Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias are hereditary neurodegenerative disorders that are
known as spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) in genetic nomenclature. In the pregenomic era, …

Microbial communities are at the heart of all ecosystems, and yet microbial community behavior
in disturbed environments remains difficult to measure and predict. Understanding the …

In this review we selectively summarize recent progress, primarily from our laboratory, in the
development of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysis on well‐defined surfaces. …

The concepts and technical realisation of the high-resolution soft X-ray beamline ADRESS
operating in the energy range from 300 to 1600 eV and intended for resonant inelastic X-ray …

Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a cytokine whose bioactivity is controlled by activation of the
inflammasome. However, in response to lipopolysaccharide, human monocytes secrete IL-1β …

We fabricated field-effect transistors based on individual single- and multi-wall carbon
nanotubes and analyzed their performance. Transport through the nanotubes is dominated by …

Protein structure homology modelling has become a routine technique to generate 3D models
for proteins when experimental structures are not available. Fully automated servers such …

… for unequal variance), an unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction was performed. Statistical
analyses of normalized data were performed using a one-sample t-test. All data calculations …

The SwissFEL X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) facility started construction at the Paul Scherrer
Institute (Villigen, Switzerland) in 2013 and will be ready to accept its first users in 2018 …

Inflammasomes are high molecular weight protein complexes that assemble in the cytosol
upon pathogen encounter. This results in caspase-1-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokine …
