Capacités vocales des primates non humains, des Homo sapiens et des hominines fossiles : un état de la question by Marion Laporte, Amélie Vialet

“…In this context, Philip Lieberman demonstrated that the descent of the larynx is a necessary condition for language, explaining why monkeys and Neanderthals lack it. This proposition dominated for half a century, hindering research on the vocal production of non-human primates used as a model to address the capacities of fossil hominins. …”

Establishing a Surgical Procedure for Rhesus Epiretinal Scaffold Implantation with HiPSC-Derived Retinal Progenitors by Ziming Luo, Kang Li, Kaijing Li, Bikun Xian, Ying Liu, Sijing Yang, Chaochao Xu, Zhigang Fan, Shoutao Lu, Haijun Zhang, Jian Ge

“…Second, three methods of scaffold fixation, including adhesion after gas-liquid exchange (n=1), tamponade by hydrogel (n=1), and fixation by retinal tacks (n=4), were performed in rhesus monkeys. After one month, fundus photography and SD-OCT were performed to assess the outcomes, and histological examination was performed to evaluate proliferation. …”

Multiorgan proteomic analysis of infected animal models predict potential host factors for chikungunya virus by Dongdong Lin, Cong Tang, Junbin Wang, Yun Yang, Hao Yang, Yanan Zhou, Wenhai Yu, Bai Li, Qing Huang, Haixuan Wang, Ran An, Xiaoming Liang, Yuhuan Yan, Longhai Yuan, Xuena Du, Yuxia Yuan, Yanwen Li, Shuaiyao Lu

“…We observed upregulated and downregulated metabolic status in CHIKV‐infected rhesus monkeys and mice, respectively. Additionally, we identified host factors such as S100 Calcium‐Binding Protein A8/A9 (S100A8/A9), Voltage‐Dependent Anion Channel 1/2 (VDAC1/2), Complement Component 3 (C3), Apoptosis‐Inducing Factor Mitochondria‐Associated 1 (AIFM1), Endothelial Cell‐Specific Chemotaxis Regulator (ECSCR), and Kininogen 1 (KNG1) that may contribute to CHIKV‐induced inflammation and hemorrhage. …”

A broad spectrum Shigella vaccine based on VirG53 – 353 multiepitope region produced in a cell-free system by Girmay Desalegn, Charlotte Abrahamson, K. Ross Turbyfill, Lucy Pill-Pepe, Leslie Bautista, Chitradevi S. Tamilselvi, Dylan Dunn, Neeraj Kapoor, Barbara Sullinger, Matheo Herrera, Edwin V. Oaks, Jeff Fairman, Marcela F. Pasetti

“…Seeking to refine the vaccine antigenic target and achieve scalable manufacturing compatible with Good Manufacturing Practices, we mapped linear B-cell epitopes spanning the entire VirG protein sequence by probing the immune reactivity of 10-mer peptides (overlapping 4–8 aa) with sera from Shigella-infected rhesus monkeys. The surface-exposed VirG53 – 353 subregion of the passenger α-domain demonstrated the highest and strongest immunoreactivity. …”

Discovery and development of ANV419, an IL-2/anti-IL-2 antibody fusion protein with potent CD8+ T and natural killer cell-stimulating capacity for cancer immunotherapy by Patrizia Murer, Barbara Brannetti, Jean-Michel Rondeau, Laetitia Petersen, Nicole Egli, Simone Popp, Catherine Regnier, Kirsten Richter, Andreas Katopodis, Christoph Huber

“…ANV419 also enhances the NK cell killing capacity and increases tumor growth inhibition when used alongside trastuzumab in a Her-2+ xenograft mouse model. In cynomolgus monkeys, the estimated half-life of ANV419 is 24 h, and doses that induced sustained expansion of effector cells were well tolerated without the severe toxicities typically observed with high-dose IL-2. …”
