Resolving intermediate states of mitotic entry
(2025-12-08)Mitosis, the division of cells, is a fundamental biological process essential for growth, tissue repair, and the propagation of genetic material. Mitosis is tightly regulated and its dysregulation has severe consequences, ... -
Investigating biocompatibility of super-resolution compatible fluorescent DNA probes in mouse living tissues
(2025-12-08)Fluorescence nanoscopy allows the observation of living biological structures at the nanometer scale. However, choosing the best fluorophore for in-vivo imaging often is a challenging task as systematic studies investigating ... -
Enhancing RNAi-Based Pest Control through Effective Target Gene Selection and Optimal dsRNA Design
(2025-12-04)The growing global population demands new strategies for sustainable pest management. Chemical insecticides, while historically successful in controlling pest populations to protect agricultural yields and suppress disease ... -
Generation and characterization of an otic bioengineered neuronal organoid (oBENO) from human pluripotent stem cells
(2025-12-03)Hearing loss impacts nearly 20% of the global population, and according to estimations its prevalence will increase by 2050, affecting around 1 in 4 individuals. The most common form of hearing impairment, sensorineural ... -
Community assembly processes of intertidal salt marsh microarthropods
(2025-12-01)Salt marshes are highly dynamic ecosystems at the land–sea interface, shaped by steep environmental gradients and frequent disturbances. They provide critical ecosystem services, including coastal protection, nutrient ... -
Untersuchungen zum Wasserhaushalt tropischer Bäume in Abhängigkeit von der Meereshöhe in Süd-Ecuador
(2025-11-27)The scope of this research study examines the influence elevation has on the water status in tropical montane rainforests in southern Ecuador. The investigation focused upon the vessel anatomy of branches and roots as well ... -
Ecological and functional significance of plant hydraulics in a changing climate
(2025-11-27)This habilitation treatise evolved from seven years of postdoctoral work in the Department of Plant Ecology and Ecosystem research at the University of Göttingen. During this time, I had the opportunity to continue my ... -
Network hyperexcitability and dopaminergic neuron loss in a novel A30P-driven Parkinson’s midbrain organoid model
(2025-11-24)Midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons are essential for motor control, reward processing, emotional regulation and motivation. The degeneration of these neurons, seen in Parkinson’s disease (PD), disrupts fine motor control, ... -
Uncovering the interactome of peripheral myelin protein 22 kDa (PMP22) to understand its role in health and neuropathy
(2025-11-20)PMP22, a hydrophobic glycoprotein, is crucial for proper myelination in Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system. Dosage alterations lead to the neuropathies Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 1A (CMT1A), where PMP22 is ... -
Functional relevance of oligodendroglial CDC42 effector proteins CDC42EP1 and CDC42EP2 in myelin morphogenesis
(2025-11-12)Myelin sheaths are composed of multiple compacted membrane layers that tightly encase the underlying axon. Structural abnormalities of myelin indicate pathological processes and are frequently associated with neurological ... -
Computational analysis of nucleosome assembly and cis-regulatory DNA elements
(2025-11-12)Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) represent embryonic stem cells (ESCs) that are reprogrammed from somatic stem cells. iPSCs can be directed to differentiate into any cell type in the human body, therefore, holding ... -
Comparative Cognitive Flexibility Assessment: Multidimensional set-shifting in monkeys, adult humans and children and adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
(2025-11-10)This thesis aims to provide a be0er and more comprehensive understanding of one of the crucial execu8ve func8ons: cogni8ve flexibility (Chapters 2 and 3). To that end, we have developed a novel mul8-dimensional set-shiEing ... -
