The DEAH helicase DHX36 and its role in G-quadruplex-dependent processes
(2020-10-12)
DHX36 is a member of the DExD/H box helicasefamily, which comprises a large number of proteinsinvolved in various cellular functions. Recently, thefunction of DHX36 in the regulation of G-quadruplexes(G4s) was demonstrated. ......
Detecting G4 unwinding
(2022-04-18)
DNA can, in addition to the B-DNA conformation, fold into a variety of additional conformations. Among them are G-quadruplex structures that have gained a lot of attention in recent years. G-quadruplex structures (G4s) are ...
Cytokine Production of CD56bright Natural Killer Cells From Human Immunodeficiency Virus–Infected Individuals Under Effective Antiretroviral Therapy
(2022-09-01)
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with impaired natural killer (NK) cell activity, which is only incompletely restored under antiretroviral therapy. Analyzing the bioenergetics profiles of oxygen ...
Obesity impairs virus-specific memory CD8+ T cell signalling and function
(2024-04-11)
The main function of the immune system is to protect the host against invading pathogens. Immunological memory is formed after a primary infection and serves to provide protection in a fast and vigorous manner upon secondary ...
Pilzkontaminationen in Korneatransplantaten: Effektivität antimykotischer Medienzusätze und Anwendbarkeit molekularbiologischer Detektionsmethoden
(2023-10-16)
Postoperative Infektionen stellen eine schwerwiegende Komplikationen nach Korneatransplantation dar. In den letzten Jahren wurde ein Anstieg der Inzidenz von Pilzinfektionen nach Keratoplastik festgestellt. Aktuell werden ...
Impact of aging and enriched environment on α-synuclein propagation
(2022-04-06)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. The prevalence of sporadic PD results from a complex interaction of demographic, genetic, and environmental factors. Age is one of the strongest ...
Protein markers of inflammation and ageing in a European multi-centre dementia cohort
(2024-03-01)
Inflammation plays a key role in Alzheimerʼs disease (AD) progression. Microglia in the AD brain are exposed to pathological amyloid β (Aβ42) and tau peptide aggregates, resulting in the NLRP3 inflammasome activation ...
Organization principles of thalamocortical input onto deep-layer inhibitory neurons of the barrel cortex
(2024-02-28)
Thalamus functions as the main route by which incoming sensory information reaches the cerebral cortex. Thalamic nuclei will receive input from the sensory receptors in the periphery and relay it to different areas in the ...
Role of TLR2 in immune sensing of gut microbiota in RNA virus induced glomerulonephritis
(2024-05-22)
Chronically infected patients with human immune deficiency virus (HIV) are at high risk of developing autoimmune diseases. Despite successful anti-retroviral therapy, autoimmune diseases and renal diseases affect 10–15 % ...
Role of IFN‑γ induced genes in cell autonomous defence against Legionellae
(2022-05-27)
L. pneumophila and L. longbeachae are ubiquitous environmental bacteria that can cause a severe pneumonia, known as Legionnaires’ Disease, when contaminated aerosols are inhaled by susceptible humans. During ......
