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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Revealing ultrastructural changes that determine the development of a CNS synapse
(2023-04-14)Endbulbs of Held are synaptic contacts between auditory nerve fibers and bushy cells in the cochlear nucleus (CN) and represent the first central synapses of the auditory pathway. Endbulbs undergo functional and structural ... -
Structure-based Search for novel c-di-AMP Synthase Inhibiting Fragments
(2023-03-24)One of the major threats for the global health system is the increasing number of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains. The misuse of antibiotics during the Covid pandemic aggravates these problems. Therefore, the ... -
Ablation of cell-specific cholesterol synthesis affects cerebral β-amyloidosis
(2023-03-13)Cholesterol, an essential membrane component, among others modifies membrane fluidity and regulates cell signaling. CNS cholesterol metabolism is separated from peripheral cholesterol by specific properties of the ... -
The phosphorus and nitrogen nutrition of European beech under a future warmer and drier climate: climate chamber experiments and transect studies
(2023-03-13)Productivity of temperate forests may increasingly be limited by phosphorus (P) shortage, as indicated by decreasing P concentrations and increasing nitrogen (N):P ratios in leaves and fine roots and reports on recent ... -
The influence of temperature, nutrient availability and soil depth on root exudation in european beech forests
(2023-03-10)The availability of mineral nutrients (i.e. N, P) in unfertilized soils is often not adequate to meet plant demand, which in turn creates a necessity to fulfil the supply requirements from nutrient release from soil organic ... -
Comparing northern German Scots pine plantations with natural beech forests: Soil carbon pools and growth dynamics
(2023-03-10)Forestry in the North German Lowlands has been historically characterized by pine in particular. Apart from pine, beech is one of the most important deciduous tree species in this region and would naturally also be the ...
