Effects of agri-environmental measures in intensively managed farmland on the soil seed bank, butterflies and carabid beetles in Germany - Influence of local conditions and surrounding landscape on biodiversity
(2023-09-26)Monitoring of the soil seed bank, butterflies, and carabid beetles, representing different trophic groups, provides an insight into the broader effects of agri-environmental measures in intensively used arable landscapes. ... -
Inter-and Intraindividual Variation in Emotion Recognition: Investigating the Role of the Ovulatory Cycle, Sex, and Personality
(2023-09-18)Previous research has shown that emotion recognition varies within and between individuals, influenced by physiological and psychological factors such as hormones, biological sex, and dispositional traits. However, ... -
Characterization of Npl3 as a 5'- and 3'- quality control factor
(2023-09-11)Maturation of RNA polymerase II transcripts consists of 5’-capping, splicing, cleavage and 3’-polyadenylation. These processes can generate faulty transcripts that have to be retained in the nucleus to be degraded. An mRNA ... -
Characterization of novel protein players in pain
(2023-08-16)Despite its high prevalence in the human society, the mechanisms underlying chronic pain and pain chronification are still poorly understood. The shortage of potential targets that are specific to pathological chronic pain, ... -
Quantitative Multicolour Nanoscopy for the Investigation of the Postsynaptic Actin Cytoskeleton
(2023-08-16)Cognitive processes like the formation of memory and learning originate in the correct functioning of synapses. Dendritic spines are highly plastic, specialised actin-rich structures harbouring the postsynaptic site in ... -
The role of TRIP13 in DNA damage repair
(2023-08-10)Double-strand breaks, the most toxic DNA lesions, can be repaired via homologous recombination or non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Using the right pathway at the right time is crucial to maintain genome integrity. ... -
Determinants of vocal usage in the genus Chlorocebus
(2023-08-04)The vocal communication of non-human primates has been the center of extensive research efforts that aimed to advance our understanding of the evolution of vocal communication and human speech. The alarm call system of the ... -
Are words special in early development?
(2023-08-03)In the realm of early development, words have been considered as unique due to their ability to facilitate the formation of physical object categories by highlighting common visual features among them. Nevertheless, ... -
Altercentric Bias: A Potential New Window into Implicit Theory of Mind
(2023-07-24)It has been traditionally assumed that theory of mind (ToM) -our ability to ascribe mental states to others and ourselves- emerges around age four, as indicated in performance on standard explicit false belief (FB) tasks ... -
Excitation-Secretion Coupling of Dense-Core Vesicle Release
(2023-07-18)Dense-core vesicles (DCVs) are membrane-bound organelles present in many secretory cells. Depending on cell type, DCVs package and release various types of cargo, such as neuronal peptides, proteins, neurotrophins, ATP, ... -
Animal welfare from the animal’s perspective: Tapping into their psychological experiences
(2023-07-13)The primary goal of animal welfare science is to make an accurate assessment of an animal’s well-being at a given time. To facilitate this goal, animal welfare and severity assessments were developed to integrate information ... -
Investigation of the role of prolyl isomerase A in protein misfolding associated with neurodegenerative diseases
(2023-06-26)Misfolded proteins and disrupted homeostasis are key characteristics of neurodegenerative diseases. There is a strong association between intrinsically disordered proteins and pathogenic misfolding in neurodegenerative ... -
Understanding the role of the transcription factor MGA in primordial germ cell differentiation
(2023-06-20)One of the most crucial cell lineage decisions in mammalian embryos is the differentiation of a few pluripotent epiblast cells into primordial germ cells (PGCs). PGCs are unique for their ability to mature into either sperm ... -
The Development of Recursive Meta-Representational Theory of Mind
(2023-06-02)Domain-general theories of Theory of Mind development assume that the ability to understand mental states (representations) as such is based on a fundamental understanding of representa-tions as representations ... -
Genotype-Phenotype Correlation in Noonan Syndrome – Focus on LZTR1 and its Substrates
(2023-05-30)Noonan syndrome (NS) is a multisystemic disorder that is known as one of the most common monogenetic diseases associated with early-onset congenital heart defects, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Infants diagnosed ... -
Monitoring mitochondrial translation with spatial resolution and high throughput strategies
(2023-05-30)Nearly all mitochondrial proteins are encoded in the nuclear genome, synthesized in the cytosol, and imported into mitochondria. However, mitochondria are semi-autonomous and possess their own genome, the mitochondrial DNA ... -
Anthropologische Bearbeitung der Bestattungen napoleonischer Soldaten aus Frankfurt-Rödelheim zur Rekonstruktion der Lebensbedingungen in der Grande Armée
(2023-05-23)In this work, the human remains of more than 200 Napoleonic soldiers, which were archaeologically recovered in the Rödelheim district (Frankfurt am Main) in 2015, were comprehensively anthropologically examined. The aim ... -
Evaluation of a Noise Reduction and Information Management System on Noise, Stress, Communication and User Acceptance of Crews in the Operating Room and the Medical Laboratory
(2023-05-16)The theoretical background includes the working definitions, theories, and models. It will be shown that noise levels exceed recommendations by the World Health Organisation and that the consequences of noise are detrimental ... -
Social information sampling and decision-making: An evolutionary and ontogenetic perspective
(2023-05-16)An advantage of being a group-living-, as opposed to a solitary-species, is having the opportunity to engage with conspecifics in mutually beneficial cooperative activities. Choice of cooperation partner often decides ... -
Learning and Retrieval of Crossmodally Associated Valence in Face Perception
(2023-04-18)How someone’s face is perceived is not only influenced by their facial expression but also largely by the situational context as well as by previous experiences with that person. Although emotional expressions of faces and ...
