Dynamic Arc SUMOylation and Selective Interaction with F-Actin-Binding Protein Drebrin A in LTP Consolidation In Vivo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05-10)Activity-regulatedcytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc) protein is implicated as a master regulator of long-term forms of synaptic plasticity and memory formation, but the mechanisms controlling Arc protein function are ... -
Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI detects early response to adoptive NK cellular immunotherapy targeting the NG2 proteoglycan in a rat model of glioblastoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-30)There are currently no established radiological parameters that predict response to immunotherapy. We hypothesised that multiparametric, longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of physiological parameters and ... -
Dynamic expression of long noncoding RNAs and repeat elements in synaptic plasticity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-01)Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission is recognized as a cellular mechanism for learning and memory storage. Although de novo gene transcription is known to be required in the formation of stable LTP, the ... -
Dynamic switching between intrinsic and extrinsic mode networks as demands change from passive to active processing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-08)In this study we report on the relationship between default and extrinsic mode networks across alternating brief periods of rest and active task processing. Three different visual tasks were used in a classic fMRI ON–OFF ... -
Early Evolutionary Selection of NAD Biosynthesis Pathway in Bacteria
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Bacteria use two alternative pathways to synthesize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) from nicotinamide (Nam). A short, two-step route proceeds through nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) formation, whereas the other ... -

EEG Analysis in Adults with Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity-Disorder. Resting state and behavioural data analysis
(Master thesis, 2015-05-31)Introduction: Adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are examined by electroencephalography (EEG). EEG is a non-invasive method to measure brain activity indirectly, by measuring voltage changes on the ... -
The effect of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on serum tryptophan metabolites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-31)Background: Prior studies suggest that activation of the tryptophan catabolism via the kynurenine pathway by proinflammatory cytokines may be involved in the pathophysiology of depression. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) ... -
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on malignant progression in different breast cancer models in vivo
(Master thesis, 2016-07-01)Background: Hypoxia is an important feature of most solid tumors and has shown to serve as a mediator for aggressive tumor growth and malignant progression of cancer. A correlation between low oxygen tension in tumors and ... -
The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment, alone or in combination with 5-FU, on a MDA-MB-231 human mammary tumor model
(Master thesis, 2012-06-20)Background: Previous studies of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on chemically induced and murine breast cancer models have shown promising results. This study was performed to elucidate the effects of HBO on a human ... -
Effect of nerve injury on the number of dorsal root ganglion neurons and autotomy behavior in adult Bax-deficient mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-30)Background: The proapoptotic molecule BAX, plays an important role in mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons depend on neurotrophic factors for survival at early developmental stages. Withdrawal ... -
The effect of omega-3 and mega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids on the production of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase metabolites by human umbilical vein endothelial cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-27)Although the correlation between polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and the production of pro- and anti-inflammatory metabolites is well documented, little is known about the simultaneous effect of different PUFA on the ... -
The effect of stromal integrin β3-deficiency on two different tumors in mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01-12) -
Effect of Topical Anaesthetics on Interstitial Colloid Osmotic Pressure in Human Subcutaneous Tissue Sampled by Wick Technique
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-02-14)Objectives: To measure colloid osmotic pressure in interstitial fluid (COPi) from human subcutaneous tissue with the modified wick technique in order to determine influence of topical application of anaesthetics, dry vs. ... -
Effective polyethylene glycol passivation for the inhibition of surface interactions of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and platelets
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-06-20)The inhibition of unspecific adhesion of human white blood cells is a prerequisite for applications requiring the control of defined surface interactions. In this study, a passivation agent based on polyethylene glycol ... -
Effective treatment of metastatic melanoma by combining MAPK and PI3K signaling pathway inhibitors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-29)Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer and is closely associated with the development of brain metastases. Despite aggressive treatment, the prognosis has traditionally been poor, necessitating ... -
The effects of ageing on microenvironment-contextual epithelial cell signalling
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-04-06)Age is the greatest risk factor for developing cancer. Two-thirds of cancer diagnoses occur in people over the age of 65. This increased vulnerability to tumourigenesis is attributed to intrinsic cellular changes, in ... -
Effects of blood contamination and the rostro-caudal gradient on the human cerebrospinal fluid proteome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-03-05)Over the last years there has been an increased focus on the importance of knowing the effect of pre-analytical influence on the proteomes under study, particularly in the field of biomarker discovery. We present three ... -
