New biosensors and transgenic mice for multiplex cGMP imaging

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a versatile second messenger that is important for human (patho‐)physiology and pharmacotherapy. Live‐cell imaging of cGMP with biosensors allows to elucidate its spatiotemporal dynamics in real time under close‐to‐native conditions. However, to monitor two separate cGMP pools or cGMP/cAMP

3,4‐Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) does not induce robust psychomotor activation and 50‐kHz ultrasonic vocalisations in tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (Tph2)‐deficient rats lacking serotonin in the central nervous system

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose 3,4‐Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), commonly known as ecstasy, is a psychostimulant with entactogenic properties and known to induce arousal and euphoria. As an amphetamine derivate, MDMA acts on the monoamine systems in the brain and stimulates release of dopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NA) and serotonin (5‐HT), yet their ...

Assessing the performance of Moghani crossbred lambs derived from different mating systems with Texel and Booroola sheep.

PLoS ONE
In our ongoing project, which focuses on the introgression of Booroola/FecB gene and the myostatin (MSTN) gene into purebred Moghani sheep, we assessed the performance of second-generation Moghani crossbreds such as second crossbreds (F2) and initial ...

Limited roles of the miR‐17‐92 cluster in the regulation of T‐cell apoptosis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The pro‐apoptotic protein BIM shapes T‐cell survival and function, but how it is regulated remains unclear. In a mouse model lacking direct miR‐17‐92:Bim interactions, we observed a moderate reduction in Th17 CD4+ T cells. BIM levels were modestly increased in double‐positive thymocytes and naive CD8+ T cells, but this did not affect overall T‐cell ...

Energetic stress in combination with impaired fatty acid oxidation induces sequestration of CoA and adaptation of CoA metabolism

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Computational modelling and in vitro liver cell experiments indicate that medium‐chain acyl‐CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency causes an accumulation of (especially medium‐chain) acyl‐CoAs at the cost of free CoA (CoASH). A substantial decrease in CoASH impairs flux through many pathways essential for energy homeostasis.

Contemporary intergeneric hybridization and backcrossing among birds-of-paradise

Evolution Letters
Abstract Despite large differences in morphology, behavior and lek-mating strategies the birds-of-paradise are known to hybridize occasionally, even across different genera. Many of these bird-of-paradise hybrids were originally described as distinct species based on large morphological differences when compared to recognized species ...

A new species of jewel‐babbler (Cinclosomatidae: Ptilorrhoa) from the Southern Fold Mountains of Papua New Guinea

Ibis, EarlyView.
Based on distinctive morphological and vocal characters we describe a new species of jewel‐babbler (genus Ptilorrhoa) from the forested karst of the Southern Fold Mountains in Papua New Guinea. The description is based on camera trap data and is presented in accordance with ICZN Declaration 45.
