These objectives are strongly motivated by two recent important discoveries, namely: (1) the high-energy astrophysical neutrino signal reported by IceCube and (2) the sizable contribution of electron neutrinos to the third neutrino mass eigenstate as reported by Daya Bay, Reno and others. To meet these objectives, the KM3NeT Collaboration plans to build a new Research Infrastructure consisting of a network of deep-sea neutrino telescopes in the Mediterranean Sea. A phased and distributed implementation is pursued which maximises the access to regional funds, the availability of human resources and the synergistic opportunities for the Earth and sea sciences community. Three suitable deep-sea sites are selected, namely off-shore Toulon (France), Capo Passero (Sicily, Italy) and Pylos (Peloponnese, Greece). The infrastructure will consist of three so-called building blocks. A building block comprises 115 strings, each string comprises 18 optical modules and each optical module comprises 31 photo-multiplier tubes. Each building block thus constitutes a three-dimensional array of photo sensors that can be used to detect the Cherenkov light produced by relativistic particles emerging from neutrino interactions. Two building blocks will be sparsely configured to fully explore the IceCube signal with similar instrumented volume, different methodology, improved resolution and}, language = {en} } @article{BousquetAntoAkdisetal.2016, author = {Bousquet, J. and Anto, J.

MeDALL has linked epidemiological, clinical and basic research using a stepwise, large-scale and integrative approach: MeDALL data of precisely phenotyped children followed in 14 birth cohorts spread across Europe were combined with systems biology (omics, IgE measurement using microarrays) and environmental data. Multimorbidity in the same child is more common than expected by chance alone, suggesting that these diseases share causal mechanisms irrespective of IgE sensitization. IgE sensitization should be considered differently in monosensitized and polysensitized individuals. Allergic multimorbidities and IgE polysensitization are often associated with the persistence or severity of allergic diseases. Environmental exposures are relevant for the development of allergy-related diseases. To complement the population-based studies in children, MeDALL included mechanistic experimental animal studies and in vitro studies in humans. The integration of multimorbidities and polysensitization has resulted in a new classification framework of allergic diseases that could help to improve the understanding of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of allergy as well as to better manage allergic diseases. Ethics and gender were considered.

Approximately 45\% of U.S. patients with incident end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have DKD. Independent of glycemic control, DKD aggregates in families and has higher incidence rates in African, Mexican, and American Indian ancestral groups relative to European populations. The Family Investigation of Nephropathy and Diabetes (FIND) performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) contrasting 6,197 unrelated individuals with advanced DKD with healthy and diabetic individuals lacking nephropathy of European American, African American, Mexican American, or American Indian ancestry. A large-scale replication and trans-ethnic meta-analysis included 7,539 additional European American, African American and American Indian DKD cases and non-nephropathy controls. Within ethnic group meta-analysis of discovery GWAS and replication set results identified genome-wide significant evidence for association between DKD and rs12523822 on chromosome 6q25.2 in American Indians (P = 5.74x10\(^{-9}\)). The strongest signal of association in the trans-ethnic meta-analysis was with a SNP in strong linkage disequilibrium with rs12523822 (rs955333; P = 1.31x10\(^{-8}\)), with directionally consistent results across ethnic groups. These 6q25.2 SNPs are located between the SCAF8 and CNKSR3 genes, a region with DKD relevant changes in gene expression and an eQTL with IPCEF1, a gene co-translated with CNKSR3. Several other SNPs demonstrated suggestive evidence of association with DKD, within and across populations. These data identify a novel DKD susceptibility locus with consistent directions of effect across diverse ancestral groups and provide insight into the genetic architecture of DKD.}, language = {en} } @article{UlrichsNoethlingKelleretal.1987, author = {Ulrichs, Karin and N{\"o}thling, R. and Keller, R. and Heusermann, U. and M{\"u}ller-Buchholtz, W.}, title = {Genetically determined variation of constitutive major histocompatibility complex class II antigen expression in various rat strains and cell types}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-44769}, year = {1987}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Chirurgie}, language = {en} } @article{UlrichsKellerMuellerRuchholtz1985, author = {Ulrichs, Karin and Keller, R. and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {Serological demonstration and manipulation of passenger cells (PC) in pancreas islet grafts}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-72944}, year = {1985}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Immunobiologie}, language = {en} } @article{UlrichsSchangKelleretal.1984, author = {Ulrichs, Karin and Schang, T. and Keller, R. and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {Reactivity of pancreas islet cells with antisera of known specificity}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-45466}, year = {1984}, abstract = {No abstract available}, language = {en} } @article{RostMuellerKelleretal.2014, author = {Rost, Simone and M{\"u}ller, Elisabeth and Keller, Alexander and Fregin, Andreas and M{\"u}ller, Clemens R.}, title = {Confirmation of warfarin resistance of naturally occurring VKORC1 variants by coexpression with coagulation factor IX and in silico protein modelling}, doi = {10.1186/1471-2156-15-17}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-110095}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Background VKORC1 has been identified some years ago as the gene encoding vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) - the target protein for coumarin derivates like warfarin or phenprocoumon. Resistance against warfarin and other coumarin-type anticoagulants has been frequently reported over the last 50 years in rodents due to problems in pest control as well as in thrombophilic patients showing variable response to anticoagulant treatment. Many different mutations have already been detected in the VKORC1 gene leading to warfarin resistance in rats, mice and in humans. Since the conventional in vitro dithiothreitol (DTT)-driven VKOR enzymatic assay often did not reflect the in vivo status concerning warfarin resistance, we recently developed a cell culture-based method for coexpression of VKORC1 with coagulation factor IX and subsequent measurement of secreted FIX in order to test warfarin inhibition in wild-type and mutated VKORC1. Results In the present study, we coexpressed wild-type factor IX with 12 different VKORC1 variants which were previously detected in warfarin resistant rats and mice. The results show that amino acid substitutions in VKORC1 maintain VKOR activity and are associated with warfarin resistance. When we projected in silico the amino acid substitutions onto the published three-dimensional model of the bacterial VKOR enzyme, the predicted effects matched well the catalytic mechanism proposed for the bacterial enzyme. Conclusions The established cell-based system for coexpression of VKORC1 and factor IX uses FIX activity as an indicator of carboxylation efficiency. This system reflects the warfarin resistance status of VKORC1 mutations from anticoagulant resistant rodents more closely than the traditional DTT-driven enzyme assay. All mutations studied were also predicted to be involved in the reaction mechanism.}, language = {en} } @article{UlrichsKellerMuellerRuchholtz1986, author = {Ulrichs, Karin and Keller, R. and M{\"u}ller-Ruchholtz, W.}, title = {Vorkommen und Manipulation von MHC Klasse II Antigenen auf Zellen isolierter Langerhans-Inseln}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-45499}, year = {1986}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Langerhans-Inseln}, language = {de} } @article{BeningSalesAlhussinietal.2021, author = {Bening, Constanze and Sales, Virna L. and Alhussini, Khaled and Radakovic, Dejan and Cris Benitez, R. and Madrahimov, Nodir and Keller, Daria M. and Leyh, Rainer}, title = {Clinically inapparent right heart dysfunction is associated with reduced myofilament force development in coronary artery disease}, series = {BMC Cardiovascular Disorders}, volume = {21}, journal = {BMC Cardiovascular Disorders}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1186/s12872-021-01926-6}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-259213}, pages = {125}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Background Right ventricular dysfunction after CABG is associated with poor peri- and postoperative outcomes. We aimed to identify clinical and experimental predictors for preoperative inapparent right ventricular dysfunction and therefore hypothesized that reduced myofilament force development as well as altered levels of biomarkers might predict inapparent right ventricular dysfunction. Methods From 08/2016 to 02/2018, 218 patients scheduled for CABG were divided into two groups (TAPSE ≥ 20 mm, n = 178; TAPSE < 20 mm, n = 40). Baseline serum samples for biomarkers (Galectin, TGFß1, N Acyl-SDMA, Arginine, ADMA and Pentraxin-3), clinical laboratory and transthoracic echocardiographic parameters were evaluated. To examine the myocardial apparatus of the right ventricle intraoperative right auricular tissue was harvested for stepwise skinned fiber force measurements. Results Patients with TAPSE < 20 mm had a higher incidence of DM (55 vs. 34\%, p = 0.018), preoperative AFib (43 vs. 16\%, p < 0.001), reduced GFR (67 ± 18 vs. 77 ± 24 ml/min/1.73 m\(^2\), p = 0.013), larger LA area (22 ± 6 vs. 20 ± 5 cm\(^2\), p = 0.005) and reduced LVEF (50 vs. 55\%, p = 0.008). Furthermore, higher serum ADMA (0.70 ± 0.13 vs. 0.65 ± 0.15 µmol/l, p = 0.046) and higher serum Pentraxin-3 levels (3371 ± 1068 vs. 2681 ± 1353 pg/dl, p = 0.004) were observed in these patients. Skinned fiber force measurements showed significant lower values at almost every step of calcium concentration (pCa 4.52 to pCa 5.5, p < 0.01 and pCa 5.75-6.0, p < 0.05).
