Bi-Hemispheric Engagement in the Retrieval of Autobiographical Episodes by Marie M. P. Vandekerckhove, Hans J. Markowitsch, Markus Mertens, Friedrich G. Woermann

“…The brain regions that were mainly activated constituted an interactive network of temporal and prefrontal areas associated with structures of the extended limbic system. The main bilateral activations with left-sided preponderance probably reflected reactivation of complex semantic and episodic self-related information representations that included previously experienced contexts. …”

The Eps8/IRSp53/VASP network differentially controls actin capping and bundling in filopodia formation. by Federico Vaggi, Andrea Disanza, Francesca Milanesi, Pier Paolo Di Fiore, Elisabetta Menna, Michela Matteoli, Nir S Gov, Giorgio Scita, Andrea Ciliberto

“…Comparatively, there is a paucity of models focusing on the regulation of the network of proteins that control the formation of different actin structures. Using a combination of in-vivo and in-vitro experiments together with a system of ordinary differential equations, we focused on a small number of well-characterized, interacting molecules involved in actin-dependent filopodia formation: the actin remodeler Eps8, whose capping and bundling activities are a function of its ligands, Abi-1 and IRSp53, respectively; VASP and Capping Protein (CP), which exert antagonistic functions in controlling filament elongation. …”

Engineering and society – prospective remarks, with a focus on Portugal by Paulo Tavares de Castro

“…But first a disclaimer: I am not a professional forecaster neither a crystal ball reader, but just a Mechanical Engineer with a career of 40+ years as a researcher / professor in a field transversal to several disciplines and specialties – fracture and fatigue of materials and structures. As with every other researcher, early in my career I was mainly asked to participate in activities and panels within the boundaries of my own research but, as time went by, the scope of my activities was progressively enlarged, namely with membership of the board of Agência de Inovação - AdI (precursor of the present ANI) and involvement in several EU activities in fields as aeronautics, civil engineering, transportation but also innovation and higher education management. …”
