The role of Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors in adipocytes and adipose tissues
(2021-01-19)
Obesity is a worldwide health issue with increasing numbers of patients every year. Moreover, the prevalence of obesity gives rise to related cardiovascular diseases and various other comorbidities influencing quality of ...
Loss of Inhibitory CD33 Signaling Results in Increased Microglial Activation
(2021-06-23)
CD33 is expressed on immune cells of myeloid origin, such as macrophages and microglia. Upon activation, CD33 recruits and activates protein tyrosine phosphatases, which results in attenuation of the activatory signaling ...
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 ...
Design, assembly, and operation of a self-regulating DNA rotaxane linear actuator
(2022-04-07)
DNA is not only the carrier of genetic information but also an excellent bottom-up material for constructing nanostructures due to its high degree of programmability. Interlocked DNA nanostructures have a potential use as ...
Low Endotoxin Recovery: Wiederfindung und pyrogene Aktivität von Endotoxinen in pharmazeutischen Produkten
(2021-08-06)
Eine zuverlässige Überwachung bakterieller Kontaminationen ist entscheidend für die Herstellung und Sicherheit biopharmazeutischer Produkte. Die mikrobielle Sicherheit wird in der Regel (zusätzlich zu Sterilitätstests und ...
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 ...
Search for exosomes in NG2-glial cells
(2022-02-17)
NG2-glial cells is an abundant and widely distributed subtype of glia, featuring properties not typically associated with mature glial cells, such as the ability to receive synaptic input from neurons, or adult proliferation. ...
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, ...
Investigation of the procoagulant role of labile heme under hemolytic conditions
(2021-07-19)
Severe intravascular hemolysis leads to the excessive release of labile heme into the vascular compartment, thereby overwhelming the heme-binding capacity of the protective heme- scavenging system. As a consequence, labile ...
Design and Synthesis of Covalent Peptidomimetic Inhibitors for Human Cysteine Cathepsins
(2020-02-07)
The present thesis elucidates the development of (i) a series of small molecule inhibitors reacting in a covalent-irreversible manner with the targeted proteases and (ii) a fluorescently labeled activity-based probe as a ......
