Investigation of the in vivo Lysosomal Proteome Changes in Different Starvation Periods
(2021-04-09)
Nutrient deprivation can change the activity and subcellular localization of a protein. The cellular response to starvation includes the autophagy/lysosomal degradation pathway and the nutrient signaling pathway via the ......
Biochemical characterization of the human Cyclin-dependent kinases Cdk7 and Cdk10
(2021-08-13)
Protein kinases comprise a large superfamily of enzymes regulating a plethora of cellular processes. Dysregulation of protein kinases, such as loss of activity, hyperactivity or mislocalisation, is often accompanied with ...
Role of innate lymphoid cells in type 1-dominated experimental Plasmodium berghei ANKA and type 2-dominated Litomosoides sigmodontis infection
(2021-10-27)
Malaria and filariasis remain among the biggest health problems in the tropics and subtropics, especially in Africa, and in the case of malaria among the ten most frequent causes of death. The parasites that cause malaria ......
Single cell visual psychophysics
(2021-10-05)
On the one hand, the eye is the human being’s window to the world. On the other hand the eye is a window to the human brain enabling noninvasive and in vivo assessment of nervous tissue. With adaptive optics scanning laser ...
CD8 T cell responses during primary and secondary influenza infection - Role of MHC-I expression on non-immune cells
(2021-09-03)
Influenza infection results in strong immune responses in the lung usually leading to clearance of infection and, in some cases, immune pathology with varying degrees of prognosis. CD8 T cells are believed to be one of the ...
The Role of NMDA Receptor Co-Agonists in Dendritic Integration
(2021-03-26)
The integration of synaptic inputs is the fundamental function of neurons. This integration does not only take place at the soma, but also dendrites can actively shape the input-output computations of a neuronal network. ...
Mapping the immune landscape in the alveolar space reveals alterations of multiple macrophage states in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(2021-03-26)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is ranked among the three leading causes of death worldwide and hence constitutes a significant burden, both medically and financially. The disease is characterized by a poorly ...
Structural aspects of the plasmalemmal Amyloid Precursor Protein cluster
(2021-11-12)
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a major socio-economic threat to health care systems and society in general. Involvement of the amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) and its parent, the amyloid precursor protein (APP), in AD seemed obvious ...
Langerhans and inflammatory dendritic epidermal cells in atopic dermatitis tolerate Toll-like receptor 2-specific activation
(2021-01-26)
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic multifactorial inflammatory skin disease. The skin of AD patients shows a significant dysbalance of the microbiome with high colonization of S. aureus, which positively correlates with ...
The influence of G-quadruplex structures on meiosis
(2021-01-27)
Several lines of evidence emphasize the potential function of G-quadruplex (G4) structures during DNA replication, transcription and recombination. Although there are experimental evidences that G4s play a role during ......
