Adult Neurogenesis and Olfactory Sensory Neuron Regeneration

Olfactory sensory neurons are among the few nerve cells that are in direct and unprotected contact with the chemical environment. This unusual situation makes them vulnerable to injury and environmental insult by chemical stressors, toxicants, and pathogens. As a consequence, olfactory sensory neurons have a limited life span and only survive for for a few weeks after they are born.

Novel NLR Proteins and Their Functions in Immune Privilige and Tolerance

The human Nod-like Receptor (NLR) family has been discovered within the last decade and studies on its 23 members have been rapidly accumulating. Among the members with defined functions NOD1 and NOD2 have been shown to detect bacteria specific macromolecular components, namely parts of peptidoglycan, once they have reached the cytoplasm.

Cell Type Specification During Eye Development

A fundamental problem common to the development of most sensory systems is the generation of functionally distinct neuronal cell types. The visual system constitutes a unique model to study the generation of cellular diversity within an otherwise homogeneous neuronal population.
