Last summer, Gov. Wes Moore (D) made the bold decision to revive the Baltimore Red Line project. Serious questions remain, including which transit mode to pursue, how to pass through downtown, East Baltimore and approach Bayview. Answering these questions will largely depend on costs.

This places strict limits on the kinds of systems that can exhibit adaptation spontaneously, i.e. without design. Physical systems can show some properties relevant to adaptation without natural selection or design.

AbstractHow do multiple active components at one level of organisation create agential wholes at higher levels of organisation? For example, in organismic development, how does the multi-scale autonomy of the organism arise from the interactions of the molecules, cells and tissues that an organism contains? And, in the major evolutionary transitions, how does a multicellular organism, for example, arise as an evolutionary unit from the selective interests of its unicellular ancestors?

AbstractFrozen shoulder is a spontaneously self-resolving chronic inflammatory fibrotic human disease, which distinguishes the condition from most fibrotic diseases that are progressive and irreversible. Using single-cell analysis, we identify pro-inflammatory MERTKlowCD48+ macrophages and MERTK + LYVE1 + MRC1+ macrophages enriched for negative regulators of inflammation which co-exist in frozen shoulder capsule tissues.
