AAMP and MTSS1 Are Novel Negative Regulators of Endothelial Barrier Function Identified in a Proteomics Screen by Fabienne Podieh, Max C. Overboom, Jaco C. Knol, Sander R. Piersma, Richard Goeij-de Haas, Thang V. Pham, Connie R. Jimenez, Peter L. Hordijk

“…Following short-term inhibition of ubiquitination with E1 ligase inhibitor MLN7243 or Cullin E3 ligase inhibitor MLN4924 in primary human endothelial cells, we identified sixty significantly differentially expressed proteins. Intriguingly, our data showed that AAMP and MTSS1 are novel negative regulators of endothelial barrier function and that their turnover is tightly controlled by ubiquitination. …”

Identification of the hemodynamic correlates of basic emotional states with a mobile functional near infrared spectroscopy system by Sinem Burcu Erdoğan

“…Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) system, for quantification of the similarities and differences in the spatial localization of cerebral hemodynamic activation, induced by visual presentation of neutral, negative and positive valence emotional stimuli.Method: Thirteen healthy subjects viewed neutral, pleasant and unpleasant pictures from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) database in a block design experiment while the prefrontal cortical hemodynamic changes induced by emotional stimuli were continuously recorded with a 20 channel fNIRS system that covered the forehead region.Results: Negative valence pictures induced higher hemodynamic activity in right lateralized regions involving dorsolateral and orbitofrontal cortex, when compared to neutral and positive valence stimuli (pFDR<0.05). …”
