Coherent X-ray Imaging: Bridging the Gap between Atomic and Micro-scale Investigations
(2014)ChimiaWe present a review of state-of-the art X-ray imaging techniques based on partially coherent synchrotron radiation. Full-field X-ray tomography, X-ray ptychography, scanning small-angle X-ray scattering, and scanning transmission X-ray microscopy are imaging techniques that gather structural information at spatial resolution ranging from several microns to a few tens of nanometers in both real- and reciprocal space. These methods exploit ...Journal Article -
Characterization Of Microsatellite Loci In Lichen-Forming Fungi Of Bryoria Section Implexae (Parmeliaceae)
(2014)Applications in plant sciences• Premise of the study: The locally rare, haploid, lichen‐forming fungi Bryoria capillaris, B. fuscescens, and B. implexa are associated with boreal forests and belong to Bryoria sect. Implexae. Recent phylogenetic studies consider them to be conspecific. Microsatellite loci were developed to study population structure in Bryoria sect. Implexae and its response to ecosystem disturbances. • Methods and Results: We developed 18 polymorphic ...Journal Article -
Characterization Of Microsatellite Loci In The Himalayan Lichen Fungus Lobaria Pindarensis (Lobariaceae)
(2014)Applications in plant sciences• Premise of the study: Microsatellite loci were developed for the rare, Himalayan, endemic haploid lichen fungus, Lobaria pindarensis, to study its population subdivision and the species’ response to forest disturbance and fragmentation. • Methods and Results: We developed 18 polymorphic microsatellite markers using 454 pyrosequencing data and assessed them in 109 individuals. The number of alleles per locus ranged from three to 11 ...Journal Article -
Characterization Of Fungus-Specific Microsatellite Markers In The Lichen Fungus Usnea Subfloridana (Parmeliaceae)
(2014)Applications in plant sciences• Premise of the study: Microsatellite loci were developed for the haploid lichenized fungal species Usnea subfloridana to study its population subdivision and the species’ response to forest disturbance, fragmentation, and environmental pollution. • Methods and Results: We developed 14 polymorphic microsatellite markers using 454 pyrosequencing data of U. subfloridana. The number of alleles per locus ranged from three to 15, and Nei's ...Journal Article -

Underconnectivity of the superior temporal sulcus predicts emotion recognition deficits in autism
(2014)Social Cognitive and Affective NeuroscienceNeurodevelopmental disconnections have been assumed to cause behavioral alterations in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Here, we combined measurements of intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with task-based fMRI to explore whether altered activity and/or iFC of the right posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) mediates deficits in emotion recognition in ASD. Fifteen ...Journal Article -
Neural representation and clinically relevant moderators of individualised self-criticism in healthy subjects
(2014)Social Cognitive and Affective NeuroscienceMany people routinely criticise themselves. While self-criticism is largely unproblematic for most individuals, depressed patients exhibit excessive self-critical thinking, which leads to strong negative affects. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging in healthy subjects ( N = 20) to investigate neural correlates and possible psychological moderators of self-critical processing. Stimuli consisted of individually selected adjectives ...Journal Article -
Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, the correct scientific name for the fungus causing ash dieback in Europe
(2014)IMA FungusUnder the rules for the naming of fungi with pleomorphic life-cycles adopted in July 2011, the nomenclaturally correct name for the fungus causing the current ash dieback in Europe is determined to be Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, with the basionym Chalara fraxinea, and Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus as a taxonomic synonym of H. fraxineus.Journal Article -

In Vivo Imaging of Mouse Tumors by a Lipidated Cathepsin S Substrate
(2014)Angewandte Chemie. International EditionThe synthesis and evaluation of two cathepsin S-specific probes is described. For long-term retention of the probe at the target site and a high signal-to-noise ratio, we introduced a lipidation approach via the simple attachment of palmitoic acid to the reporter. After cathepsin S-specific cleavage in cultured cells and in a grafted tumor mouse model, fluorescence increased owing to dequenching and we observed an intracellular accumulation ...Journal Article
