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 ...
Funktionelle Untersuchungen des ABC-Transporters ABCG2
(2021-10-15)
Das Phänomen der Multidrug Resistance (MDR) stellt ein bedeutsames Problem bei der Behandlung von Tumoren mit Chemotherapeutika dar. Die ABC-Transporter ABCB1, ABCC1 und ABCG2 sind an der Entstehung der MDR beteiligt. ...
Direct lineage programming - a tool to generate and analyze human cortical layer specific neurons
(2020-05-14)
Until recently, lineage commitment and differentiation have been considered to be unidirectional and irreversible. This traditional view has dramatically changed with the advent of cellular reprogramming and direct cell ......
Electrostatic anchoring of SNAP25 to the plasma membrane
(2021-07-21)
Neurotransmission is based on incredibly rapid membrane trafficking cycles, mediating the release of neurotransmitters. The fusion machinery of the well-studied SNARE protein complex ensures the speed and precision of ...
The chromatin organizer Satb1 regulates the differentiation into CD4+ TH subsets and is essential for the development of TH17 cells
(2021-06-04)
CD4+ T cells play a critical role in host defense and tissue homeostasis. Upon encountering their specific antigen, naive CD4+ T cells can differentiate into the effector T helper (TH) subsets ...
