Role of innate lymphoid cells in type 1-dominated experimental Plasmodium berghei ANKA and type 2-dominated Litomosoides sigmodontis infection
(2021-10-27)
Malaria and filariasis remain among the biggest health problems in the tropics and subtropics, especially in Africa, and in the case of malaria among the ten most frequent causes of death. The parasites that cause malaria ......
Single cell visual psychophysics
(2021-10-05)
On the one hand, the eye is the human being’s window to the world. On the other hand the eye is a window to the human brain enabling noninvasive and in vivo assessment of nervous tissue. With adaptive optics scanning laser ...
In Silico Facets of Biochemical Research: Accounts from Protein Folding and Protein-Ligand Interaction Studies
(2020-09-04)
Exponential advancements in computer technology over the last five decades have ubiquitously benefited science and humanity as a whole. Consequent beneficiaries of this surge of computational power include all subfields ......
T cell response to an MHC-II restricted epitope of rodent malaria
(2022-02-01)
Malaria is caused by different Plasmodium species that can infect a variety of animals including humans and rodents. The life cycle of these parasites is complex and includes a liver stage followed by a blood-stage in their ......
Ai-based, behavior dependent approaches for connectomic reconstruction of neuronal circuits
(2022-03-24)
Characterizing the functional architecture of neuronal circuits that underly complex behavior requires identifying active neuronal ensembles during behavioral expressions of interest. The recent development of light-induced, ...
Control of ion and neurotransmitter homeostasis by hippocampal astroglial networks
(2020-12-16)
The present study addressed the contribution of astrocytic gap junction channels to extracellular K+ clearance. Astrocyte form large networks through gap junction coupling that enables intercellular communication ...
CD8 T cell responses during primary and secondary influenza infection - Role of MHC-I expression on non-immune cells
(2021-09-03)
Influenza infection results in strong immune responses in the lung usually leading to clearance of infection and, in some cases, immune pathology with varying degrees of prognosis. CD8 T cells are believed to be one of the ...
Mapping the immune landscape in the alveolar space reveals alterations of multiple macrophage states in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(2021-03-26)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is ranked among the three leading causes of death worldwide and hence constitutes a significant burden, both medically and financially. The disease is characterized by a poorly ...
Structural aspects of the plasmalemmal Amyloid Precursor Protein cluster
(2021-11-12)
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a major socio-economic threat to health care systems and society in general. Involvement of the amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) and its parent, the amyloid precursor protein (APP), in AD seemed obvious ...
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) ......
