    摘要: The present invention relates to an inhibitor of mitoferrin-2 for use in treating a cancer with reduced activity of mitoferrin-1 in a subject. The present invention also relates to a method for identifying an inhibitor of mitoferrin-2 comprising (a) contacting a (i) host cell with a reduced mitoferrin-1 activity and (ii) a host cell with a non-reduced mitoferrin-1 activity with a candidate inhibitor of mitoferrin-2. (b) determining growth and/or morphology of the host cells of step (a): (c) identifying an inhibitor of mitoferrin-2 if a growth arrest and/or abnormal morphology is/are detected in step (b) in the host cell having the reduced activity of mitoferrin-1 but not in the host cell with the non-reduced activity of mitoferrin-1. The present invention further relates to a method for identifying a subject susceptible to cancer treatment by an inhibitor of mitoferrin-2, comprising (A) determining mitoferrin-1 activity in a sample of said subject, preferably a sample of cancer cells, and (B) identifying a patient susceptible to cancer treatment by an inhibitor of mitoferrin-2 based on determining step (A).

    摘要: A force measuring plate having a planar regular arrangement of force measuring cells. A force measuring cell is formed in a hole in the force measuring plate, in which hole precisely one planar element which is secured by springs in a self-supporting fashion is arranged and is oriented so as to run parallel to the force measuring plate. Each spring is connected in a materially joined fashion at a first end to the edge of a hole and at a second end to the edge of a planar element. The force measuring plate, the springs and the planar elements are formed from the same material. Each planar element can be elastically deflected in three spatial directions under the effect of a force. There is a linear relationship between the deflection and the force. In addition, the invention relates to a device for determining forces in the piconewton to nanonewton ranges.

    摘要: Methods and devices for magnified imaging of three-dimensional samples are disclosed. The methods include imaging sample sections of a sample section series using a first particle-optical device. Coordinates of the imaged sample point are acquired and stored in such a way that the coordinates of the imaged sample point can be associated with the respective image of this sample point. The method also includes selecting a volume of interest (VOI), and transmitting the coordinates of the selected VOI to a second particle-optical device. In addition, the method includes imaging the selected VOI by means of the second particle-optical device. A plurality of planes of a sample section are imaged in order to obtain a 3D image of the selected VOI.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the identification of microRNAs of the miR-148 family that are involved in the pathogenesis of chronic pulmonary diseases. The present invention relates to micro RNA of the miR-148 family selected from miR-148a, miR-148b and miR-152 for use in the diagnosis, prognosis, prevention and/or therapy of a chronic pulmonary disease. The present invention further relates to miR-148 inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such inhibitors, their use in preventing and/or treating chronic pulmonary diseases, and methods for preventing and/or treating chronic pulmonary diseases. The present invention further relates to transgenic, non-human mammals and methods for identifying modulators of miR-148 and methods for diagnosis and/or prognosis of chronic pulmonary diseases.
