#EEGManyLabs
There is growing awareness across the neuroscience community that the replicability of findings about the relationship between brain activity and cognitive phenomena can be improved by conducting studies with high statistical power that adhere to well-defined and standardised analysis pipelines. Inspired by recent efforts from the psychological sciences, and with the desire to examine some of the foundational findings using electroencephalog-raphy (EEG), we have launched #EEGManyLabs, a large-scale international collaborative replication effort. Since its discovery in the early 20th century, EEG has had a profound in-fluence on our understanding of human cognition, but there is limited evid…
Kinetische Untersuchungen zu Diels‐Alder‐Reaktionen des Cyclooctins mit anschließender Aromatisierung
Aus Cyclooctin (1) und den cyclischen Dienen 2a – g entstehen die Tricyclen 3a – g, die ganz unterschiedliche Stabilitat aufweisen. 3a, b, f und g zerfallen spontan. Unter Abspaltung von CO2, SO2, CO und N2 entstehen die aromatischen Verbindungen 4a – c. 3c eliminiert beim Erhitzen C2H4. 3e wird thermisch kaum mehr gespalten, aber ganz effizient bei der Photolyse, und 3d ist schlieslich gegenuber einer Aromatisierung stabil. Die thermische Ethylenabspaltung und die doppelte Photodecarbonylierung werden kinetisch untersucht.

T cells mediate autoantibody-induced cutaneous inflammation and blistering in epidermolysis bullosa acquisita
AbstractT cells are key players in autoimmune diseases by supporting the production of autoantibodies. However, their contribution to the effector phase of antibody-mediated autoimmune dermatoses, i.e., tissue injury and inflammation of the skin, has not been investigated. In this paper, we demonstrate that T cells amplify the development of autoantibody-induced tissue injury in a prototypical, organ-specific autoimmune disease, namely epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) – characterized and caused by autoantibodies targeting type VII collagen. Specifically, we show that immune complex (IC)-induced inflammation depends on the presence of T cells – a process facilitated by T cell receptor (…
Untersuchungen zur Konformation und elektronischen Struktur von Cyclooctadieninen
Die mit semiempirischer Quantenmechanik vorhergesagten Konformationen und elektronischen Strukturen der Cyclooctadienine 1 und 2 werden experimentell an Hand von 1H-NMR- und PE-Spektren verifiziert. Dabei wird Bezug genommen auf eine Reihe von anderen, verwandten Cycloalkinen 3–5 und Cycloalkenen 6–11. Wahrend die hohe geometrische Ringspannung entscheidenden Einflus auf 1 und 2 hat, ist eine Homoaromatizitat, die auf sechs nahezu eben angeordneten π-Elektronen-Zentren beruht, nicht signifikant. Investigations on the Conformation and the Electronic Structure of Cyclooctadienynes Conformations and electronic structures of the cyclooctadienynes 1 and 2, predicted by semi-empirical quantum mec…
NOSIP, a novel modulator of endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity.
Production of nitric oxide (NO) in endothelial cells is regulated by direct interactions of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) with effector proteins such as Ca2+-calmodulin, by posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation via protein kinase B, and by translocation of the enzyme from the plasma membrane caveolae to intracellular compartments. Reversible acylation of eNOS is thought to contribute to the intracellular trafficking of the enzyme; however, protein factor(s) that govern the translocation of the enzyme are still unknown. Here we have used the yeast two-hybrid system and identified a novel 34 kDa protein, termed NOSIP (eNOS interacting protein), which avidly binds …
