Population connectivity shapes the distribution and complexity of chimpanzee cumulative culture.
Gunasekaram C, Battiston F, Sadekar O, Padilla-Iglesias C, van Noordwijk MA, Furrer R, Manica A, Bertranpetit J, Whiten A, van Schaik CP, Vinicius L, Migliano AB
Although cumulative culture is a hallmark of hominin evolution, its origins can be traced back to our common ancestor with chimpanzees. Here, we investigated the evolutionary origins of chimpanzee cumulative culture and why it remained incipient. To trace cultural transmission among the four chimpanzee subspecies, we compared population networks based on genetic markers of recent migration and shared cultural traits. We show that limited levels of group connectivity favored the emergence of a fe...

Effects of Neoadjuvant Therapy on Tumour Target Expression of Oesophageal Cancer Tissue for NIR Fluorescence Imaging.
Galema HA, Neijenhuis LKA, Lauwerends LJ, Dekker-Ensink NG, Verhoef C, Vahrmeijer AL, Bhairosingh SS, Kuppen PJK, Rogalla S, Burggraaf J, Lagarde SM, Wijnhoven BPL, Hutteman M, Doukas M, Keereweer S, Hilling DE
Purpose: Oesophaegal cancer patients with a clinical complete response (CR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) are candidates for an active surveillance strategy. Regrowth rates of 40% after initial clinical CR indicate that identification of a true complete response to nCRT remains challenging. Near-infrared tumour-specific fluorescence endoscopic imaging might help to discriminate patients with a true complete response from patients with residual disease. This study aims to find potent...

Age-related loss of intestinal barrier integrity plays an integral role in thymic involution and T cell ageing.
Conway J, De Jong EN, White AJ, Dugan B, Rees NP, Parnell SM, Lamberte LE, Sharma-Oates A, Sullivan J, Mauro C, van Schaik W, Anderson G, Bowdish DME, Duggal NA
The intestinal epithelium serves as a physical and functional barrier against harmful substances, preventing their entry into the circulation and subsequent induction of a systemic immune response. Gut barrier dysfunction has recently emerged as a feature of ageing linked to declining health, and increased intestinal membrane permeability has been shown to promote heightened systemic inflammation in aged hosts. Concurrent with age-related changes in the gut microbiome, the thymic microenvironmen...

Unilateral-access vs. bilateral-access in transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A slim fit approach.
Pereira AR, Al Jaff AAM, Montero-Cabezas J, de Weger A, Candura D, Jukema JW, Arslan F, Regeer MV, Ajmone Marsan N, van-der-Kley F
Background: Vascular complications remain prevalent on transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TF-TAVR) with a significant proportion related to the secondary arterial access. We hypothesized that placing the second sheath ipsilateral and distal to the delivery sheath could reduce vascular complications with similar safety and efficacy. Objectives: Comparing vascular complications and clinical outcomes when placing the secondary arterial sheath in the ipsilateral (unilateral-access)...

Diagnostic Value of Maximal Systolic Acceleration Measurements in the Follow-up of Complex Endovascular Aortic Repair: Illustration of a Concept.
Willems SA, Brouwers JJWM, Hamming JF, Hinnen JW, van der Vorst JR, van Schaik J
Purpose: After complex endovascular aortic repair (cEVAR), long-term surveillance is advocated to monitor for potential (stent-related) complications. Although various imaging modalities are used, computed tomography angiography remains the standard in current clinical practice worldwide. However, radiopaque markers can cause metal artifacts and scattering, hampering assessment of patency of side branches. The maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) is a relatively new duplex ultrasound (DUS) par...

Preoperative methionine restriction induces perivascular adipose tissue browning and improves vein graft remodeling in male mice.
Kip P, Sluiter TJ, MacArthur MR, Tao M, Kruit N, Mitchell SJ, Jung J, Kooijman S, Gorham J, Seidman JG, Quax PHA, Decano JL, Aikawa M, Ozaki CK, Mitchell JR, de Vries MR
Short-term preoperative methionine restriction (MetR) is a promising translatable strategy to mitigate surgical injury response. However, its application to improve post-interventional vascular remodeling remains underexplored. Here we find that MetR protects from arterial intimal hyperplasia in a focal stenosis model and pathologic vascular remodeling following vein graft surgery in male mice. RNA sequencing reveals that MetR enhances browning in arterial (thoracic aorta) perivascular adipose t...
