Here we demonstrate that such a transition is driven by the non-monotonic evolution of nematic topological defects in a layer of endothelial cells and the emergence of string excitations that bind the defects together. This suggests the existence of an intermediate phase of ordering kinetics in biological matter. We use time-resolved large-scale imaging and physical modelling to analyse the non-monotonic decrease in the number of defect pairs. The interaction of the intrinsic cell layer activity and the alignment field determines the occurrence of defect domains, which defines the nature of the transition. Defect pair annihilation is mediated by string excitations spanning multicellular scales within the cell layer. Our results, therefore, suggest a mechanism by which intermediate ordering and string excitation might contribute to regulating morphogenetic movements and tissue remodelling in vivo. Imposing shear flow on a cell layer induces an ordering transition. Now it is shown that an intermediate phase of ordering occurs driven by an interplay between cellular activity and the aligning field.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"21 10","pages":"1629-1637"},"PeriodicalIF":18.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.comhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-025-03014-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145285000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon is detrimental to imaging, as it causes full blurring of the image. Here we describe a method for detecting, localizing and characterizing any scattering target embedded in a complex medium. We introduce a fingerprint operator that contains the specific signature of the target with respect to its environment. When applied to the recorded reflection matrix, it provides a likelihood index of the target state. This state can be the position of the target for localization purposes, its shape for characterization or any other parameter that influences its response. We demonstrate the versatility of our method by performing proof-of-concept ultrasound experiments on elastic spheres buried inside a strongly scattering granular suspension and on lesion markers, which are commonly used to monitor breast tumours, embedded in a foam mimicking soft tissue. Furthermore, we show how the fingerprint operator can be leveraged to characterize the complex medium itself by mapping the fibre architecture within muscle tissue. Our method is broadly applicable to different types of waves beyond ultrasound for which multi-element technology allows a reflection matrix to be measured. Imaging through complex media is challenging because scattering results in image blurring. By introducing a fingerprint operator and applying it to the measured reflection matrix, information on a target within a complex medium becomes accessible.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"21 10","pages":"1609-1615"},"PeriodicalIF":18.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145284990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
