    Title translation Lung cancer screening: what can we tell our patients while we await a screening program ?
    Abstract The NLST study in the United States showed, in 2011, that low-dose lung CT scans can reduce lung cancer mortality but was limited in its routine recommendation by 96% of false positive screening results. The European NELSON trial, published in 2020, confirmed a 24% decrease in lung cancer mortality and, by using lung nodule volume and volume doubling time, decreased false positive results to 56% of positive tests. The implementation of screening programs is now expected in Europe, including Switzerland. In anticipation, we have developed a decision aid to present patients with the benefits (decreased lung cancer mortality), risks (false positives and indeterminate results), and uncertainties (incidental findings) of lung cancer screening.

    Assessing the Contributions of Urban Agriculture to Local Food Decision-Making

    Abstract This article presents the contributions of Urban Agriculture practitioners in establishing the local food movement and the foundations of an active food democracy in London. It argues that food democracy is emerging from a set of contestations within institutional channels, but also through the historical struggle of formulating the dominating political discourses, both of which are co-constituted through specific social and political practices. Webster and Engberg-Pedersen’s political space framework (2002) breaks up this article in order to describe: 1) How specific institutional channels form different strategies of collaboration and contestation; 2) how these are reflected in political discourses evolution; and 3) what dilemmas and opportunities this evolution in practice entails in relation to responsibilisation and its influence on the possibility of establishing true active food democracy in London.

    Abstract Abstract Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on biopolymers accompanies cellular aging and drives poorly understood disease processes. Here, we studied how AGEs contribute to development of early onset Parkinson’s Disease (PD) caused by loss-of-function of DJ1, a protein deglycase. In induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived midbrain organoid models deficient for DJ1 activity, we find that lysosomal proteolysis is impaired, causing AGEs to accumulate, α-synuclein (α-syn) phosphorylation to increase, and proteins to aggregate. We demonstrated these processes are at least partly driven by astrocytes, as DJ1 loss reduces their capacity to provide metabolic support and triggers acquisition of a pro-inflammatory phenotype. Consistently, in co-cultures, we find that DJ1-expressing astrocytes are able to reverse the proteolysis deficits of DJ1 knockout midbrain neurons. In conclusion, astrocytes’ capacity to clear toxic damaged proteins is critical to preserve neuronal function and their dysfunction contributes to the neurodegeneration observed in a DJ1 loss-of-function PD model.

    Abstract We are reporting on the observation of a large, under-sequenced region of the S gene of the SARS-CoV2 Delta variant genomes, identified in sequences originating from various sequencing centres worldwide (e.g. USA, India, England, Switzerland, France, Germany). This poorly sequenced region was identified from the early phases of the Delta variant spread and the phenomenon is still ongoing. As many commonly-used protocols rely on amplicon-based sequencing procedures, we investigated the likely origin of the issue. We established its biological origin as resulting from mutations in the viral genomes at primer binding sites. We designed and evaluated new PCR primers to circumvent this issue in order to complement the ARTIC v3 set, and validated their performance for the sequencing of circulating Delta variants.

    Abstract Abstract Sensitivity to recipient’s attention and responsiveness are critical markers of intentional communication. Although previous research showed that ape gestures can be intentional, few studies have yet addressed this question concerning monkeys. Here, we characterise the effect of a recipient’s presence, attentional state and responsiveness on the interspecific gestural communication of captive red-capped mangabeys (Cercocebus torquatus). Previous reports showed that they produced learnt begging gestures towards a human recipient preferentially when the latter was facing them. We used here a novel setup that allows subjects to move around an experimenter and to use different modalities (visual and acoustic) to communicate. We found that when the recipient was not facing them, mangabeys moved to a position in the visual field of their recipient rather than using attention-getters. Interestingly, unlike apes, they did not elaborate their communication visually or acoustically when the experimenter did not respond favourably to their begging. However, our results may suggest that begging gestures were goal-directed, since mangabeys inhibited them when the experimenter was not available to answer immediately (i.e. give a reward). Overall, red-capped mangabeys’ interspecific visual communication presented intentionality features, but their use of begging gestures was less flexible than that of great apes in similar situations.

    Abstract Owing to their multiple charges and their nanometric size, polyoxometalates (POMs) are at the frontier between ions and charged colloids. We investigated here the effect of POM–POM electrostatics repulsions on their self-diffusion in water by varying POM and supporting salt concentrations. The self-diffusion coefficients of two Keggin’s POMs [silicotungstate (SiW12O404–) and phosphotungstate (PW12O403–)] were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and 1H/31P DOSY NMR, whereas POM–POM electrostatic repulsions were investigated by the determination of the static structure factors using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The self-diffusion coefficients for the two POMs and for different POM/background salt concentrations were collected in a master curve by comparing the averaged POM–POM distance in solution to the Debye length. As for classical charged colloids, we show that the POM’s counterions should not be considered in the calculation of the ionic strength that governs POM–POM electrostatic repulsions. This result was confirmed by fitting the POM–POM structure factor by considering a pair potential of spherical charged particles using the well-known Hayter mean spherical approximation (MSA). These Keggin POMs also behave as (super)chaotropic anions (i.e., they have a strong propensity to adsorb on (neutral polar) surfaces, which was also investigated) here on the surface of octyl-β-glucoside (C8G1) micelles. The variations of (i) the chemical shift of 1H/31P NMR signals and (ii) the self-diffusion coefficients obtained by DOSY 1H/31P NMR of PW3– and of C8G1 were in good agreement, confirming the strong adsorption of POMs on the micelle polar surface from static and dynamic points of view. We concluded that Keggin’s POMs behave (i) as anions because they adsorb on surfaces as chaotropic anions and (ii) as colloids because they can be described by a classical colloidal approach by dynamic and static scattering techniques (i.e., by the investigation of their interparticle electrostatic structure factor and self-diffusion without considering the POM’s counterions in the ionic strength calculation). This work highlights the dynamic properties of POMs at soft interfaces compared to bulk aqueous solution, which is essential in the understanding of functional properties of POMs, such as (photo)catalysis and the rational design of POM-based hybrid nanomaterials from soft templating routes (i.e., in aqueous solutions at room temperature).
