Ants display a range of fascinating behaviors, a remarkable level of intra-species phenotypic plasticity and many other interesting characteristics. Here we present a new tool to study the molecular mechanisms underlying these traits: a tentatively annotat ...
Background: Proteins are the primary regulatory agents of transcription even though mRNA expression data alone, from systems like DNA microarrays, are widely used. In addition, the regulation process in genetic systems is inherently non-linear in nature, a ...
Neocortical function and malfunction depends critically on a spectrum of inhibitory interneurons. To gain novel insight in normal brain function and mechanisms leading to diseases, such as epilepsy or schizophrenia, the knowledge about the specific functio ...
Huntington's disease (HD), an inherited neurodegenerative disorder, results from an abnormal polyglutamine extension in the N-terminal region of the huntingtin protein. This mutation leads to protein aggregation and neurotoxicity. Despite its widespread ex ...
The three peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. They share a high degree of structural homology with all members of the superfamily, particularly in the D ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal, dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of a glutamine (polyQ) repeat in the huntingtin (htt) protein. The selective striatal neurodegeneration induced by this disease causes choreic in ...
Object of this work 1) Explore the feasibility of an LTCC microreactor • Chemical stability: compatible with HCl, NaOH, ... • Thermal stability to >100°C 2) Achieve a high degree of integration • Temperature measurement • Reactant flow measurement • Temper ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by an abnormal expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat in the huntingtin protein. Insulin-like growth factor-1 acting through the prosurvival kinase Akt mediates the phosphorylation of huntingtin at S421 and inhibits the t ...
Transcriptional dysregulation caused by expanded polyglutamines (polyGlns) in huntingtin (htt) may be central to cell-autonomous mechanisms for neuronal cell death in Huntington's disease (HD) pathogenesis. We hypothesized that these mechanisms may involve ...
Dopamine-induced changes in striatal gene expression are thought to play an important role in drug addiction and compulsive behaviour. In this study we report that dopamine induces the expression of the transcription factor CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein b ...
