The Role of High-Salt Diet on Melanoma Growth
(2024-03-04)
Cutaneous melanoma is one of the most aggressive cancer types in Western countries with a rising incidence over the last decades. Treatment of early-diagnosed melanoma constitutes a good survival rate and recovery. However, ...
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 ...
Einfluss der Cyclin-abhängigen Kinase 5 auf die Expression des Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 in murinen Pankreaskarzinomen im Vergleich verschiedener Analysemethoden
(2023-03-23)
Einleitung: Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) ist ein immuninhibitorisches Molekül, das für gewöhnlich von bestimmten Immunzellen oder dendritischen Zellen exprimiert wird. Auch verschiedene Tumoren ...
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 ...
Cell Cycle Regulation of G-Quadruplex DNA Structures at Telomeres
(2012-05-01)
DNA and RNA regions containing tracts of guanines can form very stable secondary structures called G-quadruplex (G4). Genomic sequences with the potential to form G4 (G4-motifs) are abundant across species. In all analyzed ...
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 ...
