Evaluation of genetic engineering and genome editing tools to develop multifactorial reproductive sterility or killing sperm systems for the improvement of the Sterile Insect Technique
(2020-11-20)Insects fulfill fundamental roles for the preservation of ecosystems such as pollination, but also represent key agricultural pests and human disease vectors accounting for immense economic losses and approximately one ... -
Characterization of the retinoic acid-induced gene network responsible for pancreas specification in Xenopus laevis
(2017-02-06)Retinoic acid (RA) is critically required for pancreas specification in Xenopus and other vertebrates. However, the gene network that is directly induced by RA-signaling in this context remains to be defined. We identified ... -
Morphogenesis and Genetic Regulation of the Insect Head
(2016-09-30)Natural selection and the struggle for ecological niches were the driving force for the origin of a tremendous number of animal groups with different body shapes. The segmental organization of insects enhanced their ... -
Functional analysis of Prdm14 during Xenopus embryogenesis
(2016-06-23)Prdm14 is a member of the conserved family of Prdm proteins, which are emerging as crucial regulators of multiple early developmental processes and diseases. Members of the Prdm family are characterized by the presence ... -
PTK7 protein localization and stability is affected by canonical Wnt ligands
(2016-02-04)Wnt co-receptors have been shown to be endocytosed in response to Wnt proteins. However, the role of Wnt receptor internalization for Wnt signaling is a topic of ongoing research. Here we show that the Wnt co-receptor PTK7 ... -
The role of the mir-310s in Hedgehog Signaling regulation under dietary stress in the Drosophila ovary
(2016-02-03)Perturbations in nutrition and energy homeostasis can have deleterious effects on human health. Therefore, mechanisms controlling metabolic balance and initiating fast response to changing dietary conditions are essential. ... -
Analysis of the Wnt receptors Ror, Otk and Otk2 during nervous system development in Drosophila melanogaster
(2016-01-20)Wnt signaling regulates many developmental and adult physiological processes. This is achieved through the activation of several distinct Wnt pathways. The outcome is determined by a specific combination of a Wnt ligand ... -
CHARGE syndrome: candidate genes and pathogenesis
(2015-09-25)CHARGE syndrome is a complex malformation syndrome affecting several organ systems like the central nervous system, ear, eye and heart. Heterozygous loss of function mutations in CHD7, a conserved chromatin remodelling ... -
Souffle/Spastizin regulates secretory granule maturation by sorting lysosomal cargo from immature secretory granule during zebrafish oogenesis
(2015-06-05)Successful reproduction of all sexually reproducing organisms mainly depends on the viability of the oocyte. The making of the oocyte is regulated at multiple level to ensure its quality where it carries the information ... -
Roles of the HECT-Type Ubiquitin E3 Ligases of the Nedd4 and WWP Subfamilies in Neuronal Development
(2015-05-21)Protein ubiquitination is a core regulatory principle in neuronal development. In this study, I used brain specific KO mice to investigate the roles of several HECT-type Nedd4 superfamily E3 ligases, i.e. Nedd4-1, Nedd4-2, ... -
Ecdysone signaling and miRNA let-7 cooperate in regulating the differentiation of the germline stem cell progeny
(2015-05-06)Adult stem cells are found in most adult tissues where they are responsible for replacing cells that are lost due to turnover or injury. They have the unique ability to give rise to differentiated progeny, while at the ... -
Physiological functions of the adrenocortical circadian clock
(2014-09-10)In the course of evolution most organisms have evolved endogenous circadian clocks that help them to anticipate daily environmental changes in light, temperature and food availability and therefore adjust physiology and ... -
Attenuated apoptosis as consequence of Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition
(2014-08-14)The developmental program of Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is assumed to be involved in tumor progression, enabling cancer cells to spread from the primary tumor and form metastasis in distant tissues. At least ... -
Characterization of the CNS-specific F-box protein FBXO41 in cerebellar development
(2014-05-28)During neurodevelopment, processes like neurogenesis, neuronal migration and morphogenesis, as well as synaptogenesis determine the shape and function of the brain. All developmental events are highly coordinated by extrinsic ... -
Role of cellular dynamics, adhesion and polarity in the context of primordial germ cell migration in Xenopus laevis embryos
(2014-02-11)Directional cell migration is an intensively studied process relevant for both normal development of an organism as well as for a number of pathological conditions such as chronic inflammation and cancer. Primordial germ ... -
Characterization of NDR kinase signalling pathways during septum formation in Neurospora crassa
(2013-11-27)Cytokinesis is a fundamental cellular process essential for cell proliferation of unicellular and multicellular organisms. The molecular pathways that regulate cytokinesis are highly complex and involve a large number of ... -
Functional analysis of the Drosophila gene smallish (CG43427)
(2013-09-18)The establishment and maintenance of cell polarity is crucial for the function of many cell types in multicellular organisms. Especially in epithelial tissues, cell polarity is connected to the regulation of cell adhesion ... -
Molecular characterization of Ptf1a activity during Xenopus embryogenesis
(2013-08-01)A balance between inhibitory and excitatory neurons is essential for the establishment of a functional vertebrate nervous system. A key factor in regulating this balance is the bHLH transcription factor Ptf1a, which promotes ... -
The transmembrane receptors Otk and Otk2 function redundantly in Drosophila Wnt signal transduction
(2013-06-11)Canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways have in common Frizzled (Fz) as the core Wnt receptor element. Recent findings implicate that not only the choice of Wnt ligands, but also the presence of additional ... -
Olfactory Perception and Physiology in Drosophila melanogaster
(2013-05-22)All animals are able to evaluate an odor by its consequences depending on prior experiences. This includes the possibility to show a resembling response to similar odors with the same consequence as well as a distinct ...
