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, ...
Mathematical Analysis and Modeling of Signaling Networks
(2017-11-24)
Mathematical models are in focus of modern systems biology and increasingly important to understand and manipulate complex biological systems. At the same time, new and improved techniques in metabolomics and proteomics ...
Hippocampal cellular and network properties in a mouse model of metachromatic leukodystrophy
(2017-11-30)
The human disease of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is caused by a single or multiple allelic mutations within the gene locus of arylsulfatase A (ASA). This protein is a lysosomal enzyme catalyzing the degradation of ...
Investigations on the structure, biosynthesis and biology of antibacterial cyclic lipopeptides
(2013-03-21)
The study was aimed to find new antibacterial cyclic lipopeptides in Pseudomonas bacteria using genome mining techniques. Application of this genome-driven approach led to the in-silico identification of ...
Pattern Recognition Receptor and Vaccination Studies in the Murine Model of Lymphatic Filariasis
(2013-03-06)
Lymphatic filariasis is a parasitic helminth infection that affects approximately 120 million people. About one third of the infected individuals develop pathological manifestations, e.g. lymphedema. Causative agents of ......
Assessment of virulence factors of a reservoir-borne SARS-related coronavirus by reverse genetics
(2013-01-04)
The pandemic of the „Severe acute respiratory syndrome“ (SARS) at the end of 2002 caused more than 8000 infections and led to more than 800 deaths. The disease was soon associated with a new zoonotic coronavirus, the ...
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, ......
Impact of UGT1A polymorphisms on inflammation and fibrogenesis in a humanized transgenic mouse model
(2020-07-07)
Fibrogenesis represents a highly dynamic scarring response of the liver resulting from different causes of hepatic injury. A key process capable of activating a broad array of profibrogenic pathways is oxidative stress. ...
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 ...
