BIOS-07. GRADUAL METABOLIC ALTERATIONS RESTRUCTURE THE SPATIAL ARCHITECTURE AND IMMUNITY IN GLIOBLASTOMA

Abstract The organized layered structure of the human neocortex contrasts sharply with the chaotic architecture of malignant CNS tumors. The heterogenous nature of glioblastoma (GBM) poses significant challenges to research and treatment, given that effective strategies require consistent biological patterns. Here, we leverage recent advances in spatial biology, integrating spatially resolved transcriptomics and metabolomics to identify drivers of GBM-specific architectural evolution. We performed spatial metabolomics (MALDI) and transcriptomics (Visium n=43 and MERFISH n=25) on glioblastoma patients, with computational analysis conducted using the SPATA2 R package. Our findings reveal that most spatial recurrent patterns in glioblastoma emerge in a gradient-like organization, particularly influenced by proximity to areas of necrosis and hypoxia. Samples without hypoxic regions demonstrated less spatial organization. Metabolomic and transcriptomic profiling indicated enhanced responses to hypoxia, reduced cell proliferation, and elevated expression indicative of the S phase in cell division near necrotic regions. The vicinity to hypoxic areas was associated with increased extracellular matrix remodeling and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, suggesting that the invasive capabilities of GBM cells originate from these hypoxic niches. By further integrating spatially resolved TCR-sequencing, we identified that hypoxic gradients drive defined T cell responses with a higher likelihood of T cell dysfunction within a distance of 235 µm (sd: 132 µm) to hypoxia. This suggests that the presence of necrosis, hypoxia, and hypoxia-associated metabolites could serve as potential predictive markers for T-cell behavior and exhaustion in glioblastoma. Our study offers an in-depth analysis of the influence of two prevalent niches in glioblastoma: necrosis and hypoxia. We reveal that the complex architecture of glioblastoma is not solely dictated by genetic randomness and stochastic occurrences but is significantly influenced by spatial proximity to key factors like necrosis and hypoxia. This insight contributes to an evolving model that seeks to unravel the intricate biology underpinning this formidable disease.

Mapping the post-18th Amendment federalism in Pakistan: hegemony, centralization or cooperation?

ABSTRACT The 1973 Constitution accelerated the development of federalism in Pakistan. Federalizing institutions such as the Senate and the Council of Common Interests (CCI) were introduced. The 18th Amendment passed in 2010 marked a critical juncture in the constitutional history of Pakistan, moving the country from de jure to de facto federalism. Considering the path-dependent evolution of the federal architecture in the country, there is a need to investigate the political developments that led to this amendment, the key changes introduced in the constitution and the contentious process of its implementation. We situate these issues within the broader debate on federalism, with a focus on various dimensions of the federal system after 2010. This includes the discussion of intergovernmental relations, opening the space for provincial autonomy in administrative and fiscal domains, mobilization for new provinces by ethnic minorities and the struggle of a peripheral region to seek membership of the federation.

Ontogenetic correlates, not direct adaptation, explain the evolution of stelar morphology.

The primary vascular system of plants (the stele) has attracted interest from paleobotanists, developmental biologists, systematists, and physiologists for nearly two centuries. Ferns, with their diverse stelar morphology, deep evolutionary history, and prominent fossil record, have been a major focus in studies of the stele. To explain the diversity of stelar morphology, past adaptive hypotheses have invoked biomechanics, hydraulics, and drought tolerance as key selection pressures in the evolution of stelar complexity; but, these hypotheses often isolate the stele from a whole-plant developmental context, ignoring potential covariation between vascular patterning and shoot morphology. Furthermore, incongruence between expected patterns and observed data challenge adaptive hypotheses, precluding a comprehensive explanation of stelar evolution. While ontogeny has been previously recognized as a factor in stelar diversification, it has not been fully integrated into a comprehensive framework. Here we synthesize 150-years of research on stelar morphology, incorporating developmental, physiological, and phylogenetic data to present the ontogenetic hypothesis of stelar evolution. This hypothesis posits that stelar morphology is an integrated feature of whole-plant ontogeny, not a trait shaped by direct selection for adaptive patterns. This shift in perspective provides an updated framework for understanding the determinants of stelar morphology and focusses future efforts to ask more incisive questions about the evolution and function of primary vascular architecture.

Global Invasion History and Genomic Signatures of Adaptation of the Highly Invasive Sycamore Lace Bug.

Invasive species cause massive economic and ecological damage. Climate change has resulted in an unprecedented increase in the number and impact of invasive species; however, the mechanisms underlying these invasions are unclear. The sycamore lace bug, Corythucha ciliata, is a highly invasive species originating from North America and has expanded across the Northern Hemisphere since the 1960s. In this study, we assembled the C. ciliata genome using high-coverage Pacific Biosciences (PacBio), Illumina, and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) sequencing. A total of 15,278 protein-coding genes were identified, and expansions of gene families with oxidoreductase and metabolic activities were observed. In-depth resequencing of 402 samples from native and nine invaded countries across three continents revealed 2.74 million single nucleotide polymorphisms. Two major invasion routes of C. ciliata were identified from North America to Europe and Japan, with a contact zone forming in East Asia. Genomic signatures of selection associated with invasion and long-term balancing selection in native ranges were identified. These genomic signatures overlapped with expanded genes, suggesting improvements in the oxidative stress and thermal tolerance of C. ciliata. These findings offer valuable insights into the genomic architecture and adaptive evolution underlying the invasive capabilities of species during rapid environmental changes.

ISAC‐oriented access point placement in cell‐free mMIMO systems

AbstractIn mobile communication networks for integrated sensing and communication, site planning of access points fundamentally determines both communication quality and sensing performance. This paper aims to tackle the AP placement problem under the setting of cell‐free massive multiple‐input multiple‐output, which represents a promising direction for network architecture evolution. Seeking a balance between the sum‐throughput of communication and the Cramér–Rao lower bound of target sensing, the access points are first pre‐placed by solving a convex optimization and further adjusted with optimal angular geometry. The final step involves employing nearest neighbour projection to refine access point positions in the cell‐free massive multiple‐input multiple‐output system, ensuring alignment with integrated sensing and communication requirements. The numerical results show that the proposed algorithm achieves 90% of the optimal communication sum‐rate and 95% of the optimal target localization accuracy.

Sequence stratigraphic architecture and depositional evolution of the early Eocene-early Miocene Al Jabal Al Akhdar carbonate successions, N Cyrenaica Promontory, NE Libya – Interplay of tectonics and eustasy

The interactions of tectonics and eustasy on the stratigraphic architectural evolution of the early Eocene-early Miocene Al Jabal Al Akhdar carbonate sedimentary successions were evaluated. This evaluation was achieved through detailed analyses of microfacies, depositional interpretation, and sequence stratigraphic framework of five measured sections located within the Al Jabal Al Akhdar Uplift, northeast Libya. The study interval was subdivided into distinct microfacies based on lithological changes, grain size and components, sedimentary texture and structures, fossil contents, color, and vertical stacking pattern. Six major depositional settings were delineated: restricted lagoon, open marine lagoon, platform margin and shoals, platform-margin reefs, foreslope, and middle to lower slope. Four third-order unconformity-bounded depositional sequences were identified based on vertical and lateral facies distribution, variations in fossil contents, and diagenetic features. Each sequence is composed of a transgressive-regressive interval, except for the younger sequence, which only contains a transgressive unit. Four evolutionary stages are recognized: initiation, growth, high-relief platform, and subaerial exposure. Subsidence resulting from tectonism and sediment loading, coupled with rising sea-level, created the accommodation space for the sedimentation of the studied carbonates. Repeated eustatic sea-level fluctuations controlled the internal stratigraphic heterogeneity and sequence development. Tectonic uplift caused a major sea-level retreat, resulting in the emersion of the carbonate sequences. The pre-existing Mesozoic and Paleocene sequences that underwent major uplift during the Late Cretaceous-early Eocene formed a shallow-water positive-antecedent topography for the formation of the carbonate sediments. This study establishes a carbonate sequence stratigraphic hierarchy of different cyclic sedimentation orders and improves our knowledge of sedimentary and stratigraphic architectural evolution and depositional mechanisms of carbonate platforms in an inverted basin setting. This knowledge can aid in predicting the distribution of lithofacies and depositional systems of economic importance.
