Linking axonal degeneration to microtubule remodeling by Spastin-mediated microtubule severing

Mutations in the AAA adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) Spastin (SPG4) cause an autosomal dominant form of hereditary spastic paraplegia, which is a retrograde axonopathy primarily characterized pathologically by the degeneration of long spinal neurons in the corticospinal tracts and the dorsal columns. Using recombinant Spastin, we find that six mutant forms of Spastin, including three disease-...

Introduction The utilisation of food additives becomes more and more important. The red seaweed hydrocolloids agar-agar, carrageenan and furcelleran which are the cell wall polysaccharides and construct differently with a variable amount linked groups are used as a food additive. Red algae belong to the class Rhodophyceae. Agar-agar or short agar, carrageenan and furcelleran are part of the emu...

Introduction to De Rham Cohomology

We briefly review differential forms on manifolds. We prove homotopy invariance of cohomology, the Poincaré lemma and exactness of the Mayer–Vietoris sequence. We then compute the cohomology of some simple examples. Finally, we prove Poincaré duality for orientable manifolds.
