Functional impact of Kir4.1 channels in hippocampal NG2 glia on neuronal plasticity and behavior
(2020-08-25)
NG2 glia represents the 4th type of CNS glial cells. In white matter, most of them differentiate into myelinating oligodendrocytes but in grey matter a majority retains their NG2 phenotype throughout life. Intriguingly, ...
Investigation of the procoagulant role of labile heme under hemolytic conditions
(2021-07-19)
Severe intravascular hemolysis leads to the excessive release of labile heme into the vascular compartment, thereby overwhelming the heme-binding capacity of the protective heme- scavenging system. As a consequence, labile ...
Design and Synthesis of Covalent Peptidomimetic Inhibitors for Human Cysteine Cathepsins
(2020-02-07)
The present thesis elucidates the development of (i) a series of small molecule inhibitors reacting in a covalent-irreversible manner with the targeted proteases and (ii) a fluorescently labeled activity-based probe as a ......
Mechanisms of epileptogenesis in animal models of developmental brain lesions
(2021-11-05)
Developmental brain lesions, including glioneuronal tumors (GNT) and malformations of cortical development (MCD), are among the most common causes for pharmaco-resistant epilepsy. Despite substantial differences, their ...
Design, Entwicklung und Herstellung modifizierter gastroretentiver schwimmender Systeme auf Basis von schmelzextrudierten hohlen Zylindermatrices
(2020-04-15)
Die Entwicklung gastroretentiver Arzneiformen ist komplex, da neben der kontrollierten Freisetzung des Wirkstoffs zusätzlich die Verlängerung der Verweilzeit im Magen gewährleistet werden muss. Hierfür werden meist hydrophile ...
Evaluating onco-geriatric scores and medication risks to improve cancer care for older patients
(2020-03-19)
The cancer therapy of older patients is challenging, being more complex than the therapy of younger patients. Older cancer patients show a higher toxicity risk during therapy and drug-related problems are common. In order ...
Hippocampal network and inhibitory neuron dysfunction in age and disease
(2021-10-25)
Aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are two highly intertwined pathological processes. Indeed, one of the highest risk factors for developing AD is age. Mechanistically, it has been suggested that remodeling of inhibitory ......
Inhibitory Circuits of the CA3-Dentate Gyrus System
(2021-11-04)
Neuronal inhibition is an essential feature of all brain areas. Besides controlling the average rate of neuronal firing, it also controls the precise timing of action potentials and mediates several types of network ...
Locus coeruleus modulates locomotor activity via the medial septum and the diagonal band of Broca
(2020-10-02)
The locus coeruleus (LC) is positioned in the brainstem and one of the main sources of norepinephrine in the brain. With its projections throughout the whole brain, the LC plays an important role in regulating the general ...
