Structural basis of human mitochondrial RNA processing
(2024-12-16)Mitochondrial transcription produces polycistronic transcripts, in which ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) regions are interspersed with transfer RNA (tRNA) sequences. Endonucleolytic cleavages at the 5' and ... -
Comparative analyses of stress-induced dynamics in global differential gene expression across more than 550 million years of streptophyte evolution
(2024-11-22)The transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats was a major evolutionary step in the evolution of plants. It ushered in the birth of embryophytes. This transition occurred before the last common ancestor (LCA) of land ... -
The role of pragmatics in early word learning
(2024-10-10)Young children show remarkable abilities in learning words from highly ambiguous surroundings. Regardless how many languages they learn, they seem to have no effort in linking a novel word to its correct meaning. ... -
Influence of clock gene homologs and Pseudomonas spp. on Verticillium dahliae development and host plant interaction
(2024-08-09)The soil-borne phytopathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae requires a tight regulation to form different developmental structures for infection, colonization of the plant vasculature and survival in soil. The fungal life ... -
Engagement in web-based interventions for individuals who sexually abused children
(2024-05-16)Although treatment for individuals who committed sexual offenses against children (ICSOC) can reduce their likelihood of reoffending, many individuals remain without treatment due to a lack of its availability. One way to ... -
Protein Signatures of Incision Injury in Humans and Mice - a Translational Study
(2024-05-08)Acute pain is the physiological reaction of a body to noxious external stimuli such as surgical interventions. Depending on the intensity and persistence of pain, tissue recovery may be hampered leading to post-operative ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Unmasking the perception of temporal successions
(2023-03-02)Temporal and masking research share theoretical, methodological and empirical similarities indicating that they might investigate a similar aspect of our neural functioning. Nevertheless, temporal and masking mechanisms ... -
The structure of coastal invertebrate communities and their temporal and spatial dynamics
(2022-11-22)The Wadden Sea is one of the largest tidal flats in the world, stretching across the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and western Denmark. Along sheltered coastlines lie salt marshes which are essential habitats for a ... -
The role of causal representations in moral judgment
(2022-09-05)Morality and causation are deeply intertwined. For instance, the value of anticipated consequences is a crucial input for an action’s moral permissibility, and assigning blame or responsibility for outcomes generally ... -
Cell type specific transcriptomic characterization of myelin abnormalities
(2022-08-22)Myelin is indispensable for the fast and efficient transmission of electric signals along axons. The formation of myelin by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) is tightly regulated at the transcriptional ... -
Anti-apoptotic and neuroprotective erythropoietin/CRLF3-signalling in insects and humans
(2022-06-14)The cytokine receptor like factor 3 (CRLF3) evolved together with the eumetazoan nervous system and is present in all major groups of Animalia. Based on sequence similarities, CRLF3 was assigned to the family of class 1 ... -
Analysis of the Cell Entry of Enveloped Viruses and Identification of Potential Intervention Strategies
(2022-05-19)Viruses are a continuous threat for the human population. They are causing tremendous damage to human health and economy. Not only zoonotic viruses, which jump from animals to humans, but also the spread of highly adapted ... -
Nachhaltige Landnutzung und Gesundheit als Bildungskontexte für das rurale Madagaskar – Effektivität und Umsetzbarkeit von Maßnahmen aus Sicht von Expert*innen und Lehrkräften
(2022-04-28)Education plays a central role for Sustainable Development. In Madagascar, most of the population only completes primary education, making Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) highly relevant already for primary ... -
Social relationships: key to gut microbiome composition in wild redfronted lemurs?
(2022-03-03)The gut microbiome consists of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract of an animal and plays a pivotal role in the health of the host. This microbial community is highly dynamic ... -
Mechanisms of robust feature extraction in early visual processing
(2022-02-24)The detection of changes in signal intensity, namely contrast, happens across senses. Visual systems extract contrast information at very early stages. The first cells to “sense” light, the photoreceptors, carry contrast ... -
The phasmatodean tree of life - Resolving evolutionary patterns of diversity and disparity in a mesodiverse insect lineage
(2021-12-06)Phasmatodea comprises a group of large terrestrial herbivores commonly known as stick and leaf insects. Their name reflects their impeccable masquerade as plant parts, with most species exhibiting an elongated and slender ... -
Untying Gordian knots: The evolution and biogeography of the large European apomictic polyploid Ranunculus auricomus plant complex
(2021-10-19)Polyploidy, the presence of two or more full genomic complements, repeatedly occurs across the tree of life. In plants, not only the economic but particularly the evolutionary importance is overwhelming. Polyploidization ...
