Vergleichende Untersuchung der Genexpression in humanen Tumorzellknoten und Tumorzellrasen in vitro
(2017-03-24)
Während der Arzneimittelentwicklung scheitern viele in vitro vielversprechend scheinende Wirkstoffe während der klinischen Prüfung am humanen Patienten. Für onkologische Wirkstoffe ist die Ausfallquote besonders hoch. Aus ......
The importance of endogenous cannabinoids in stress-related disorders and depression
(2017-02-03)
The endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS) is a unique neuromodulatory system, essentially involved in a variety of physiological processes. It consists of the two major endogenous cannabinoids (eCBs), anandamide and 2-AG, ......
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 ......
The role of Cysteine-rich with EGF-like domains 2 in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis and regulation of the unfolded protein response
(2019-12-17)
Das Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die Rolle von Creld2 bei der Aufrechterhaltung der metabolischen Homöostase unter Normalbedingungen und bei der Regulation der UPR unter ER Stressbedingungen zu untersuchen. Metabolische ...
Effects of intracranial stimulation and the involvement of the human parahippocampal cortex in perception
(2019-10-04)
How the human brain translates photons hitting the retina into conscious perception remains an open question. Throughout the medial temporal lobe (MTL), there are neurons (called concept cells) that change their firing ...
Pharmacometric approaches for linking pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models of sunitinib and pazopanib with clinical outcome
(2019-07-22)
Aim of this thesis was to build a modeling framework for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with two common first-line therapies, sunitinib and pazopanib. Therefore, as part of the European-wide ...
FR900359, an inhibitor of guanine nucleotide dissociation, effectively blunts signaling of GTPase-deficient Gq: mechanism of action and relevance for treating Gq-driven cancers
(2019-08-01)
Uveal melanoma (UM), the most common cancer of the adult eye, is known to have poor prognosis. Over 50% of patients are likely to develop metastasis. In more than 80% of the cases UM is driven by an activating mutation in ...
Impact of ERK signaling and its spatial regulation on cisplatin sensitivity in ovarian cancer cells
(2019-11-08)
The efficiency of the anticancer drug cisplatin in ovarian cancer is often limited by the development of cisplatin resistance. Cisplatin activates a plethora of DNA damage-related signaling pathways, which regulate the ...
Platelet-immune cell interactions in inflammation and cancer
(2019-09-10)
Platelets are well-known for their role in hemostasis and only more recently, they have also been acknowledged for their immune regulatory roles. Despite being small sized and anucleated, they can respond to inflammatory ...
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 ...
