(2025-10-30)The establishment of the diagnosis of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD) in the new classification system (ICD-11) has brought with it new diagnostic procedures. However, these procedures do not differentiate ... -
Role of bacterial rhamnolipids in plant tolerance to abiotic stresses
(2025-10-29)Rhamnolipids (RLs), glycolipids produced by Pseudomonas and Burkholderia species, have been described as potential biocontrol agents due to their antagonistic activity against pathogens and their ability to induce plant ... -
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 ... -
Complex Coacervation of Disordered Proteins: focus on α-Synuclein and Polyamines
(2025-10-28)The discovery of phase-separated bodies in cells has revealed an additional mesoscale layer of organisation in cellular and molecular biology. The enrichment of RNA in these biomolecular condensates suggests that charge ... -
Addressing Habits in Anorexia Nervosa
(2025-10-23)Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a mental disorder that affects up to 0.3% of men and 6.2% of women worldwide and places a significant burden on the individual, their social environment and the healthcare system. Although ... -
Studies on Testicular Development and Aging in the Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) and the Establishment of Somatic Testicular Cell Lines
(2025-10-15)The phenomenon of reproductive ageing in women has been known for a long time and some aspects of this phenomenon are well understood. However, ageing effects in the testes were not recognized for a long time, as aged males ... -
Design-based Research on Promoting Relevance Perceptions in Socioscientific Teaching and Learning – Sustainable Oil Palm Cultivation in Science Teacher and Forestry Education
(2025-10-02)Recent interdisciplinary scientific research has suggested evidence-based management strategies for more sustainable oil palm cultivation, such as reducing agrochemicals and establishing agroforestry systems. For this ... -
The evolution of an unusual adult sex ratio in wild redfronted lemurs (Eulemur rufifrons)
(2025-09-19)Variation in adult sex ratios (ASR), defined as the proportion of adult males to females, reflects complex demographic and evolutionary processes. Female-biased ASRs characterize the vast majority of non-monogamous mammals, ... -
Investigations towards a link of morphodynamics and transcriptional pattern in embryonic tissues during morphogenesis
(2025-09-16)The acquisition and loss of epithelial characteristics—such as apico-basal polarity, cell–cell adhesion, and barrier integrity—are essential processes during development, regeneration, and disease. While epithelial–mesenchymal ... -
Advancing soil nematode research: molecular, morphological and stable isotope analyses
(2025-09-16)The overarching aim of this dissertation was to explore the impact of environmental variances on soil nematode communities, their trophic interactions and their ecological roles by integrating traditional morphological ... -
Psychological Effects of Age and Hormonal Contraceptive Use in the Context of Female Reproductive Decision Making
(2025-09-05)Reproductive decision making is a central aspect of human life, shaped by both biological and psychological factors. While prior research has often focused on fertility-related outcomes, little is known about if and how ... -
Female fitness in wild Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis)
(2025-09-03)Variation in fitness arises from the interaction of life-history constraints and social and environmental variability. In long-lived, slow-reproducing species like primates, selective pressure on fitness components ... -
Molecular mechanisms underlying silent synapse generation and their role in drug-associated behaviors
(2025-08-29)Silent synapses are immature glutamatergic connections that express stable NMDARs, while AMPARs are absent. These synapses are abundant during early development and serve as plasticity substrates, offering synaptic ... -
Multi-omics analysis of human transcription elongation factors
(2025-08-19)Transcription by RNA Polymerases (Pol) is a highly regulated fundamental process in all living organisms, with its misregulation linked to various diseases, developmental issues, and aging. This intricate process is ... -
Children’s Identification and Filling of Knowledge Gaps in Digital Learning Environments
(2025-08-11)Children face uncertainty during learning, which can indicate they have a gap in their knowledge. Identifying and addressing knowledge gaps is fundamental for effective learning. Metacognition and external feedback play a ... -
Analysis of small nucleolar (sno)RNA shuttling in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2025-08-07)Small nucleolar (sno)RNAs are a group of non-coding RNAs and can be classified into box C/D snoRNA and box H/ACA snoRNA based on their conserved sequences. They are further associated with snoRNA core proteins to form ... -
Analysis of Transcription Factor Binding and Cancer Stage-Specific Regulatory Dynamics Using DNA-Binding Domain Annotations
(2025-07-31)Transcription Factors (TFs) regulate gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences through their DNA-Binding Domain (DBD)s. Accurate modeling of TF–DNA interactions is essential for uncovering the mechanisms of ... -
