SUMMARY:Physics & life days 2025
DESCRIPTION:The division Physics and Life of the French Physical Society (SFP) organizes its third annual meeting. This year\, it will take place on the 2nd and 3rd of October in Paris\, at the Institut Jacques Monod (Buffon auditorium\, Grand Moulin Campus of the Université Paris Cité). \nThe meeting will cover a large array of thematics at the interface between physics and biology\, from the molecular to the population scales\, experimental\, computational and theoretical work. We aim to gather a diverse community of researchers working in French labs to strengthen collaborations in this large field. \nIn order to stimulate exchange and learn from different topics we have selected four invited speakers\, each will give an introductory lecture on their field of interest and a regular presentation on their latest results: \n\nLaura Cantini (CNRS\, Institut Pasteur) – Integrative genomics.\nPauline Durand-Smet (Lab. MSC\, CNRS\, Univ. Paris-Cité) – Plant biomechanics\nSylvie Lorthois (IMFT\, CNRS\, Univ. de Toulouse) – Brain microcirculation\nFrançois Peaudecerf (IPR\, CNRS\, Univ. de Rennes) – Soil bacteria soft matter\n\nA fifth invited speaker will be announced this summer. We will have about 15 selected talks and we will host a poster session\, both open for young and senior researchers. \nNote that the meeting will start on Thursday around 2 pm and will finish on Friday around 4 pm for non-parisians to travel easily. Thursday diner\, Friday lunch and coffee breaks are included. \nAbstract submission and registration are open until September 5 on the registration website.

SUMMARY:Institut Jacques Monod Seminar - Can Aztekin
DESCRIPTION:Invited by the Gazave Lab\, Can Aztekin (Friedrich Miescher Laboratory of the Max Planck Society) will present an Institut Jacques Monod seminar: \nSignaling centers of appendage regeneration: from single cells to species \nAbstract: \nUnlike mammals\, Xenopus laevis tadpoles possess a remarkable ability to regenerate lost appendages. In our previous work (Aztekin et al.\, 2019\, 2021)\, we identified key signaling center cell types that form during tail and limb regeneration. Through cross-species comparisons (Zhong et al.\, 2023)\, we have identified equivalent cell populations in mammals\, and developed simplified stem cell-based models to investigate the properties of these regenerative cells (Skoufa et al.\, 2024). In this talk\, I will present our findings on the critical genetic and environmental factors that influence signaling center formation in Xenopus tadpole and mouse embryonic limbs (Tsissios et al.\, 2024). These results shed light on the mechanisms underlying limb regeneration competence and provide insights into the divergent regenerative capabilities between species.

SUMMARY:Institut Jacques Monod Seminar - Nicolas Rode
DESCRIPTION:Invited by the Courtier Lab\, Nicolas Rode\, (Centre de Biologie pour la Gestion des Populations\, INRAE\, Montpellier) will present the Institut Jacques Monod seminar on the theme:\n \nInvestigating microbiota-induced plastic tracking of seasonal host fruits in the invasive pest\, Drosophila suzukii\n \nAbstract:\nElucidating the genetic and plastic mechanisms by which insect populations can track seasonal variation in their host plants is a long-standing central goal of evolutionary ecology and has major applied implications in agriculture. By sampling natural populations of Drosophila suzukii on different fruits and doing reciprocal transplant experiments\, we found that both oviposition preference and offspring performance were higher on original fruits from which populations originated than on alternative fruits. We are currently investigating the role of a flexible and fruit-specific microbiota in driving this pattern. I will present recent data showing that (1) the fungal communities of D. suzukii are more strongly structured among different host fruits than bacterial communities\, (2) differences in fungal communities among fruits are maintained over time in the laboratory whereas bacterial communities change over time due to different life stages of D. suzukii preferentially selecting for some bacterial taxa and that (3) different fungal and bacterial communities induce strong plastic responses in both oviposition preference and offspring performance across host fruits. These results help us better understand how the gut microbiota allow D. suzukii to track seasonal changes in host fruits.

SUMMARY:Institut Jacques Monod Lecture - Bruno Lemaitre
DESCRIPTION:On October 17th\, Bruno Lemaitre (Global Health Institute\, School of Life Science\, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)\, Lausanne\, Switzerland) will present Institut Jacques Monod lecture on the theme: \nA retrospective analysis of 400 publications reveals patterns of irreproducibility across an entire life sciences research field \n  \nAbstract: \nResearch on Drosophila immunity has not only transformed our understanding of innate immunity but has also influenced studies on insect pests and disease vectors. Yet\, as in many rapidly developing fields\, some published findings have proven irreproducible. While certain results have been explicitly contradicted\, many others remain untested\, often due to limited follow-up or a lack of incentive to publish negative findings. To address this gap\, we conducted a systematic conceptual reproducibility project evaluating claims from articles on Drosophila immunity published before 2011. From 400 papers\, we extracted key claims and assessed their verifiability by cross-referencing the literature and\, in selected cases\, experimentally testing “unchallenged” claims without prior replication (https://ReproSci.epfl.ch/. Our approach provides\, uniquely\, a field-wide assessment—14 years later—of the replicability of nearly all publications within an experimental life science community. We found that high-impact journals and top-ranked institutions are more likely to publish challenged claims. In line with the reproducibility crisis narrative\, the rates of both challenged and unchallenged claims increased over time\, especially as the field gained popularity. We characterized the uneven distribution of irreproducibility among first and last authors. Group leaders\, who had prior experience as first authors in another Drosophila immunity team\, had lower irreproducibility rates\, underscoring the importance of early-career training. Finally\, authors with a more exploratory\, short-term engagement with the field exhibited slightly higher rates of challenged claims and a markedly higher proportion of unchallenged ones. We also did interviews with principal investigators to further shed light on how researchers navigate issues of reproducibility in practice. This systematic\, field-wide retrospective study offers meaningful insights into the ongoing discussion on reproducibility in experimental life sciences.

SUMMARY:Institut Jacques Monod Seminar - Beniamino Trombetta
DESCRIPTION:Invited by the Guichet Lab\, Beniamino Trombetta will present an Institut Jacques Monod seminar on the theme: \nAncient DNA: techniques\, data\, and new perspectives on human biological and cultural evolution \n  \nAbstract: \nOver the past decade\, the fields of genomics and archaeogenomics have undergone remarkable advances\, enabling the recovery and analysis of genetic information from a vast number of ancient remains spanning prehistory to the present. These datasets are providing unprecedented insights into genomic variation through time and\, when integrated with archaeological and paleontological evidence\, are profoundly reshaping our understanding of human evolutionary history as well as the trajectories of numerous other species. Building on the pioneering contributions of Nobel Laureate Prof. Svante Pääbo\, my presentation will discuss recent methodological developments in ancient DNA analysis for reconstructing human population history and migratory dynamics. Specifically\, I will address the interactions between anatomically modern humans and other hominins\, including Homo neanderthalensis and Denisovans. In addition\, I will examine the formation of the European genetic landscape\, with a particular focus on the demographic processes shaping pre-Roman Italy.

SUMMARY:Paris Postdoc Seminar - Dennis Wörthmüller
DESCRIPTION:Invited by theI nstitut Jacques Monod\, Dennis Wörthmüller will present a Paris Postdoc Seminar on the theme: \nWhen Actin Meets Curvature: Modeling Free-Standing Cell Protrusions \nAbstract: \nCell shape changes are largely controlled by the actin cytoskeleton\, a dynamic filament network beneath the plasma membrane. Some cell types can form extended free-standing protrusions that are not supported by an extracellular substrate\, and whose initiation is thought to rely on proteins that modulate actin dynamics through sensitivity to membrane curvature. I will present a theoretical model for a free-standing viscous actin network growing on a corrugated membrane\, which couples active-gel mechanics\, membrane deformation\, and the recruitment of curvature-sensitive actin nucleators. The model shows that uniform actin polymerization stabilizes membrane shape\, whereas curvature-dependent nucleation can render the membrane linearly unstable and drive spontaneous deformations with a well-defined wavelength that could initiate protrusions. To explore these processes beyond the linear regime\, we develop a finite-element framework that captures nonlinear deformations of fluid and elastic layers\, opening the way to realistic simulations of actin-driven membrane shape changes.
