Kidney Segmentation in Renal Magnetic Resonance Imaging - Current Status and Prospects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Magnetic resonance imaging has achieved an increasingly important role in the clinical work-up of renal diseases such chronic kidney disease (CKD). A large panel of parameters have been proposed to diagnose CKD among them ... -
Kinetic and oligomeric study of Leishmania braziliensis nicotinate/ nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential coenzyme involved in REDOX reactions and oxidative stress defense systems. Furthermore, NAD is used as substrate by proteins that regulate essential cellular functions ... -
Lack of collagen XVIII leads to lipodystrophy and perturbs hepatic glucose and lipid homeostasis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Liver and adipose tissues play important roles in the regulation of systemic glucose and lipid metabolism. Extracellular matrix synthesis and remodelling are significantly altered in these tissues in obesity and type 2 ... -
Lack of functional normalisation of tumour vessels following anti-angiogenic therapy in glioblastoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Neo-angiogenesis represents an important factor for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to a growing tumour, and is considered to be one of the main pathodiagnostic features of glioblastomas (GBM). Anti-angiogenic therapy ... -
The laminin response in inflammatory bowel disease: Protection or malignancy?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-27)Laminins (LM), basement membrane molecules and mediators of epithelial-stromal communication, are crucial in tissue homeostasis. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) are multifactorial pathologies where the microenvironment ... -
Leukocyte transmigration into tissue-engineered constructs is influenced by endothelial cells through Toll-like receptor signaling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-20)Introduction Inflammation plays a crucial role in tissue regeneration, wound healing, and the success of tissue-engineered constructs. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of human umbilical vein endothelial ... -
Lipopolysaccharide induces filtrate leakage from renal tubular lumina into the interstitial space via a proximal tubular Toll-like receptor 4–dependent pathway and limits sensitivity to fluid therapy in mice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-16)Sustained oliguria during fluid resuscitation represents a perplexing problem in patients undergoing therapy for septic acute kidney injury. Here, we tested whether lipopolysaccharide induces filtrate leakage from the ... -
LncRNAs Predicted to Interfere With the Gene Regulation Activity of miR-637 and miR-196a-5p in GBM
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Rigorous molecular characterization of biological systems has uncovered a variety of gene variations underlying normal and disease states and a remarkable complexity in the forms of RNA transcripts that exist. A recent ... -
Long-term consumption of an obesogenic high fat diet prior to ischemia-reperfusion mediates cardioprotection via Epac1-dependent signaling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-11-28)Background: Obesity is still considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, although more recent knowledge also suggests obesity to be associated with reduced morbidity and mortality - the “obesity paradox”. This ... -
Long-term treatment with valganciclovir improves lentiviral suicide gene therapy of glioblastoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Suicide gene therapy for malignant gliomas has shown encouraging results in the latest clinical trials. However, prodrug application was most often restricted to short-term treatment (14 days), especially when ... -
Loss of COPZ1 induces NCOA4 mediated autophagy and ferroptosis in glioblastoma cell lines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Dysregulated iron metabolism is a hallmark of many cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM). However, its role in tumor progression remains unclear. Herein, we identified coatomer protein complex subunit zeta 1 (COPZ1) as a ... -
Loss or mislocalization of aquaporin-4 affects diffusion properties and intermediary metabolism in gray matter of mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01)The first aim of this study was to determine how complete or perivascular loss of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channels affects membrane permeability for water in the mouse brain grey matter in the steady state. Time-dependent ... -
Lowering of tumor interstitial fluid pressure reduces tumor cell proliferation in a xenograft tumor model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-02)High tumor interstitial fluid pressure (TIFP) is a characteristic of most solid tumors. TIFP may hamper adequate uptake of macromolecular therapeutics in tumor tissue. In addition, TIFP generates mechanical forces affecting ... -

Machine learning applications in proteomics research: How the past can boost the future
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Machine learning is a subdiscipline within artificial intelligence that focuses on algorithms that allow computers to learn solving a (complex) problem from existing data. This ability can be used to generate a solution ... -
Mammalian CSAD and GADL1 have distinct biochemical properties and patterns of brain expression
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11)Variants in the gene encoding the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase like 1 (GADL1) have been associated with response to lithium therapy. Both GADL1 and the related enzyme cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) have ... -
A map of metabolic phenotypes in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disease usually presenting after infection. Emerging evidence supports that energy metabolism is affected in ME/CFS, but a unifying metabolic ... -
