Nach einem knappen Überblick über die Geschichte des Buches im 3. Reich werden bislang wenig oder gar unbekannte Fälle von Bücherfälschung, Bücherverfolgung, Bücherwahn und Bücherflut beschrieben. Die Rede ist von Versuchen, ...
Immunreaktionen können der Entstehung von Tumoren entgegenwirken indem sie Tumorzellen eliminieren. Eine Ursache für unkontrolliertes Tumorwachstum ist unzureichende Einwanderung von Immunzellen in das Tumormicroenvironment. ...
The vertebrate sensory system is enabled to differentiate between a vast variety of sensory information under different behavioral and environmental conditions. The required flexibility is provided by complex brain functions ...
Cells need to coordinate their metabolism with the cell division cycle to survive un der changing nutrient conditions. In eukaryotic cells, nutrient signalling is integrated into the cell cycle during the cell cycle ...
The planktonic freshwater filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 (syn.
Trichormus variabilis) grows as filaments of hundreds of cells and is capable of differentiating
nitrogen fixing heterocysts, ...
IκBζ belongs to the group of atypical NF-κB inhibitors (IκBs). In contrast to classical
