The Matrikine PGP in Lung Diseases: A Translational Study [PDF]
, 2015 In this thesis two long conditions are investigated: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). COPD is a progressive disorder characterized by the development of airflow limitation.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Circadian regulation of human cortical excitability
Nature Communications, 2016 Cognitive performance is impaired after prolonged wakefulness, yet the contribution of circadian rhythms for proper brain function remains unclear. Here the authors show that cortical excitability measured using TMS exhibits robust circadian dynamics ...

Endocannabinoid signaling is critical for habit formation
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2007 Extended training can induce a shift in behavioral control from goal-directed actions, which are governed by action-outcome contingencies and sensitive to change in the expected value of the outcome, to habits which are less dependent on action-outcome ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Mate genetic similarity affects mating behaviour but not maternal investment in mice
Scientific Reports, 2023 Maternal investment can affect the survival and development of offspring. Here we experimentally investigated in mice, whether females alter implantation rates and pup survival after embryo transfer depending on the genetic similarity with their ...

Limitations of ex vivo measurements for in vivo neuroscience [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 Significance Understanding the physiology of noninvasive brain stimulation requires precise knowledge of biophysical properties of brain tissue (e.g., conductivities). Numerous researchers have tried to measure these properties using in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo preparations in nonhuman animals or human tissue, though findings have ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

In Vitro, Ex Vivo, and In Vivo Models for the Study of Pemphigus
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Pemphigus is a life-threatening autoimmune disease. Several phenotypic variants are part of this family of bullous disorders. The disease is mainly mediated by pathogenic autoantibodies, but is also directed against two desmosomal adhesion proteins, desmoglein 1 (DSG1) and 3 (DSG3), which are expressed in the skin and mucosae.
