Cell-Based Tracers as Trojan Horses for Image-Guided Surgery.
Sier VQ, de Vries MR, van der Vorst JR, Vahrmeijer AL, van Kooten C, Cruz LJ, de Geus-Oei LF, Ferreira V, Sier CFM, Alves F, Muthana M
Surgeons rely almost completely on their own vision and palpation to recognize affected tissues during surgery. Consequently, they are often unable to distinguish between different cells and tissue types. This makes accurate and complete resection cumbersome. Targeted image-guided surgery (IGS) provides a solution by enabling real-time tissue recognition. Most current targeting agents (tracers) consist of antibodies or peptides equipped with a radiolabel for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) an...

Human Noroviruses Attach to Intestinal Tissues of a Broad Range of Animal Species.
Villabruna N, Schapendonk CME, Aron GI, Koopmans MPG, de Graaf M
Human noroviruses are the most common nonbacterial cause of gastroenteritis outbreaks, with new variants and genotypes frequently emerging. The origin of these new viruses is unknown; however, animals have been proposed as a potential source, as human noroviruses have been detected in animal species. Here, we investigated the potential of animals to serve as a reservoir of human noroviruses by testing norovirus attachment to formalin-fixed intestinal tissues of a range of potential reservoir ani...

Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Alirocumab After Acute Coronary Syndrome According to Achieved Level of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES Trial.
Schwartz GG, Gabriel Steg P, Bhatt DL, Bittner VA, Diaz R, Goodman SG, Jukema JW, Kim YU, Li QH, Manvelian G, Pordy R, Sourdille T, White HD, Szarek M, ODYSSEY OUTCOMES Committees and Investigators
Background: Recent international guidelines have lowered recommended target levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) for patients at very high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). However, uncertainty persists whether additional benefit results from achieved LDL-C levels below the conventional targets. Inferences from previous analyses are limited because patients who achieve lower versus higher LDL-C on lipid-lowering therapy differ in other characteristics prognost...

Clinical controversies in the treatment of cancer-associated venous thromboembolism.
Nachar VR, Schepers AJ
Cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication of malignancy. Patients with cancer exhibit risk factors for both recurrent VTE and major or minor bleeding. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are an attractive treatment option; however, there is a lack of consensus among national guidelines for choice between DOACs and LMWH, agent selection, dosing strategy, and duration of anticoagulation. Characteristics of the thrombotic event, the malignancy, the patient, and the anti...

Higher social tolerance in wild versus captive common marmosets: the role of interdependence.
de Oliveira Terceiro FE, Arruda MF, van Schaik CP, Araújo A, Burkart JM
Social tolerance in a group reflects the balance between within-group competition and interdependence: whereas increased competition leads to a reduction in social tolerance, increased interdependence increases it. Captivity reduces both feeding competition and interdependence and can therefore affect social tolerance. In independently breeding primates, social tolerance has been shown to be higher in captivity, indicating a strong effect of food abundance. It is not known, however, how social t...

Endothelial Dysfunction in Pulmonary Hypertension: Cause or Consequence?
Kurakula K, Smolders VFED, Tura-Ceide O, Jukema JW, Quax PHA, Goumans MJ
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, complex, and progressive disease that is characterized by the abnormal remodeling of the pulmonary arteries that leads to right ventricular failure and death. Although our understanding of the causes for abnormal vascular remodeling in PAH is limited, accumulating evidence indicates that endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction is one of the first triggers initiating this process. EC dysfunction leads to the activation of several cellular signalling path...

Stimulatory, but not anxiogenic, doses of caffeine act centrally to activate interscapular brown adipose tissue thermogenesis in anesthetized male rats.
Van Schaik L, Kettle C, Green R, Sievers W, Hale MW, Irving HR, Whelan DR, Rathner JA
The role of central orexin in the sympathetic control of interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) thermogenesis has been established in rodents. Stimulatory doses of caffeine activate orexin positive neurons in the lateral hypothalamus, a region of the brain implicated in stimulating BAT thermogenesis. This study tests the hypothesis that central administration of caffeine is sufficient to activate BAT. Low doses of caffeine administered either systemically (intravenous [IV]; 10 mg/kg) and cent...

Investigation of the pathway dependent endocytosis of gold nanoparticles by surface-enhanced Raman scattering.
Yılmaz D, Culha M
Endocytosis is a critical mechanism providing not only internalization of biomacromolecular structures but also communication with the environment where cells reside. Due to being the first step at the interaction interface, the route of cellular uptake has a major role governing the intracellular destinations and behaviors of molecular and non-molecular species including nanoparticles. To this end, various methods employing variety of techniques are investigated. In this study, surface-enhanced...
