.

Unsupervised Representation Learning of C. elegans Poses and Behavior Sequences From Microscope Video Recordings

1. Maurice Deserno
2. Katarzyna Bozek

• Curated by eLife

  eLife Assessment

  This valuable study introduces a self-supervised machine learning method to classify C. elegans postures and behaviors directly from video data, offering an alternative to the skeleton-based approaches that rely on often error-prone tracking. This novel approach holds promise for advancing ethology research. That said, the strength of evidence is currently incomplete, as key aspects - including measuring head-tail orientation, increased behavioral interpretability, and quantitative comparisons to established methods - are underdeveloped and would benefit from further validation.
