Characterisation of Inflammasome-Induced Extracellular Vesicles, Their Uptake by and Effect on Bystander Cells
Standke, Lena (2023-12-22)Inflammasomes are multimeric complexes whose activation triggers caspase 1 cleavage resulting in processing of the cytokines interleukin (IL) 1β and IL-18, and the pore-forming protein gasdermin D. This, in turn, initiates ... -
Characterisation of selected Arabidopsis aldehyde dehydrogenase genes: role in plant stress physiology and regulation of gene expression
Missihoun, Tagnon Dègbédji (2011-03-02)The importance of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) proteins in plant stress responses was investigated in this study by functionally analysing transgenic Arabidospsis thaliana ALDH knock-out and over-expressing plants. From ... -
Characterisation of the effect of redox potential on the emission of greenhouse gases using wireless sensing techniques
Wang, Jihuan (2021-11-18)Soils act as both a source and sink of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and are widely considered to contribute to global warming. Soil N<sub>2</sub>O emissions originate from microbial nitrification and denitrification processes. ... -
Characterisation of the unknown gene and the corresponding protein At3g29075 in Arabidopsis thaliana
Sukumaran, Selvakumar (2020-04-01)Phospholipases D (PLDs) are involved in different plant stress responses, exclusively to abiotic stresses like cold, salinity, and drought. The PLD enzymes catalyse the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids into phosphatidic ... -
Characteristics of Potential Vorticity anomalies associated with mesoscale extremes in the extratropical troposphere
Weijenborg, Christian Bernardus Maria (2016-07-21)Severe convective weather, which has a huge impact on society, is influenced by a large range of scales. However, extremes, by definition rare events, are especially hard to forecast. This study proposes to use Potential ... -
Characterization and application of fusogenic liposomes
Kolašinac, Rejhana (2020-02-03)Conventional drug delivery strategies use the endocytic pathway to introduce biomolecules like proteins, DNA, or antibiotics into living cells. The main disadvantage of endocytic uptake is the quick intercellular degradation ... -
Characterization and Quality Control of RD53A Readout Chips and Modules for the ATLAS ITk Pixel Detector
Daas, Michael (2021-12-16)In preparation of the upcoming high-luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider, the detectors of the major high-energy physics experiments at the accelerator facility will be upgraded as well. In case of the ATLAS ... -
Characterization of Arabidopsis Myotubularins AtMTM1and AtMTM2: from Development to Stress Adaptation
Nagpal, Akanksha (2014-11-18)Myotubularins belong to a unique subgroup of a large family of dual-specificity serine–threonine phosphatase (DSP) that dephosphorylates serine / threonine as well as tyrosine residues. In <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> ... -
Characterization of a novel multiprotein complex downstream of the cytosolic nucleic acid sensors cGAS and RIG-I
Kirchhoff, Alexander (2021-08-30)Detection of viral nucleic acids by specialized PRRs of the innate immune system triggers the expression of type I IFNs, a hallmark of antiviral defense. In vertebrates, the cGAS-STING pathway and the RLR-MAVS pathway have ... -
Characterization of adiponectin at different physiological states in cattle based on an in-house developed immunological assay for bovine adiponectin
Singh, Shiva Pratap (2014-02-07)Adipose tissue (AT), through secretion of adipokines, plays a central role in regulating metabolism. Adiponectin is one of the most abundant adipokines and is linked with several physiological mechanisms such as insulin ... -
Characterization of cellular functions of the deubiquitinating enzyme OTUD4
Das, Richa (2020-08-10)Post-translational modification of proteins with ubiquitin influences myriad of cellular processes by affecting protein stability, degradation, localization and protein-protein interactions. Ubiquitin gets transferred to ... -
Characterization of Ceramide synthase 2 dysfunctions caused by targeted mutations in transgenic mice
van Uelft, Martina (2020-02-10)Ceramide species are the precursor of sphingolipids, which serve as structural components of biological membranes or are bioactive molecules. In mammals, ceramides are synthesised by a family of ceramide synthases (CerS) ... -
Characterization of contaminated sites and monitoring of processes accompanying bioremediation using spectral induced polarization imaging
Flores Orozco, Adrián (2012-09-28)Measurements of spectral induced polarization (SIP) provide information about the electrical conduction and polarization properties of the subsurface, and their frequency dependence. Several laboratory studies in the last ... -
