Crystal and solution structure of NDRG1, a membranebinding protein linked to myelination and tumour suppression
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) is a tumour suppressor involved in vesicular trafficking and stress response. NDRG1 participates in peripheral nerve myelination, and mutations in the NDRG1 gene lead to ... -
Crystal and solution structures reveal oligomerization of individual capsid homology domains of Drosophila Arc
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Synaptic plasticity is vital for brain function and memory formation. One of the key proteins in long-term synaptic plasticity and memory is the activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc). Mammalian Arc forms ... -
Crystal structure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa FabB C161A, a template for structure-based design for new antibiotics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: FabB (3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase 1) is part of the fatty acid synthesis II pathway found in bacteria and a potential target for antibiotics. The enzyme catalyses the Claisen condensation of ... -
Crystallographic home-source X-ray data for the atomic-resolution experimental phasing of the Shank3 SH3 domain structure from pseudomerohedrally twinned crystals
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10)By far most macromolecular crystallographic data collection and experimental phasing is nowadays carried out using synchrotron radiation. Here, we present two crystallographic datasets collected on a home-source X-ray ... -
The Culture Dish Surface Influences the Phenotype and Cytokine Production of Human Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-02)Monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC) are an important scientific and clinical source of functional dendritic cells (DC). However, the optimization of the generation process has to date mainly been limited to the variation ... -
Cuprizone and EAE mouse frontal cortex proteomics revealed proteins altered in multiple sclerosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Two pathophysiological different experimental models for multiple sclerosis were analyzed in parallel using quantitative proteomics in attempts to discover protein alterations applicable as diagnostic-, prognostic-, or ... -
Current landscape and future perspectives in preclinical MR and PET imaging of brain metastasis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Brain metastasis (BM) is a major cause of cancer patient morbidity. Clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) represent important resources to assess tumor progression and treatment ... -
Cuticle integrity and biogenic amine synthesis in Caenorhabditis elegans require the cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03-24)Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is the natural cofactor of several enzymes widely distributed among eukaryotes, including aromatic amino acid hydroxylases (AAAHs), nitric oxide synthases (NOSs), and alkylglycerol monooxygenase ... -
Cyanobacteria from terrestrial and marine sources contain apoptogens able to overcome chemoresistance in acute myeloid leukemia cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-03)In this study, we investigated forty cyanobacterial isolates from biofilms, gastropods, brackish water and symbiotic lichen habitats. Their aqueous and organic extracts were used to screen for apoptosis-inducing activity ... -
Cyclic AMP can promote APL progression and protect myeloid leukemia cells against anthracycline-induced apoptosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)We show that cyclic AMP (cAMP) elevating agents protect blasts from patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) against death induced by first-line anti-leukemic anthracyclines like daunorubicin (DNR). The cAMP effect ... -
Cytokines - possible biomarkers for headache syndromes, with special reference to migraine
(Master thesis, 2011-05-31)Background: The trigeminovascular theory suggests that neurogenic inflammation and cytokines play an important role in migraine pathophysiology. Previous studies have linked different cytokines to migraine pathogenesis, ... -
Dactolisib (NVP-BEZ235) toxicity in murine brain tumour models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-19)Background: Glioblastomas (GBMs) are highly malignant brain tumours with a poor prognosis, and current cytotoxic regimens provide only a limited survival benefit. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway has been an attractive target for ... -
Deciphering the complex role of thrombospondin-1 in glioblastoma development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-08)We undertook a systematic study focused on the matricellular protein Thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying the role of THBS1 in glioblastoma (GBM) development. THBS1 was found to be increased ... -
Decoding cancer's camouflage: epithelialmesenchymal plasticity in resistance to immune checkpoint blockade
(Journal article, 2020)Epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) of cancer cells contributes to cancer cell heterogeneity, and it is well established that EMP is a critical determinant of acquired resistance to cancer treatment modalities including ... -
Deficit of homozygosity among 1.52 million individuals and genetic causes of recessive lethality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Genotypes causing pregnancy loss and perinatal mortality are depleted among living individuals and are therefore difficult to find. To explore genetic causes of recessive lethality, we searched for sequence variants with ... -
Degradation of Extracellular NAD+ Intermediates in Cultures of Human HEK293 Cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-29)Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential redox carrier, whereas its degradation is a key element of important signaling pathways. Human cells replenish their NAD contents through NAD biosynthesis from ... -
Deletion of Notch3 Impairs Contractility of Renal Resistance Vessels Due to Deficient Ca2+ Entry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Notch3 plays an important role in the differentiation and development of vascular smooth muscle cells. Mice lacking Notch3 show deficient renal autoregulation. The aim of the study was to investigate the mechanisms involved ... -
Dendritic cells in Sjögren's syndrome-functional analyses
(Master thesis, 2009-06-02)Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by chronic inflammation of the exocrine glands which leads to dryness of the mouth and eyes. Dendritic cells (DC) are the most potent ... -
