Structure and function study of HCN1 channel by forming a lattice on the membrane
(2020-09-08)
Hyperpolarized-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels play complex and diverse roles in the regulation of neuronal and network excitability. Aberrant expression, trafficking, and post-translational modifications ...
Aktivierung des angeborenen Immunsystems im Zentralnervensystem nach subchronischer Alkoholbehandlung im Mausmodell
(2020-06-03)
Alkohol ist als kulturell anerkanntes Rauschmittel in seinen ökonomischen, sozialen und gesundheitlichen Risiken weiterhin unterschätzt. In der Literatur zeigen sich Hinweise auf die Relevanz unterschiedlicher Trinkmuster ...
Ribosome profiling of selenoproteins in vivo reveals consequences of pathogenic Secisbp2 missense mutations: The establishment of translating ribosome affinity purification
(2020-11-04)
Recoding of in-frame UGA/Seccodon in selenoproteins requires a complex translational machinery. The core of this event is the interaction between selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS element) in the 3’UTR of ...
Structural and functional principles of long-range connectivity in the rat vibrissal system
(2020-11-05)
Pyramidal tract neurons (PTs) represent the major output cell type of the mammalian neocortex. Integrating feedforward thalamo-cortical (TC) and recurrent intracortical (IC) inputs with those from top down cortical-cortical ...
Establishment of an inducible human pluripotent stem cell-based 3D model of Alzheimer's disease
(2020-11-16)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the aged population. The vast majority of cases are sporadic, however, various mutations may cause early-onset, familial AD (FAD) variants. AD is ...
Characterisation of Extracellular Vesicles Released upon NLRP3 Activation and Their Impact on Bystander Cells
(2020-02-17)
Inflammasomes are cytosolic multi-protein complexes that assemble upon detection of danger signals of infectious or sterile origin. Activation of the NOD-like receptor NLRP3 results in activation of caspase-1, which ...
Investigating the molecular basis of human NLRP1 inflammasome activation
(2020-03-10)
Cytosolic sensor proteins like NLRP1 (NOD-like receptor containing a pyrin domain 1) play a fundamental role in mediating innate immunity. Upon activation they form signalling hubs that recruit the adaptor protein ASC ...
Impact of chronic liver inflammation on adaptive immune responses to viral infection
(2020-03-11)
A common complication in patients suffering from chronic liver inflammation and fibrosis is the enhanced susceptibility to viral infections and weak responses to vaccination, which are associated with significant co-morbidities. ...
Neuroinflammation, microglia and the cell biology of Alzheimer's Disease
(2020-04-08)
The pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterised by progressive accumulation of misfolded proteins, which form senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, and chronic inflammation in the brain associated with ...
Immune defense mechanisms against Legionella longbeachae
(2020-01-30)
The pulmonary epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against pathogens invading the lungs. If those are able to overcome this first barrier, myeloid cells of the innate immune system are instrumental for the ......
