The aim of tissue engineering is to regenerate tissue for the purpose of repairing or replacing diseased or injured tissue. Therefore, cells that are able to proliferate are seeded on scaffolds that provide mechanical stability and direct the three-dimensi ...
Protease-sensitive macromolecular prodrugs have attracted interest for bio-responsive drug delivery to sites with up-regulated proteolytic activities such as inflammatory or cancerous lesions. Here we report the development of a novel polymeric photosensit ...
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most abundant class of proteins in the cell body. Such receptors are of major interest as potential therapeutic targets. Downscaling and parallelization of bioanalytics opens novel routes to rapidly screen and id ...
Renewed interest in the measurement of cellular K+ effluxes has been prompted by the observation that potassium plays an active and important role in numerous key cellular events, in particular cell necrosis and apoptosis. Although necrosis and apoptosis f ...
Max-Planck Institute, Hans-Knoll-Str. 8, D-07745 Jena, Germany. The cytotoxicity of several saturated and unsaturated marine diatom-derived aldehydes and an oxo-acid have been screened in vitro and in vivo against different organisms, such as bacteria, alg ...
This contribution reports on the synthesis of hyperbranched polylysines via thermal polymerization of L-lysine hydrochloride. Polymerization of L-lysine hydrochloride in the presence of one equivalent KOH at 150°C resulted in polymers with a number-average ...
Manganese (Mn) toxicity in humans has been observed as manganism, a disease that resembles Parkinson's disease. The mechanism of Mn toxicity and the chemical forms that may be responsible for its neurotoxicity are not well understood. We examined the toxic ...
The conjugation of peptides/proteins and synthetic polymers is a useful strategy to overcome some of the limitations related to the use of the individual components. This review will highlight two aspects: enhanced structural control at the nanometer level ...
Tetrachloroethene (PCE) is a major groundwater pollutant as a result of extensive use and spillage since 80 years. Several obligate anaerobic bacteria have the ability of using chlorinated aliphatic compounds as terminal electron acceptor in a process call ...
Cell membrane receptors and ion channels are essential in many different cellular processes. To analyse the activity of membrane proteins in vesicles and biological cells, we fabricated micro- nanostructured chips, enabling the application of electrophysio ...
