Identification of a septin filament required for CNS myelin integrity
(2014-04-14)Axonal integrity and longevity require functionally intact myelin, as demonstrated by the deletion of myelin-specific genes in mice. To identify molecules that contribute to the structural organization of CNS myelin, its ... -
Identification of a unique oligodendrocyte subpopulation in mouse brain
(2018-10-10)Oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) ensheath axons with myelin and are originated from migratory and proliferative progenitor cells, so-called oligodendrocytes progenitor cells (OPCs). While immunoreactivity ... -
Identification of essential and virulence genes in Mycoplasma pneumoniae
(2019-04-16)The bacterial group of Firmicutes includes many pathogenic bacteria, as Mycoplasma pneumoniae. The Gram-positive, but cel wall-less bacterium is characterized by a minimal genome with only 694 genes. Elucidating the function ... -
Identification of factors involved in cell wall homeostasis and tolerance towards quaternary ammonium compounds in Listeria monocytogenes by genomic adaptation
(2023-06-20)Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most successful food-borne pathogens worldwide. Despite available treatment with cell wall targeting antibiotics an infection with concomitant development of listeriosis results in death ... -
Identification of host factors for the replication of the Kaposi’s sarcoma- associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and the related rhesus monkey rhadinovirus (RRV)
(2024-07-23)Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a human tumor virus. It is associated with Kaposi’s sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and multicentric Castleman’s disease. KSHV is known to interact with several different ... -
Identification of novel components involved in selective and unselective autophagic pathways
(2012-04-11)Autophagy is a ubiquitous protein degradation pathway in eukaryotic cells. As response upon nutrient starvation, cytosolic material and also whole organelles are engulfed by a double membrane-layered vesicle, the ... -
Identification of novel rate-limiting components in Arabidopsis cell entry control against non-adapted fungal pathogens
(2024-09-27)Cell entry into host cells represents a crucial step during pathogenesis of fungal phytopathogens. However, plants have evolved an effective cell entry control mechanism to block a majority of intruders at the front line. ... -
Identification of nuclear export signals and structural analysis of transport complexes.
(2013-01-09)The nucleus is a vital sub cellular compartment and it stores the genome. Transport across the nuclear envelope occurs through Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPC) and cargo traffic across the NPCs is a highly specific and ... -
Identification of peptide-RNA heteroconjugates by mass spectrometry
(2020-10-12)Proteins and nucleic acids are two of the major constituents of life and their interplay is at the center of most biological processes. A deep understanding of the interaction between these biomolecules is crucial for ... -
Identification of the molecular changes underlying head morphology variation in closely related Drosophila species
(2016-09-09)The great diversity of adult morphologies that we can observe in nature is the product of millions of years of evolution of the underlying developmental programs. The genes that code for the transcription factors and ... -
Identification of therapeutic targets in the Burkitt’s lymphoma specific B cell antigen receptor signaling network
(2018-11-12)Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive B cell neoplasm that is characterized by a chromosomal translocation, which brings the proto-oncogene c-MYC under the control of Immunoglobulin (Ig) enhancer elements leading to ... -
Identifying stage-specific markers of Alzheimer's disease using quantitative proteomics
(2018-09-13)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that leads to progressive memory loss and impairment of other cognitive functions. It is the most prevalent form of dementia in the elderly and is estimated ... -
Identifying Target Genes related to Respiratory Network Dysfunction in a Mouse Model for the Rett Syndrome
(2013-02-05)Rett Syndrome is a severe neurological disorder caused by mutations in the X chromosome-linked MECP2 gene, which encodes the transcription factor methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2). Symptoms become obvious during early ... -
Illuminating the Morphological and Functional Plasticity of the Cochlear Inner Hair Cell Ribbon Synapse
(2023-10-24)Sound detection occurs in the cochlea, where sensory inner hair cells (IHC) accurately convert auditory stimuli into a neurochemical signal. Presynaptically, cochlear IHCs harbor highly-specialized electron-dense specializations ... -
Imaging Network Alterations in Patients With Genetic Generalized Epilepsy and Their Healthy Siblings Using Magneto- and Electroencephalography
(2022-04-05)Genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) is a common epilepsy syndrome and represents the largest group of epilepsies suspected to have a complex genetic etiology. Specific time windows for age of onset and various seizure types ... -
Impact of mechanically-regulated auxin transport dynamics on plant morphogenesis
(2021-10-21)Auxin is a major plant growth regulator whose interaction with cell wall properties is central to its role. Efflux carriers of this phytohormone of the PIN-FORMED family (PIN) respond to the mechanical state of the tissue. ... -
