Moduli of non-standard Nikulin surfaces in low genus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Primitively polarized genus g Nikulin surfaces (S, M, H) are of two types, that we call standard and non-standard depending on whether the lattice embedding Z[H] ⊕⊥ N ⊂ Pic S is primitive. Here H is the genus g polarization ... -
The Moho Architecture and Its Role for Isostasy—Insights From the Lofoten-Vesterålen Rifted Margin, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The crustal structure of the Nordland and Troms region, Norway, has received growing scientific attention because (a) the region is one of the most seismically active areas of mainland Norway, and (b) there are differing ... -
Moisture origin as a driver of temporal variabilities of the water vapour isotopic composition in the Lena River delta, Siberia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In the context of the Arctic amplification of climate change affecting the regional atmospheric hydrological cycle, it is crucial to characterize the present-day moisture sources of the Arctic. The isotopic composition is ... -
Molecular analyses of confiscated shark fins reveal shortcomings of CITES implementations in Germany
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A three-ton shipment of dry shark fins was examined by German customs in 2017 leading to the confiscation of 405 kg of potential CITES species. We analyzed a subsample of this material (115 specimens) using DNA sequence-based ... -
Molecular and morphological analyses reveal pseudocryptic diversity in Micromelo undatus (Brugui ere, 1792) (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Aplustridae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The genus Micromelo (family Aplustridae) occurs in almost all tropical and subtropical waters across the globe, with the exception of the Eastern Pacific. Most authors consider Micromelo undatus (Bruguière, 1792) as the ... -
Molecular and morphological analysis of the developing nemertean brain indicates convergent evolution of complex brains in Spiralia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background The brain anatomy in the clade Spiralia can vary from simple, commissural brains (e.g., gastrotrichs, rotifers) to rather complex, partitioned structures (e.g., in cephalopods and annelids). How often and in ... -
Molecular and morphological revision of Afrotropical Hypoborini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) revealed novel bark beetle taxa with narrow geographical distributions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Species in the bark beetle tribe Hypoborini Nüsslin, 1912 occur in dead twigs and branches, mainly in dry forest. The Afrotropical fauna previously included ten species in five genera. A taxonomic revision based on molecular ... -
Molecular and phenotypic characteristics influencing the degree of cytoreduction in high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the deadliest ovarian cancer subtype, and survival relates to initial cytoreductive surgical treatment. The existing tools for surgical outcome prediction remain ... -
Molecular basis for N-terminal acetylation by human NatE and its modulation by HYPK
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-02)The human N-terminal acetyltransferase E (NatE) contains NAA10 and NAA50 catalytic, and NAA15 auxiliary subunits and associates with HYPK, a protein with intrinsic NAA10 inhibitory activity. NatE co-translationally acetylates ... -
Molecular Biomarkers in Thyroid Eye Disease: A Literature Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Purpose: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is the most common extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves disease. Patients may be severely affected with eyelid retraction, exophthalmos, diplopia, pain, and threatened vision. ... -
Molecular characterisation of the first New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1-producing Acinetobacter baumannii from Tanzania
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background We aimed to characterise the genetic determinants and context of two meropenem-resistant clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from children hospitalised with bloodstream infections in Dar es ... -
The molecular characteristics of high-grade gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)High-grade (HG) gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) are rare but have a very poor prognosis and represent a severely understudied class of tumours. Molecular data for HG GEP-NEN are limited, and ... -
Molecular characterization of a large unselected cohort of metastatic colorectal cancers in relation to primary tumor location, rare metastatic sites and prognosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-10)Background: We have reported that BRAF V600E mutations and microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) are more prevalent in a population-based cohort of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients than has been reported from ... -
Molecular characterization of the myoliquefactive fish parasite kudoa mirabilis (Cnidaria, kudoidae) from se Indian Ocean and its phylogenetic relationship with the kudoa thyrsites species complex
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Myxosporean parasites of the genus Kudoa are fish parasites of great economic importance, as some species can affect the fish fillet quality by producing macroscopic cysts or generating post mortem myoliquefaction, commonly ... -
The Molecular Epidemiology of Enterovirus in a Birth Cohort in Nepal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) has a major impact on morbidity and mortality worldwide. The viral aetiology of diarrhoeal diseases may remain unknown due to limited diagnostic facilities. Non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs) are ... -
