Characterization of Ceramide synthase 2 dysfunctions caused by targeted mutations in transgenic mice
(2020-02-10)
Ceramide species are the precursor of sphingolipids, which serve as structural components of biological membranes or are bioactive molecules. In mammals, ceramides are synthesised by a family of ceramide synthases (CerS) ......
The enzyme HPGD is critical for regulatory T cell function in adipose tissue
(2020-02-06)
Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are essential for maintaining immune homeostasis. However, how Treg cells exert their function in tissue specific environments is often unknown. We have found ......
Contributions towards a better understanding of millipede phylogenetics and sawfly genomics
(2021-03-11)
A loss of biodiversity on a scale and rate comparable to the great extinction events, as a result of anthropogenic activity, has been documented for plants, animals, and micro-organisms. In order to foster a sustainable ...
Analyse der Thermostabilität mitochondrialer Proteine anhand der Protein-Disaggregation durch Hsp78 in Bäckerhefe
(2021-02-11)
Alle Organismen zeichnen sich durch spezifische auf ihre Lebensbedingungen angepasste Charakteristika aus. Hefen, darunter auch die Bäckerhefe Saccharomyces cerevisiae, besitzt eine Vielzahl an spezialisierten Proteinen, ...
Neuronal and Circuit Architecture Underlying Feeding Behavior in Drosophila
(2021-06-28)
Feeding is elemental for survival and one of the most common activities of animals. Little is known about the organization of neuronal circuits controlling feeding behavior in the cen-tral nervous system. This study maps, ...
Etablierung und Optimierung eines Produktionssystems zur Synthese des alternativen Süßstoffs 5-Ketofruktose in Gluconobacter-Stämmen
(2021-05-21)
Übergewicht, Adipositas und Diabetes sind in der heutigen Gesellschaft längst keine seltenen Krankheiten mehr. In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat die Prävalenz dieser Erkrankungen enorm zugenommen und kann mit einer zuckerreichen ......
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 ...
Role of presenilins in autophagy and growth factor signaling
(2021-02-08)
Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease and affects millions of people worldwide. To date, no efficient therapies are known for a cure. As people suffering from diabetes mellitus type 2 have an ...
