Funktionelle Analyse des Transkriptionsfaktors Pitx3 während der Entwicklung dopaminerger Neuronen im murinen Mittelhirn
(2013-09-04)The transcription factor PITX3 is expressed only in postmitotic mDA neurons of the midbrain and shows a complete co-expression of TH in the VTA and the SN. At a loss to PITX3 expression (aphakia mouse) the mDA neurons of ... -
Glycogen metabolism influences embryonic segmentation and appendages outgrowth during Tribolium castaneum embryogenesis
(2022-02-17)Embryonic segmentation of arthropods is a dynamic biological process that produces an organism by pattern formation, morphogenesis and specification of corresponding cells. The involved genes have mostly been identified ... -
Identification and analysis of novel insect head patterning genes
(2015-09-24)The insect head is a composite structure of several segments and an anterior non-segmental region. Due to head involution, the Drosophila larval head is strongly reduced and for technical reasons the developmental basis ... -
Identification and Characterization of Novel Genes involved in Quinone Synthesis in the Odoriferous Defensive Stink Glands of the Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium castaneum
(2021-05-26)Defense strategies are common in insects including Coleoptera, the largest animal taxon containing various types of beetles. Stink gland secretion of beetles is playing an important role in their defense against detrimental ... -
Induktion und Spezifikation serotonerger Neurone des ventralen Rhombencephalon der Maus
(2009-10-26)The serotonergic (5-HT) system is involved in the modulation of mood and behaviour. Extrinsic factors, such as fibroblast growth factor 4 (Fgf4), Fgf8, and sonic hedghog (Shh), dictate ... -
New molecular technologies to improve the Sterile Insect Technique for the Mediterranean fruitfly <i>Ceratitis capitata</i> (Diptera; Tephritidae)
(2008-05-26)Insect pests cause enormous economic losses to livestock as well as pre- and postharvest stages of agricultural commodities. The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (medfly; Wiedemann, Diptera: Tephritidae;) is one ... -
Non-human primate iPS cells for cell replacement therapies and human cardiovascular disease modeling
(2019-12-03)Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) have revolutionized biomedical research due to their versatility. They have potential for regenerative medicine, drug testing, disease modeling and developmental biology. The development ... -
Regulation of segment polarity genes in the head region of different arthropods
(2010-10-11)Head segmentation in insects, as reflected by the model system Drosophila melanogaster, is less well understood in comparison to the trunk. While the gnathal segments (mandibular, maxillary, ... -
RNA interference: Process and Application to Pest Control
(2020-07-28)Innovation is one of the keys to ensure effective insect pest control in crop protection. A much discussed novelty to insect pest management is represented by RNA interference (RNAi). Employing this conserved virus defense ... -
Role of Protein phosphatase V in Cell Cycle Control
(2017-08-28)The cell cycle mode is variant among different cell and tissue types and is remodeled during development. This change between modes is referred as cell cycle switch or remodeling. In Drosophila melanogaster, the canonical ... -
The Role of Arabidopsis Class-II TGA Transcription Factors in PAMP-mediated Defense Responses
(2010-09-13)The redundant class-II TGA transcription factors TGA2, TGA5 and TGA6 are important activators of SA-induced defense response. In this thesis, the influence of class-II TGA factors in ... -
The role of Tc-foxQ2 in the central brain development in Tribolium castaneum
(2019-01-24)The brain is the most complex organ in animals. It controls and coordinates operations like physiology and behavior. The insect brain is built by a conserved set of neuropils which arise from the neuroblasts (NBs). The ... -
The Role of the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Cdh1-APC in Axon Growth in the Mammalian Brain
(2012-09-14)Neuronal differentiation begins with initiation of the axon. Both extrinsic factors in the neuronal environment and cell-autonomous players contribute to successful axonal morphogenesis. The E3 ubiquitin ligase, ... -
Understanding Transcriptional Control During Primordial Germ Cell Differentiation
(2022-07-08)AP2γ, encoded by Tfap2c, is a transcription factor which both represses and activates target gene expression. It is required for the survival of the early mouse embryo; depending on the context of its depletion, the loss ...
