Blattwasserzustand und Wasserumsatz von vier Buchenwäldern entlang eines Niederschlagsgradienten in Mitteldeutschland
(2003-12-15)1. The aim of the study was to analyze the plasticity of common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in water use and the regulation of water balance in adaptation to forest sites with widely differing precipitation regimes. The ... -
Blue light-dependent development of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans
(2007-11-22)Numerous studies have revealed that fungal development and the production of secondary metabolites are linked although the molecular mechanisms are yet unknown. Light seems to be one of the ... -
Bone Marrow Derived Adult Stem Cells: Characterization and Application in Cell Therapy
(2007-04-25)Due to their high plasticity, ES cells offer a great promise in regenerative medicine; however, the ethical and serious clinical problems limit their application. On the other hand, the ... -
Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF): Untersuchungen zur Expression und Regulation in vitro sowie zur funktionellen Relevanz in der experimentellen autoimmunen Enzephalomyelitis (EAE)
(2010-07-14)The neurotrophin brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is essential for the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Neurons are the main cellular source of this neurotrophin, ... -
Bringing bioinformatics to the bench: SubtiWiki 5.0 and new web tools for research
(2025-10-29)Model organisms are central to biological research, as their study provides crucial insights into fundamental processes of life and enables biotechnological applications. The intensive research on these organisms spans ... -
Ein bronzezeitlicher Familienclan als genetisches Archiv – Morphologisch-paläogenetische Bearbeitung des Skelettkollektivs aus der Lichtensteinhöhle
(2017-02-22)The Lichtenstein Cave is a cleft cave in the Lichtenstein a mountain located in the Harz Mountains. Large numbers of human bones were found spread over the anthropogenic part of the cave. According to the associated ... -
Bryophyte and macrolichen diversity of the Purdiaea nutans forest in southern Ecuador and its relationship to soil, climate and vegetation structure
(2008-10-02)This study confirms that the unique Purdiaea nutans forest in the upper montane belt of the Reserva Biologíca San Francisco in southern Ecuador is an azonal ridge vegetation type. Our ... -
Butterfly communities in the natural landscape of West Khentej, northern Mongolia: diversity and conservation value
(2006-01-16)This thesis provides an insight into the natural history of butterfly species which are found in the West Khentej mountains of northern Mongolia. The study area is located in the transition ... -
Der bZIP-Transkriptionsfaktor BZI-1 aus Nicotiana tabacum: Analyse der in vivo Funktion durch Modulation der BZI-1- Aktivierungseigenschaften in transgenen Pflanzen
(2002-06-12)The tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) bZIP protein BZI-1 exhibits all typical characteristics of a transcription factor. BZI-1 binds to G-box and C-box cis-elements in vivo, and the N-terminus ... -
C-terminal tyrosine residue modifications modulate α-synuclein toxicity in yeast as unicellular model for Parkinson´s disease
(2016-12-07)The presence of protein inclusions called Lewy bodies (LBs) that are mainly composed of misfolded and accumulated α-synuclein (αSyn) represents a hallmark of Parkinson´s disease (PD). Oligomeric αSyn species are thought ... -
Calcium and cAMP homeostasis determine network organisation of respiratory pre-Bötzinger neurons in Mecp2 null mice in vitro.
(2013-07-03)Rett Syndrome (RS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused primarily by mutations in a Mecp2 gene on the X chromosome that encodes methyl-cytosine binding protein (MeCP2). MeCP2 acts as a transcriptional repressor and an ... -
Calreticulin in kidney function and disease: chronic low level of calreticulin impairs Ca2+ homeostasis leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic renal injury
(2012-11-28)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is becoming a major public health problem worldwide. The persistent progression of CKD is postulated to result from a self-perpetuating vicious cycle of events activated after initial injury. ... -
CaMKII-dependent regulation of ion channels and its role in cardiac arrhythmias
(2008-07-24)Intracellular calcium (Ca2+) is a central second messenger, which translates the electrical signal into cardiac contraction. This process is termed excitation-contraction coupling (E-C ... -
