T1 - The natriuretic peptides ANP, BNP and CNP stimulate the communication between pericytes and endothelial cells during physiological angiogenesis. N2 - Sowohl der ANP und BNP bindende Guanylylzyklase-A-Rezeptor, als auch der CNP bindende Guanylylzyklase-B-Rezeptor auf den die Endothelzellen ummantelnden Perizyten sind für eine normale postnatale Gefäßentwicklung in der Netzhaut der Maus von entscheidender Bedeutung. Eine perizytenspezifische Deletion der Guanylylzyklase-Rezeptoren führt in Mäusen zu einer signifikanten Verminderung der postnatalen Ausdehnung sowie der Dichte des Gefäßnetzes. Dies ist nicht auf eine Verminderung der Bedeckung des Endothels durch Perizyten zurückzuführen. Weiterhin geht diese Rezeptordeletion mit einer geschlechterunabhängigen Erhöhung des systolischen Blutdrucks einher. Die intrazelluläre Weiterleitung, des durch die natriuretischen Peptide ausgelösten cGMP-Signals erfolgt über die cGMP-abhängige Proteinkinase Typ I (cGKI). N2 - Both the ANP- and BNP-binding guanylyl cyclase A receptor and the CNP-binding guanylyl cyclase B receptor on pericytes lining endothelial cells are crucial for a normal postnatal vascular development in the mouse retina. A pericyte-specific deletion of the guanylyl cyclase receptors in mice leads to a significant reduction in the postnatal extent and density of the vascular plexus. This reduction is not caused by a reduced pericyte-coverage of the endothelium. Furthermore, the deletion of this receptor is associated with a gender-independent increase in systolic blood pressure. The intracellular transmission of the cGMP signal triggered by the natriuretic peptides takes place via the cGMP-dependent protein kinase type I (cGKI).

Using common spectroscopic methods, however, it is challenging to discriminate one-exciton dynamics from multi-exciton interactions that arise when more than one excitation is present in the system. Here we introduce a coherent two-dimensional spectroscopic method that provides a signal only in case that the presence of one exciton influences the behavior of another one. Exemplarily, we monitor exciton diffusion by annihilation in a perylene bisimide-based J-aggregate. We determine quantitatively the exciton diffusion constant from exciton–exciton-interaction 2D spectra and reconstruct the annihilation-free dynamics for large pump powers. The latter enables for ultrafast spectroscopy at much higher intensities than conventionally possible and thus improves signal-to-noise ratios for multichromophore systems; the former recovers spatio–temporal dynamics for a broad range of phenomena in which exciton interactions are present.
