The prothoracic repellent glands of stick and leaf insects: Reconstructing the morphological and chemical evolution of an elaborate arthropod defensive system
(2024-03-11)Stick and leaf insects (Phasmatodea) form a diverse lineage of large herbivorous arthropods inhabiting predominantly tropical and subtropical regions. These insects are well known for their impressing camouflage capabilities, ... -
The complex formation of RNase P and RNase MRP in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2024-03-06)Ribonucleoproteins comprise a class of complexes that consist of RNAs and proteins. Riobozymes are catalytically active ribonucleoproteins that play a key role in the maturation of various RNAs. A prominent example is ... -
Optimization of experimental procedures for the assessment of auditory cognition in non human primates
(2024-02-23)In a loose sense, the exceptional development of technology in the past three decades has allowed researchers to drastically improve the quality and quantity of behavioral data. However, the methodological advances achieved ... -
Mechanistic differences in mouse models of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(2024-02-21)Heart failure (HF) is the most potent epidemic of the 21st century. Based on ejection fraction (EF), HF has been classified into two distinct entities; heart failure with reduced EF (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ... -
Characterization of human Neuropsin (hOPN5) and development of new mutants for optogenetic stimulation of the Gq signaling cascade
(2024-02-20)Gq signaling plays a pivotal role in the physiological adaptation of cellular behavior based on the individual body's needs and it is also involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases including cancer, autoimmunity, ... -
The manifestations and interdependence of social and physiological aging in wild female Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis)
(2023-12-11)Aging is a multifaceted process which increases the probability of death, and although there can be only one outcome, the ways to get there are diverse. Accumulating evidence of aging in natural animal populations has shed ... -
Computational analysis of transcriptional regulation and chromatin assembly
(2023-12-07)Primordial germ cells (PGCs), the precursors of gametes, are specified from post-implantation epiblast cells in response to bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling at the onset of gastrulation in mouse. Followed by ... -
The enzymatic product of SH2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatases supports the fitness of BCR-dependent Burkitt lymphoma cells by promoting the energy metabolism
(2023-11-23)Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an aggressively growing neoplasm owing to an over expression of the MYC oncogene and exploitation of the tonic B cell receptor (BCR) signaling for its survival. While it is known that the survival ... -
Is increased Na+ influx a cause of mitochondrial redox stress, cardiomyopathy, and a therapeutic target?
(2023-11-09)Maintaining balanced Na+ levels is critical for normal functioning of cardiomyocytes, including contractions, excitation-contraction coupling (ECC), and metabolism. The NaV1.5-F1759A (human) mutation, which increases ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
