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 ... -
Monitoring mitochondrial translation with spatial resolution and high throughput strategies
(2023-05-30)Nearly all mitochondrial proteins are encoded in the nuclear genome, synthesized in the cytosol, and imported into mitochondria. However, mitochondria are semi-autonomous and possess their own genome, the mitochondrial DNA ... -
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 ... -
Cotranslational folding of HemK C-terminal domain
(2023-03-17)The correct folding of proteins is essential for the survival of the cell. Despite the importance of the question, it remains largely unclear how proteins, in particular large multidomain proteins with mixed α-helical and ... -
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 phoshorus 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 ... -
Regulation of inter-sexual relationships within the microcosm of Guinea baboon units
(2023-03-03)Male reproductive success is linked in most animals to their access to fertile females. Resulting competition among males presents a strong selective pressure on male reproductive strategies. In species with female choice ... -
Alignment-free Phylogenetic Placement and its Applications
(2023-03-03)The study of the evolutionary interrelations of living organisms has been at the heart of biological sciences all along. A revolution in sequencing techniques in the past decades has caused a massive increase in molecular ... -
Flip - Reading processes when reading mirrored script
(2023-03-03)There is a common consensus that orthographic processing is deeply rooted in the structure of the visual system. One central aspect that is particularly important in visual processing is mirror-generalization, which is the ... -
Diversity and Trophic Ecology of Arboreal Spider (Araneae) Assemblages along a Transformation Gradient from Lowland Rainforest to Oil Palm Plantations in Jambi Province, Sumatra, Indonesia
(2023-03-02)In chapter 2, I investigated the canopy spider abundance, biomass, richness and community composition across a land-use gradient from tropical lowland rainforest via jungle rubber to monocultures of rubber and oil palm. ... -
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 ... -
AntisenseRNA mediated gene regulation via double stranded RNA formation
(2023-03-01)The flow of genetic information in eukaryotic cells is established through transcription from the nuclear DNA into messenger (m)RNA, which travels into the cytoplasm for translation into proteins, the functional units of ... -
