Role of Endothelin-1 in the Brown Adipose Tissue
(2021-06-22)
ET-1 was shown to inhibit adipogenesis in murine mesenchymal stem cells derived from new-born brown adipose tissue in vitro and antagonism of Endothelin-1 (ET-1) signaling at the respective level of the Endothelin-1 receptor ...
The Role of TRIM71 in Male Germ Cell Development
(2020-09-02)
Germ cells are the key to continuation of life as they are the unique cell lineage capable to transfer the complete genetic information to the next generation. Both, infertility and testicular cancers are usually originating ......
The role of YAP signaling in thermogenic adiposetissues
(2021-01-02)
One of major metabolic organs, brown adipose tissue (BAT), is responsible for energy expenditure through uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) mediated non-shivering thermogenesis, which has been considered a promising pharmacological ...
Electrophysiological and pharmacological in vivo characterization of EEG fingerprints / biomarkers in AD mouse models
(2021-01-19)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a major leading cause of deaths worldwide with underlying conditions of dementia and cognitive decline mostly in older age patients (≥ 65 years). Currently, there are approximately 50 million ...
Selection of an aptamer and development of a genetic device to control mRNA stability in response to light
(2022-02-09)
Artificial autocatalytic RNA molecules, so-called aptazymes, are utilized as genetic devices to study and influence biological processes. These genetic devices consist of the autocatalytic RNA part, the ribozyme, and a ...

(2021-01-19)
Obesity is a worldwide health issue with increasing numbers of patients every year. Moreover, the prevalence of obesity gives rise to related cardiovascular diseases and various other comorbidities influencing quality of ...
Perception and memories in the fly brain
(2022-02-03)
The brain is an extremely complex organ that controls thoughts, memories, motor skills and every process that is required to maintain our body alive and healthy. Although this is common knowledge, the mechanisms by which ...
The role of GPR111 in adipose tissue
(2021-05-21)
Due to obesity pandemic and limited therapeutic approaches, novel targets of pharmaceutical treatments are urgently needed. AT as a very important metabolic organ is an attractive target for combating obesity and obesity ......
Identification of Intracellular Protein Binding Partners of Cisplatin and Their Role in Acquired and Intrinsic Resistance
(2021-03-18)
Cisplatin is a widely used drug in treatment of various solid tumors, amongst others ovarian cancer. However, whereas acquired resistance significantly limits therapy success, some tumors such as colorectal cancer are ...
Loss of Inhibitory CD33 Signaling Results in Increased Microglial Activation
(2021-06-23)
CD33 is expressed on immune cells of myeloid origin, such as macrophages and microglia. Upon activation, CD33 recruits and activates protein tyrosine phosphatases, which results in attenuation of the activatory signaling ...
