Maladaptive emotional memories contribute significantly to anxiety disorders. A novel strategy to treat anxiety disorders is utilizing agents that boost learning and memory mechanisms to promote long-term fear inhibition and support relapse prevention. Increasing histone acetylation, an epigenetic catalyzer of memory-enhancing gene transcription, is critical in (emotional) memory formation, and can be potentiated by histone deacetylase ...
The project aims to identify risk factors for colic in horses and to describe the gut microbiota composition in horsers with colic.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which is characterised by chronic, relapsing inflammation of the colonic mucosa. The most common clinical symptoms include bloody diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fatigue and weight loss. Conventional therapeutic options are mainly targeted at reducing the inflammatory process but are only partially successful and associated with a range of side effects. The exact patho-physiological ...
This project will focus upon the research for realization of a burst-mode electronic dispersion compensation/equalization chip. The application area is optical access networks. While over the past 10 years the bitrates for optical access networks under the form of passive optical networks (PONs) has not increased, in the last years this has changed drastically. Operators are considering various options to deploy new 5G services such as mmWave ...
