  abstract  = {The narrow escape theory (NET) predicts the escape time distribution of Brownian particles confined to a domain with reflecting borders except for one small window. Applications include molecular activation events in cell biology and biophysics. Specifically, the mean first passage time τ can be analytically calculated from the size of the domain, the escape window, and the diffusion coefficient of the particles. In this study, we systematically tested the NET in a disc by variation of the escape opening. Our model system consisted of micro-patterned lipid bilayers. For the measurement of τ, we imaged diffusing fluorescently-labeled lipids using single-molecule fluorescence microscopy. We overcame the lifetime limitation of fluorescent probes by re-scaling the measured time with the fraction of escaped particles. Experiments were complemented by matching stochastic numerical simulations. To conclude, we confirmed the NET prediction in vitro and in silico for the disc geometry in the limit of small escape openings, and we provide a straightforward solution to determine τ from incomplete experimental traces.},

  abstract  = {The treatment landscape in multiple myeloma (MM) is shifting from genotoxic drugs to immunotherapies. Monoclonal antibodies, immunoconjugates, T-cell engaging antibodies and CART cells have been incorporated into routine treatment algorithms, resulting in improved response rates. Nevertheless, patients continue to relapse and the underlying mechanisms of resistance remain poorly understood. While Impaired death receptor signaling has been reported to mediate resistance to CART in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, this mechanism yet remains to be elucidated in context of novel immunotherapies for MM. Here, we describe impaired death receptor signaling as a novel mechanism of resistance to T-cell mediated immunotherapies in MM. This resistance seems exclusive to novel immunotherapies while sensitivity to conventional anti-tumor therapies being preserved in vitro. As a proof of concept, we present a confirmatory clinical case indicating that the FADD/BID axis is required for meaningful responses to novel immunotherapies thus we report impaired death receptor signaling as a novel resistance mechanism to T-cell mediated immunotherapy in MM.},

We detail the chronological order of the parasites' development in the skin by single-cell RNA sequencing and find a rapid activation of metacyclic trypanosomes and differentiation to proliferative parasites. Here we show that after the establishment of a proliferative population, the parasites enter a reversible quiescent state characterized by slow replication and a strongly reduced metabolism.

  abstract  = {Im Zentrum der Arbeit stehen als zwei Werke der hochmittelalterlichen Moraldidaxe: der ‚Welsche Gast' sowie die in zeitlicher N{\"a}he entstandenen ‚Winsbeckischen Gedichte'. Bei aller formalen Unterschiedlichkeit der Texte werden sie dadurch geeint, dass sie sowohl m{\"a}nnliches als auch weibliches Verhalten thematisieren, wobei der ‚Welsche Gast' in seiner Herren- und F{\"u}rstenlehre auch ein {\"a}lteres Publikum anspricht, w{\"a}hrend sich die Hofzucht des ‚Welschen Gasts' sowie ‚Winsbecke' und ‚Winsbeckin' auf heranwachsende Adlige beschr{\"a}nken. Ziel ist es, die Konstruktion von Geschlecht aufzudecken, wobei Analysemethoden der modernen sozialphilosophischen Forschung zum Einsatz kommen. Michel Foucault bietet mit seiner Diskursanalyse ein probates Mittel, gesellschaftliche Zust{\"a}nde und die Konstruktion von Identit{\"a}ten aufzudecken. Die amerikanische Philosophin Judith Butler greift bei ihren {\"U}berlegungen zur Konstruktion von Geschlecht unter anderem auf Foucault zur{\"u}ck und zeigt auf, welche Mechanismen bei der Gestaltung geschlechtlicher Identit{\"a}ten wirksam werden. Die Verkn{\"u}pfung moderner Theorie mit mittelalterlicher Moraldidaxe erweist sich insofern als fruchtbar und sinnvoll, als gerade mittelalterliche (und - diskursiv tradiert - auch {\"a}ltere) Vorstellungen von Geschlecht bzw. rollenad{\"a}quatem Verhalten ihren Niederschlag noch in moderner Ratgeberliteratur (z. B. M{\"a}dchenerziehungsschriften der 1950er Jahre) finden. So kann als Mittel der Analyse auf die von Judith Butler inspirierte Gendertheorie zur{\"u}ckgegriffen werden kann, ohne die Gegebenheiten der mittelalterlichen Literatur und die Restriktionen der Gattung zu vernachl{\"a}ssigen. Zu diesem Zweck werden in der Arbeit - anders als bislang {\"u}blich - die Gesamttexte (und nicht nur besonders auff{\"a}llige ‚Stellen' der Didaxen) hinsichtlich der in ihnen enthaltenen Bilder von Weiblichkeit bzw. M{\"a}nnlichkeit formal und inhaltlich untersucht. Beim ‚Welschen Gast werden zudem die zahlreichen Visualisierungen in die Einzelanalysen und bei den ‚Winsbeckischen Gedichten' nicht nur der an M{\"a}nner und der an Frauen gerichtete Teil, sondern auch die Parodie des Winsbecken miteinbezogen. Nach einer ausf{\"u}hrlichen Kl{\"a}rung der theoretischen und literaturwissenschaftlichen Voraussetzungen (Gender und Genderforschung, Performativit{\"a}t und Performanz, lehrhafte Dichtung im Mittelalter) wird das Korpus nach den Gesichtspunkten • Redeverhalten • K{\"o}rperverhalten • Emotionales Verhalten, Tugenden und Laster untersucht und die Ergebnisse in einem Schlußkapitel zusammengefasst. Die Studie kn{\"u}pft an das Interesse der feministischen Literaturwissenschaft an, ber{\"u}cksichtigt aber das geschlechter{\"u}bergreifende Genderkonzept und w{\"u}rdigt im Sinne eines close reading explizit den literarischen Charakter der Texte (strukturelle Performativit{\"a}t) sowie den symbolischen der Abbildungen. Im Ergebnis k{\"o}nnen Spielr{\"a}ume der grunds{\"a}tzlich an patriarchaler Hierarchie und st{\"a}ndischer Stabilit{\"a}t orientierten Gattung im Hinblick auf die Genderfrage ausgemacht werden, die Ausbr{\"u}che aus den vorgegebenen und damit intelligiblen Rahmungen erm{\"o}glichen (z.B. bei den verwendeten Metaphern), aber auch ‚R{\"u}ckschritte' demonstrierten (z.B. bei der in einzelnen Illustrationen erkennbaren, im begleitenden Text aber nicht nachweisbaren Misogynie). Dennoch wird ein m{\"a}nnlicher Blick auf eine Welt deutlich, in der die Frau meist als schm{\"u}ckendes Beiwerk fungiert, deren Handlungsmacht sich auf das ‚H{\"a}usliche' beschr{\"a}nkt. Raumanmaßung steht nur M{\"a}nnern offen, wobei der Radius der Handelnden von Alter und Stand beschr{\"a}nkt wird.},

  abstract  = {Human prosociality, encompassing generosity, cooperation, and volunteering, holds a vital role in our daily lives. Over the last decades, the question of whether prosociality undergoes changes over the adult lifespan has gained increased research attention. Earlier studies suggested increased prosociality in older compared to younger individuals. However, recent meta-analyses revealed that this age effect might be heterogeneous and modest. Moreover, the contributing factors and mechanisms behind these age-related variations remain to be identified. To unravel age-related differences in prosociality, the first study of this dissertation employed a meta-analytical approach to summarize existing findings and provide insight into their heterogeneity by exploring linear and quadratic age effects on self-reported and behavioral prosociality. Additionally, two empirical research studies investigated whether these age-related differences in prosociality were observed in real life, assessed through ecological momentary assessment (Study 2), and in a controlled laboratory setting by applying a modified dictator game (Study 3). Throughout these three studies, potential underlying behavioral and computational mechanisms were explored. The outcome of the meta-analysis (Study 1) revealed small linear age effects on prosociality and significant age group differences between younger and older adults, with higher levels of prosociality in older adults. Explorative evidence emerged in favor of a quadratic age effect on behavioral prosociality, indicating the highest levels in midlife. Additionally, heightened prosocial behavior among middle-aged adults was observed compared to younger adults, whereas no significant differences in prosocial behavior were noted between middle-aged and older adults. Situational and contextual features, such as the setting of the study and specific paradigm characteristics, moderated the age-prosociality relationship, highlighting the importance of the (social) context when studying prosociality. For Study 2, no significant age effect on real-life prosocial behavior was observed. However, evidence for a significant linear and quadratic age effect on experiencing empathy in real life emerged, indicating a midlife peak. Additionally, across all age groups, the link between an opportunity to empathize and age significantly predicted real-life prosocial behavior. This effect, indicating higher levels of prosocial behavior when there was a situation possibly evoking empathy, was most pronounced in midlife. Study 3 presented age differences in how older and younger adults integrate values related to monetary gains for self and others to make a potential prosocial decision. Younger individuals effectively combined both values in a multiplicative fashion, enhancing decision-making efficiency. Older adults showed an additive effect of values for self and other and displayed increased decision-making efficiency when considering the values separately. However, among older adults, individuals with better inhibitory control were better able to integrate information about both values in their decisions. Taken together, the findings of this dissertation offer new insights into the multi-faceted nature of prosociality across adulthood and the mechanisms that help explain these age-related disparities. While this dissertation observed increasing prosociality across the adult lifespan, it also questions the assumption that older adults are inherently more prosocial. The studies highlight midlife as a potential peak period in social development but also emphasize the importance of the (social) context and that different operationalizations might capture distinct facets of prosociality. This underpins the need for a comprehensive framework to understand age effects of prosociality better and guide potential interventions.},

  abstract  = {In vitro models mimic the tissue-specific anatomy and play essential roles in personalized medicine and disease treatments. As a sophisticated manufacturing technology, 3D printing overcomes the limitations of traditional technologies and provides an excellent potential for developing in vitro models to mimic native tissue. This thesis aims to investigate the potential of a high-resolution 3D printing technology, melt electrowriting (MEW), for fabricating in vitro models. MEW has a distinct capacity for depositing micron size fibers with a defined design. In this thesis, three approaches were used, including 1) extending the MEW polymer library for different biomedical applications, 2) developing in vitro models for evaluation of cell growth and migration toward the different matrices, and 3) studying the effect of scaffold designs and biochemical cues of microenvironments on cells. First, we introduce the MEW processability of (AB)n and (ABAC)n segmented copolymers, which have thermally reversible network formulation based on physical crosslinks. Bisurea segments are combined with hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) or hydrophilic poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) (PPO-PEG-PPO) segments to form the (AB)n segmented copolymers. (ABAC)n segmented copolymers contain all three segments: in addition to bisurea, both hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments are available in the same polymer chain, resulting in tunable mechanical and biological behaviors. MEW copolymers either support cells attachment or dissolve without cytotoxic side effects when in contact with the polymers at lower concentrations, indicating that this copolymer class has potential in biological applications. The unique biological and surface properties, transparency, adjustable hydrophilicity of these copolymers could be beneficial in several in vitro models. The second manuscript addresses the design and development of a melt electrowritten competitive 3D radial migration device. The approach differs from most of the previous literature, as MEW is not used here to produce cell invasive scaffolds but to fabricate an in vitro device. The device is utilized to systematically determine the matrix which promotes cell migration and growth of glioblastoma cells. The glioblastoma cell migration is tested on four different Matrigel concentrations using a melt electrowritten radial device. The glioblastoma U87 cell growth and migration increase at Matrigel concentrations 6 and 8 mg mL-1 In the development of this radial device, the accuracy, and precision of melt electrowritten circular shapes were investigated. The results show that the printing speed and design diameter are essential parameters for the accuracy of printed constructs. It is the first instance where MEW is used for the production of in vitro devices. The influence of biochemical cues and scaffold designs on astrocytes and glioblastoma is investigated in the last manuscript. A fiber comprising the box and triangle-shaped pores within MEW scaffolds are modified with biochemical cues, including RGD and IKVAV peptides using a reactive NCO-sP(EO-stat-PO) macromer. The results show that astrocytes and glioblastoma cells exhibit different phenotypes on scaffold designs and peptide-coated scaffolds.},

In einem zweiten Schritt sollte die Formulierung gegen{\"u}ber kommerziell erh{\"a}ltlichen Knochenzementen durch die Materialpr{\"u}fung im Druckversuch und mithilfe eines biomechanischen Testmodells evaluiert werden. Die Vorversuche offenbarten die Nachteile der konventionellen, wasserbasierten Magnesiumphosphatzementformulierung bei der in-situ-Implantataugmentation: „Filter Pressing" und eine unpassende Viskosit{\"a}t limitierten die Anwendung. Erst die Formulierung als vorgemischte Magnesiumphosphat-Paste mit Propan-1,2,3,-triol als Bindemittel verbesserte die Injizierbarkeit und erm{\"o}glichte eine verl{\"a}ssliche in-situ- Implantataugmentation.

  abstract  = {Far more women than men like to watch sad films, and far more men than women use video-based pornography. Do sex-affiliated biological-evolutionary influences cause these apparent differences, are they caused by social-cultural ones associated with gender, or do these dimensions interact? In the first step of this thesis, the Integrative Model for Sex/Gender Differences was thoroughly discussed and substantially revised. The model subsumed the current state of knowledge in psychology, which is based on wrong assumptions or outdated knowledge. In the second chapter, the Revised Integrative Model for Sex/Gender Differences yielded a theoretical guide to drive an extensive literature review for studies that used biological- evolutionary variables to predict sex/gender differences in media selection, use, and effects. In the study process, a large number of 6231 study titles and, if these appeared promising, abstracts were assessed for eligibility. In sum, only 39 studies were discovered that were attached to the topics of the revised integrative model and briefly outlined. Topics researched were as broad as exploring the potential of online dating advertisements to evaluate Sexual Strategies Theory and assess neuronal sex differences that affect video game and website use. The following chapter dealt with biopsychosocial predictor variables of pornography use, which appeared to be strongly affected by biological-evolutionary variables like the sex drive. The last empirical chapter assessed predictor variables for sad film use, which were social-culturally driven variables, such as the masculine gender role affecting the use of sad films. Men are taught that the sadness a sad film induces in them is not a socially desirable emotion to experience for them. Therefore, they like to watch sad films less in the first place. The final discussion highlighted that in line with recent acknowledgments in psychology science, human behavior can only be sufficiently explained if nature and nurture approaches for research are combined.},

  abstract  = {Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a method that measures orbital and band structure contrast through the momentum distribution of photoelectrons. Its simplest interpretation is obtained in the plane-wave approximation, according to which photoelectrons propagate freely to the detector. The photoelectron momentum distribution is then essentially given by the Fourier transform of the real-space orbital. While the plane-wave approximation is remarkably successful in describing the momentum distributions of aromatic compounds, it generally fails to capture kinetic-energy-dependent final-state interference and dichroism effects. Focusing our present study on quasi-freestanding monolayer graphene as the archetypical two-dimensional (2D) material, we observe an exemplary E\(_{kin}\)-dependent modulation of, and a redistribution of spectral weight within, its characteristic horseshoe signature around the \(\bar {K}\) and \(\bar {K´}\) points: both effects indeed cannot be rationalized by the plane-wave final state. Our data are, however, in remarkable agreement with ab initio time-dependent density functional simulations of a freestanding graphene layer and can be explained by a simple extension of the plane-wave final state, permitting the two dipole-allowed partial waves emitted from the C 2p\(_z\) orbitals to scatter in the potential of their immediate surroundings. Exploiting the absolute photon flux calibration of the Metrology Light Source, this scattered-wave approximation allows us to extract E\(_{kin}\)-dependent amplitudes and phases of both partial waves directly from photoemission data. The scattered-wave approximation thus represents a powerful yet intuitive refinement of the plane-wave final state in photoemission of 2D materials and beyond.},
