How to control cyclic nucleotide signaling by light
(2017-03-10)Optogenetics allows to non-invasively manipulate cellular functions with spatio-temporal precision by combining genetic engineering with the control of protein function by light. Since the discovery of channelrhodopsin has ... -
Innate lymphoid cells - key immune integrators of overall body homeostasis: ILC – key immune integrators of overall body homeostasis
(2018-06-04)The maintenance of the tissue barrier is essential to protect the host from external pathogens, thus ensuring the survival of the organism. This process requires the integration of various physiological signals originating ... -
Shedding light on the role of cAMP in mammalian sperm physiology
(2018-06-15)Mammalian fertilization relies on sperm finding the egg and penetrating the egg vestments. All steps in a sperm's lifetime crucially rely on changes in the second messenger cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate). In recent ... -
Elucidating cyclic AMP signaling in subcellular domains with optogenetic tools and fluorescent biosensors
(2019-11-14)The second messenger 3´, 5´-cyclic nucleoside adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) plays a key role in signal transduction across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Cyclic AMP signaling is compartmentalized into microdomains to fulfil ... -
Extracellular vesicles derived from Hepatitis-D Virus infected cells induce a proinflammatory cytokine response in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and macrophages
(2020-02-14)Hepatitis D Virus (HDV) is a satellite virus requiring a Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) envelope proteins for productive infection. Hepatitis D is the most severe form of viral hepatitis and is a global health threat affecting ... -
Intervertebral Disc and Adipokine Leptin—Loves Me, Loves Me Not
(2020-12-31)Leptin—the most famous adipose tissue-secreted hormone—in the human body is mostly observed in a negative connotation, as the hormone level increases with the accumulation of body fat. Nowadays, fatness is becoming another ... -
Enemy or ally? Fasting as an essential regulator of immune responses
(2021-04-14)Nutrition is essential for supplying an organism with sufficient energy to maintain its bodily functions. Apart from serving as an energy supply, the immunomodulatory effects of diet are emerging as a central aspect of ... -
Job Satisfaction and Chronic Stress of General Practitioners and Their Teams: Baseline Data of a Cluster-Randomised Trial (IMPROVEjob)
(2021-09-08)<em>Background:</em> A high prevalence of poor job satisfaction and high chronic stress is documented for general practitioners (GPs) and non-physician practice staff from various countries. The reasons are multifactorial ... -
Mini Review: Forensic Value of Aquaporines
(2021-12-17)Forensic pathologists are routinely confronted with unclear causes of death or findings. In some scenarios, it can be difficult to answer the specific questions posed by criminal investigators or prosecutors. Such scenarios ... -
Mini Review: The Forensic Value of Heat Shock Proteins
(2022-01-10)Forensic pathologists are routinely confronted with unclear causes of death or related findings. In some instances, difficulties arise in relation to questions posed by criminal investigators or prosecutors. Such scenarios ... -
Primary cilia and their effects on immune cell functions and metabolism: a model
(2022-05)Primary cilia are hair-like protrusions of the plasma membrane that function as cellular antennae and are present on most cells in the human body. Primary cilia dysfunction leads to severe diseases, commonly termed ... -
Small Changes in Patient Arrival and Consultation Times Have Large Effects on Patients' Waiting Times: Simulation Analyses for Primary Care
(2023-01-18)(1) Background: Workflows are a daily challenge in general practices. The desired smooth work processes and patient flows are not easy to achieve. This study uses an operational research approach to illustrate the general ... -
Silent Triage: Public Health decision-making beyond prioritisation
(2023-02-22)The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced clinical care and health service provision in low-income and middle-income countries. Besides having no timely access to routine vaccination, services for non-SARS-CoV-2-related health ... -
Interferon-induced IL-10 drives systemic T-cell dysfunction during chronic liver injury
(2023-03-02)<strong>Background & Aims:</strong> Patients with chronic liver disease (CLD), including cirrhosis, are at increased risk of intractable viral infections and are hyporesponsive to vaccination. Hallmarks of CLD and cirrhosis ... -
Exploring the Applicability of General Dietary Recommendations for People Affected by Obesity
(2023-03-25)(1) Obesity has emerged as a major public health challenge with increasing prevalence globally. The General Dietary Behavior Inventory (GDBI) was developed based on official dietary recommendations. However, little is known ... -
Prediction of Chronic Stress and Protective Factors in Adults: Development of an Interpretable Prediction Model Based on XGBoost and SHAP Using National Cross-sectional DEGS1 Data
