The role of Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors in adipocytes and adipose tissues
(2021-01-19)
Obesity is a worldwide health issue with increasing numbers of patients every year. Moreover, the prevalence of obesity gives rise to related cardiovascular diseases and various other comorbidities influencing quality of ...
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 ...
Simulation of Bone Remodeling Process around Dental Implant During the Healing Period
(2021-07-05)
This interdisciplinary thesis deals with the numerical investigation of bone remodeling around dental implants during the healing period with regard to biomechanical aspects. The aim of the study was to develop algorithms ...
GPR183 Expression on Pulmonary Conventional Dendritic Cell Type 2 Dictates Subtissular Localisation and Instructs Their Survival via the Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) – TSLP Receptor (TSLPR) Axis
(2021-07-06)
Introduction: G protein-coupled receptor 183 (GPR183) is a chemotactic receptor, highly expressed by immune cells. Upon activation by its ligand, 7a,25-dihydroxycholesterol (7a,25-OHC), GPR183 activates downstream signals ......
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 ...
Exploration of bioresources enables detection and characterization of natural products with antibacterial activities and elucidation of the corresponding biosyntheses for derivative generation
(2021-11-17)
The discovery of antibiotics in the early 20th century sparked a medicinal revolution, which for the first time in history enabled humankind to effectively combat bacterial infections. Despite this immense success, the ...
Aptamer-mediated transactivation of transcription utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 and a photoreceptor
(2021-12-16)
In synthetic biology, spatio-temporal control of molecular functions is an essential tool for the investigation and manipulation of cellular processes. The usage of light enables a reversible non-invasive trigger, that ...
Investigation of the procoagulant role of labile heme under hemolytic conditions
(2021-07-19)
Severe intravascular hemolysis leads to the excessive release of labile heme into the vascular compartment, thereby overwhelming the heme-binding capacity of the protective heme- scavenging system. As a consequence, labile ...
Die biologische Funktion der N1-2´O-Methylierung eukaryotischer mRNA durch die Methyltransferase CMTr1
(2021-05-14)
Eukaryoten modifizieren das 5´-Ende ihrer mRNA mit einem invertierten N7-methyliertem Guanosin (m7G). Diese Cap0 genannte Struktur wird in höheren Eukaryoten durch die Methyltransferase CMTr1 weiter modifiziert: CMTr1 ...
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 ...
