Investigation of SECISBP2 mutations and potential viral SECIS element recruitment
(2021-07-15)
The 21st amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) is encoded by the UGA codon. In order to recode the canonical stop codon additional factors are needed in mammals including the selenocysteine-insertion-sequence (SECIS) ......
Astrocyte morphology determines properties of the astroglial networks
(2021-09-29)
Astrocytes are very abundant glial cells in the brain. They perform many functions: provision of nutrient to the neurons, maintenance of extracellular ion balance, shaping of network operations and synaptic signaling and ...
Bilateral inflammation after unilateral UVR-B irradiation: Ocular cross-talk and immunomodulation between exposed and unexposed, contralateral eye
(2021-01-29)
The presented study investigates the influence of exposure of one eye to UVR-B on the unexposed, partner eye in vivo in a mouse model. Furthermore, we try to answer the question whether this sympathizing reaction of the ...
Low molecular weight polysialic acid prevents lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory dopaminergic neurodegeneration in humanized SIGLEC11 transgenic mice
(2021-07-13)
Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases in the elderly population, with a pathophysiology linked to neuroinflammation, complement activation and oxidative damage. Soluble polysialic acid ...
Immunostimulation of Microglia by ASC Specks and ASC Specks Amyloid β Composites
(2021-10-26)
Die Alzheimer-Krankheit stellt die weltweit häufigste Form der Demenz dar. Die genauen Mechanismen, welche zu ihrer Entstehung führen, sind bis heute nicht vollständig verstanden. Eine wichtige Rolle spielt die Aktivierung ......
Immunostimulation of Microglia by ASC Specks and ASC Specks Amyloid β Composites
Alzheimer’s Disease is the world’s most common cause of dementia. The exact mechanisms causing neurodegeneration ......

Investigation of Heat Shock Protein 70 and Toll-like Receptor 4 functions during inflammation reaction by mechanical compression in human periodontal ligament cells
(2021-06-24)
Biomechanical forces exerted during treatment with orthodontic appliances cause tensile and compressive strain within the periodontal ligament (PDL) of affected teeth followed by ischemia on the compression side. Further, ...
Characterization of the pro-inflammatory activity of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)
(2021-10-13)
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are mainly derived from microbial fermentation of dietary fibres, have been considered to be beneficial to gut health for decades. Recently, a few of studies reported that some patients ...
