Multimodal communication and language origins: integrating gestures and vocalizations.
Fröhlich M, Sievers C, Townsend SW, Gruber T, van Schaik CP
The presence of divergent and independent research traditions in the gestural and vocal domains of primate communication has resulted in major discrepancies in the definition and operationalization of cognitive concepts. However, in recent years, accumulating evidence from behavioural and neurobiological research has shown that both human and non-human primate communication is inherently multimodal. It is therefore timely to integrate the study of gestural and vocal communication. Herein, we rev...

Scalable microphysiological system to model three-dimensional blood vessels.
de Graaf MNS, Cochrane A, van den Hil FE, Buijsman W, van der Meer AD, van den Berg A, Mummery CL, Orlova VV
Blood vessel models are increasingly recognized to have value in understanding disease and drug discovery. However, continued improvements are required to more accurately reflect human vessel physiology. Realistic three-dimensional (3D) in vitro cultures of human vascular cells inside microfluidic chips, or vessels-on-chips (VoC), could contribute to this since they can recapitulate aspects of the in vivo microenvironment by including mechanical stimuli such as shear stress. Here, we used human...

Lansac E, Youssefi P, de Heer F, Bavaria J, De Kerchove L, El-Hamamsy I, Elkhoury G, Enriquez-Sarano M, Jondeau LG, Kluin J, Pibarot P, Schäfers HJ, Vanoverschelde JL, Takkenberg JJM, Aortic Valve Repair Research Network Investigators from the Heart Valve Society, Collaborators
Aortic valve surgery in non-elderly patients represents a very challenging patient population. The younger the patient is at the point of aortic valve intervention, the longer their anticipated life expectancy will be, with longer exposure to valve-related complications and risk for re-operation. Although the latest international guidelines recommend aortic valve repair in patients with aortic valve insufficiency, what we see in the real world is that the vast majority of these aortic valves are...

Motion tracking of parents' infant- versus adult-directed actions reveals general and action-specific modulations.
van Schaik JE, Meyer M, van Ham CR, Hunnius S
Parents tend to modulate their movements when demonstrating actions to their infants. Thus far, these modulations have primarily been quantified by human raters and for entire interactions, thereby possibly overlooking the intricacy of such demonstrations. Using optical motion tracking, the precise modulations of parents' infant-directed actions were quantified and compared to adult-directed actions and between action types. Parents demonstrated four novel objects to their 14-month-old infa...
