Immune activation by DNA sensors in ANCA associated vasculitis
(2024-03-04)
Anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmatic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) is a group of rare inflammatory autoimmune diseases primarily affecting the small vessels of kidney and lung. Current treatment options mainly ...
Influence of the Fatty Acid Saturation Levels on Inflammatory Signalling in Melanoma Cells
(2023-09-11)
Due to their rapid proliferation, tumour cells have an enhanced demand for lipids. Therefore, increased lipogenesis is considered as a hallmark of cancer. In melanoma, the lineage addiction oncogene MITF regulates the ...
Validation, determinants and impact of medication use
(2024-04-02)
In recent decades, global medication consumption has increased substantially due to an aging population and more emphasis on preventative treatment. As medication use increases, concerns naturally arise regarding the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 % ...
