Das Schnauzenorgan des schwach elektrischen Fischs Gnathonemus petersii: Anatomie, neuronale Innervation und senso-motorische Integration
(2019-05-14)
Eine besondere Struktur des schwach elektrischen Mormyriden Gnathonemus petersii ist sein hoch mobiler, vermutlich multisensorischer Kinnfortsatz, das Schnauzenorgan. Seine einzigartige Funktion als elektrische Fovea für ...
Click-SELEX enables the selection of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol-binding nucleic acids
(2019-05-10)
Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main psychoactive compound in the plant Cannabis sativa and the most widely used illegal drug in the world. Its consumption impairs driving skills such as keeping a vehicle on track and ...
Ceramide Synthase in Transcriptional Regulation and Lipid Sensing
(2019-05-20)
Ceramide synthases (CerS) are highly conserved transmembrane proteins necessary for sphingolipid biosynthesis. CerSs carry a TLC (Tram-Lag1-CLN8) domain, containing a conserved Lag1p motif required for ceramide synthesis. ......
Ceramid-Synthasen (CerS) sind hochkonservierte Transmembranproteine, die für die Sphingolipid-Biosynthese notwendig sind. CerSs tragen eine TLC (Tram-Lag1-CLN8)-Domäne, die ein konserviertes Lag1p-Motiv enthält, das für ......

Microglial Activation in Alzheimer's Disease
(2019-06-05)
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent type of dementia and characterized by the deposition of extracellular amyloid-beta (Aβ) and tau hyper-phosphorylation. Over the past decade, neuroinflammation has emerged as ...
The influence of ischemic pre-conditioning and inhibition of the ubiquitin proteasome system on cardiac ischemic injury in a murine model
(2019-04-30)
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a state when the flow of blood stops in a coronary artery or a succeeding vessel resulting in hypoxia leading to damage in the downstream cardiac tissue. Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury leads ...
Concepts of Immune Regulation in Chronic Filarial Infections
(2021-04-21)
Despite worldwide efforts to reduce filariasis, over 100 million individuals still suffer from filarial infections. Filarial infections continue to be a substantial drain at both economic and health levels, especially in ......
Unravelling the role of RIM proteins in synaptic transmission: RIM1α tunes Ca2+ channel subtype contribution to neurotransmitter release
(2019-04-12)
Synaptic transmission is extremely fast and tightly regulated due to the rapid and spatially restricted Ca2+ signal at the presynaptic active zone (AZ). At the AZ, voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCC) ...
The role of the transcription factor BCL11A in midbrain dopaminergic neurons
(2022-03-11)
Midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons are located in three midbrain nuclei, the substantia nigra (SN), ventral tegmental area (VTA) and retrorubral field (RRF). mDA neurons are diverse in their developmental origin, their ......
Dopaminerge Neuronen des Mittelhirns (mDA) befinden sich in drei Kerngebieten des Mittelhirns, der Substantia nigra (SN), dem ventralen tegmentalen Areal (VTA) und dem retrorubralen Feld (RRF). mDA-Neurone unterscheiden ......

Electrostatic anchoring of SNAP25 to the plasma membrane
(2021-07-21)
Neurotransmission is based on incredibly rapid membrane trafficking cycles, mediating the release of neurotransmitters. The fusion machinery of the well-studied SNARE protein complex ensures the speed and precision of ...
Animal-Robot Interactions: Electrocommunication, Sensory Ecology, and Group Dynamics in a Mormyrid Weakly Electric Fish
(2018-12-12)
Mormyrid weakly electric fish possess a specialized electrosensory system. During the process of active electrolocation, these animals perceive self-generated electric organ dis-charges (EOD) and are thereby able to detect ...
