Slowly but Surely: Larger Brains Improve Immature Survival in Primates.
Song Z, van Schaik CP
The high energy costs of brains suggest that a species' current brain size is adaptive. However, although the comparative data for mammals suggest a positive effect on fitness in larger-brained species because of higher adult survival and thus longer lifespan, it also reveals two negative effects, namely later age at first reproduction owing to slower development and a tendency towards reduced reproductive allocation owing to larger newborns. Here we suggest that what is missing is the posi...

Coordinated control of genome-nuclear lamina interactions by topoisomerase 2B and lamin B receptor.
van Schaik T, Magnitov M, de Haas M, Breda J, de Wit E, Manjon AG, Medema RH, Gothe HJ, Roukos V, Buckle AJ, Naughton C, Gilbert N, van Steensel B, Manzo SG
Lamina-associated domains (LADs) are megabase-sized genomic regions anchored to the nuclear lamina (NL). Factors controlling the interactions of the genome with the NL have largely remained elusive. Here, we identified DNA topoisomerase 2 beta (TOP2B) as a regulator of these interactions. TOP2B binds predominantly to inter-LAD (iLAD) chromatin and its depletion results in a partial loss of genomic partitioning between LADs and iLADs, suggesting that this enzyme might protect specific iLADs from...

Interactions between the genome and the nuclear lamina are multivalent and cooperative.
Dauban L, Eder M, de Haas M, Franceschini-Santos VH, Yañez-Cuna JO, Martinovic M, van Schaik T, Leemans C, Teunissen H, Rademaker K, Martinez Ara M, Verkuilen M, de Wit E, van Steensel B
Lamina-associated domains (LADs) are megabase-sized genomic regions that interact with the nuclear lamina (NL). It is not yet understood how their interactions with the NL are encoded in their DNA. Here we designed an efficient LAD 'scrambling' approach, based on transposon-mediated local hopping of loxP recombination sites, to generate series of large deletions and inversions that span LADs and flanking sequences. Mapping of NL interactions in these rearrangements revealed that, in mo...

Cooperative Breeding as a Likely Early Catalyst of Human Evolution.
Burkart JM, Cerrito P, Natalucci G, van Schaik CP
Unlike any other great ape, humans give birth to large, secondarily altricial babies, show precocial social development, have bigger brains that require a long maturation period, and engage in cooperative breeding (CB). These traits, which characterize the human adaptive complex, are intricately linked and must have mutually reinforced each other over evolutionary time. Here, we use recent evidence from paleontology, developmental psychology, and pediatrics, complemented with comparative analyse...

Heart Failure Impacts Endothelial Cell Responses to Cardiac Surgery on Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
Papazisi O, Postma RJ, Dirven RJ, Beeres SLMA, Berendsen RR, Arbous SM, Klautz RJM, van Vessem ME, Bijkerk R, Lindeman JHN, Palmen M, van Zonneveld AJ
Patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are at an increased risk of developing postoperative hemodynamic instability and vasoplegia after surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Potentially pre-existing endothelial cell (EC) alterations due to chronic HF influence EC responses to cardiac surgery and might be responsible for the altered vascular responsiveness observed postoperatively. In this study, well-described EC activation markers were measured in blood samples...
