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 ...
Neuroinvasion and cerebral ischemia as possible sources for α-synuclein prions in Parkinson’s disease
(2021-07-13)
In synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s disease misfolding of α-synuclein, normally a cellular and soluble protein, leads to the accumulation of insoluble protein aggregates and to central nervous system disease (CNS). ...
Functional markers for cerebral norepinephrine deficiency in Alzheimer's disease
(2021-02-17)
Pathological alterations of the locus coeruleus (LC)-norepinephrine (NE) system occur early in the course of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and manifest in poor attention and distractibility. Cortical NE is released from the ...
Loss of Inhibitory CD33 Signaling Results in Increased Microglial Activation
(2021-06-23)
CD33 is expressed on immune cells of myeloid origin, such as macrophages and microglia. Upon activation, CD33 recruits and activates protein tyrosine phosphatases, which results in attenuation of the activatory signaling ...
Low Endotoxin Recovery: Wiederfindung und pyrogene Aktivität von Endotoxinen in pharmazeutischen Produkten
(2021-08-06)
Eine zuverlässige Überwachung bakterieller Kontaminationen ist entscheidend für die Herstellung und Sicherheit biopharmazeutischer Produkte. Die mikrobielle Sicherheit wird in der Regel (zusätzlich zu Sterilitätstests und ...
Functional impact of Kir4.1 channels in hippocampal NG2 glia on neuronal plasticity and behavior
(2020-08-25)
NG2 glia represents the 4th type of CNS glial cells. In white matter, most of them differentiate into myelinating oligodendrocytes but in grey matter a majority retains their NG2 phenotype throughout life. Intriguingly, ...
Mechanisms of epileptogenesis in animal models of developmental brain lesions
(2021-11-05)
Developmental brain lesions, including glioneuronal tumors (GNT) and malformations of cortical development (MCD), are among the most common causes for pharmaco-resistant epilepsy. Despite substantial differences, their ...
Design, Entwicklung und Herstellung modifizierter gastroretentiver schwimmender Systeme auf Basis von schmelzextrudierten hohlen Zylindermatrices
(2020-04-15)
Die Entwicklung gastroretentiver Arzneiformen ist komplex, da neben der kontrollierten Freisetzung des Wirkstoffs zusätzlich die Verlängerung der Verweilzeit im Magen gewährleistet werden muss. Hierfür werden meist hydrophile ...
Evaluating onco-geriatric scores and medication risks to improve cancer care for older patients
(2020-03-19)
The cancer therapy of older patients is challenging, being more complex than the therapy of younger patients. Older cancer patients show a higher toxicity risk during therapy and drug-related problems are common. In order ...
