    Abstract The structure of arterial networks is optimized to allow efficient flow delivery to metabolically active tissues. Optimization of flow delivery is a continuous process involving synchronization of the structure and function of the microcirculation with the upstream arterial network. Risk factors for ischemic cardiovascular diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia, adversely affect endothelial function, induce capillary regression, and disrupt the micro- to macrocirculation cross-talk. We provide evidence showing that this loss of synchronization reduces arterial collateral network recruitment upon arterial stenosis, and the long-term clinical outcome of current revascularization strategies in these patient cohorts. We describe mechanisms and signals contributing to synchronized growth of micro- and macrocirculation in development and upon ischemic challenges in the adult organism and identify potential therapeutic targets. We conclude that a long-term successful revascularization strategy should aim at both removing obstructions in the proximal part of the arterial tree and restoring "bottom-up" vascular communication.

    Abstract Cumulative effects assessment (CEA), as a required practice for the environmental assessment (EA) of projects in many countries, faces several practical challenges, especially related to biodiversity. Drawing on the perspectives and experiences of Canadian EA practitioners, this paper explores options or drivers of change for improving project-based assessment to better tackle cumulative effects on biodiversity. An on-line survey was conducted with 40 professionals from the private sector, government departments/agencies, universities, and non-governmental organizations, examining the current challenges and opportunities regarding: CEA process for biodiversity; responsibilities for undertaking CEA tasks; resources to support and promote good CEA practice. In terms of process, there is shared understanding on: (i) the need of EA terms of reference to provide specific directions on CEA; (ii) CEA should capture both human and natural drivers of cumulative change; (iii) spatial boundaries for CEA should be based on ecological boundaries. There are dissenting views about: (i) whether CEA should consider all valued components (VCs) potentially affected by a project or only those for which residual effects are predicted; and (ii) delimitation of future temporal limits. In terms of responsibilities, participants agreed that project proponents should retain a central role in conducting CEA, but government agencies should lead the collection/provision of information about other projects in the study area and baseline VC conditions. Information and knowledge management resources could be also applied in the context of governmental agencies and consultancy firms to support CEA for biodiversity.

    Abstract Since clinical revascularization techniques of coronary or peripheral artery disease (CAD/PAD) focus on macrovessels of the heart, the microcirculatory compartment largely goes unnoticed. However, cardiovascular risk factors not only drive large vessel atherosclerosis, but also microcirculatory rarefaction, an instance unmet by current therapeutic schemes. Angiogenic gene therapy has the potential to reverse capillary rarefaction, but only if the disease-causing inflammation and vessel-destabilization are addressed. This review summarizes the current knowledge with regard to capillary rarefaction due to cardiovascular risk factors. Moreover, the potential of Thymosin ß4 (Tß4) and its downstream signal, myocardin-related transcription factor-A (MRTF-A), to counteract capillary rarefaction are discussed.

    Abstract Empirical evidence suggests that the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs a broad range of mechanisms to regulate gene transcription throughout the organism's complex life cycle. To better understand this regulatory machinery, we assembled a rich collection of genomic and epigenomic data sets, including information about transcription factor (TF) binding motifs, patterns of covalent histone modifications, nucleosome occupancy, GC content, and global 3D genome architecture. We used these data to train machine learning models to discriminate between high-expression and low-expression genes, focusing on three distinct stages of the red blood cell phase of the Plasmodium life cycle. Our results highlight the importance of histone modifications and 3D chromatin architecture in Plasmodium transcriptional regulation and suggest that AP2 transcription factors may play a limited regulatory role, perhaps operating in conjunction with epigenetic factors.

    Abstract Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF)-associated liver disease (CFLD) causes significant morbidity and mortality in children with CF. Diagnosis of liver disease prior to development of cirrhosis or portal hypertension (PHT) is challenging. While imaging modalities using Elastography show great promise they are still not widely available to all clinicians. This study investigated gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-to-platelet ratio (GPR) as a non-invasive biomarker to detect liver disease and stage fibrosis severity in children with CF.
    Methods: 237 children were enroled including 76 with CFLD and 161 with CF and no detectable liver disease (CFnoLD). CFLD was diagnosed using standard clinical, biochemical and imaging practice guidelines. Hepatic fibrosis was staged on liver biopsies available from 54 children with CFLD. Serum liver biochemistry was used to calculate GPR (median, [IQR]) and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis assessed utility to detect liver disease and stage fibrosis severity.
    Results: GPR was significantly increased in CFLD versus CFnoLD (0.33 [0.19-0.96] vs. 0.15 [0.11-0.21], P<0.0001). GPR demonstrated good diagnostic utility for detecting CFLD with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.81 (95% confidence Interval [CI] [0.75-0.87]; P<0.0001), with sensitivity of 74% and specificity of 73%, using a cut-off of 0.20. GPR increased with increasing hepatic fibrosis stage. GPR discriminated both moderate-advanced (F2-F4) fibrosis vs. F0-F1 (AUC=0.82; 95%CI [0.71-0.94]; P<0.0001) and advanced (F3-F4) fibrosis vs. F0-F2 (AUC=0.77; 95%CI [0.64-0.90]; P = 0.004), with a cut-off 0.32 and 0.61, respectively. An elevated GPR of >0.84 was predictive of PHT at diagnosis of CFLD (AUC=0.81; 95%CI [0.67-0.95]; P = 0.0003).
    Conclusions: GPR demonstrates good diagnostic utility for assessing the presence of liver disease, PHT and hepatic fibrosis severity in children with CF. These findings will aid in better identification of patients at risk for CF-related liver involvement and the potential for more targeted and timely follow-up and treatment.
