Targeting nucleic acid receptors to improve filarial vaccination in the Litomosoides sigmodontis model
(2022-10-27)
Lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis (river blindness) are human filarial diseases, which put a high socio-economic burden on endemic countries. Until now no vaccination is available, which could greatly aid elimination ......
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 ...
OptoRiboGenetics: Post-transcriptional control of gene expression by light
(2021-08-26)
Gene expression is tightly regulated in mammalian cells at the post transcriptional level and its precise manipulation has proven to be valuable for protein overexpression and gene therapy. Implementation of light-responsive ......
OptoRiboGenetics - Posttranskriptionelle Kontrolle der Genexpression mit Licht
Die Genexpression von Säugetierzellen wird maßgeblich auf post-transkriptioneller Ebene reguliert und das Eingreifen auf ......

The Role of microRNAs in the Regulation of Human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs)
(2021-06-14)
The liver is involved in endo- and xenobiotic metabolism due to the expression of drug-metabolizing UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs). By UGT-mediated elimination of hazardous compounds and other reactive metabolites, ...
Metabolites of bacteria isolated from marine environments: chemistry and bioactivities
(2018-04-19)
Roseovarius oyster disease (ROD) is a bacterial-induced infection and causes major problems in oyster aquaculture. Bacteria of the genus Labrenzia have been proposed as protective agents against ROD. The here investigated ...
Complement-mediated neuronal loss by sialic acid glycocalyx alterations
(2018-04-23)
Every neuronal cell is covered with a dense structure of glycoconjugates, the glycocalyx. Sialic acids form the terminal ends of the glycocalyx and thus, are more accessible for the cellular environment. Microglia, the ...
Beiträge zur Aufklärung des antimetastatischen Wirkmechanismus von aliphatischen Lysophosphatidylcholin-Derivaten
(2018-06-13)
Aufbauend auf dem Zufallsbefund der antimetastatischen Wirksamkeit von leeren Liposomen durch die Arbeitsgruppe von Prof. Dr. Ulrich Massing wurde im Rahmen dieser Arbeit der Mechanismus der resultierenden Effektor-Substanz ...
Genomweite CNV-Analyse und zielgerichtetes Next-Generation-Sequencing zur Identifizierung neuer Kandidatengene bei Patienten mit HNPCC
(2018-01-08)
In bis zu 50% der Familien mit Verdacht auf ein Lynch Syndrom (LS) kann keine zugrundeliegende Keimbahnmutation in den ursächlich bekannten Mismatch-Repair (MMR) – Genen nachgewiesen werden. Um neue ursächliche Gene für ...
Characterization of the structural-functional impact of heterozygous missense mutations in genes of the blood coagulation factor XIII that cause mild Factor XIII deficiency
(2018-01-04)
The coagulation Factor XIII is a key player in hemostasis that is responsible for the last step of the coagulation cascade in which it covalently cross-links preformed fibrin clots to make them resistant to premature ......
