The EndoPredict Gene-Expression Assay in Clinical Practice - Performance and Impact on Clinical Decisions

2013

The validated EndoPredict assay is a novel tool to predict the risk of metastases of patients with estrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer treated with endocrine therapy alone. It has been designed to integrate genomic and clinical information and includes clinico-pathological factors such as tumor size and nodal status. The test is feasible in a decentral setting in molecular pathology laboratories. In this project, we investigated the performance of this test in clinical practice, and performed a retrospective evaluation of its impact on treatment decisions in breast cancer. During one year, EndoPredict assays from 167 patients could be successfully performed. For retrospe…

The Monomeric Alanediyl : AlAr i Pr8 (Ar i Pr8 = C 6 H-2,6-(C 6 H 2 -2,4,6-Pr i 3 ) 2 -3,5-Pr i 2 ): An Organoaluminum(I) Compound with a One-Coordin…

The Monomeric Alanediyl : AlAriPr8 (AriPr8 = C6H-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-Pri3)2-3,5-Pri2) : An Organoaluminum(I) Compound with a One-Coordinate Aluminum Atom

2020

Reduction of the aluminum iodide AlI2AriPr8 (1; AriPr8 = C6H-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-Pri3)2-3,5-Pri2) with 5% w/w Na/NaCl in hexanes gave a dark red solution from which the monomeric alanediyl :AlAriPr8 (2) was isolated in ca. 28% yield as yellow-orange crystals. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by X-ray crystallography, electronic and NMR spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations. The Al atom in 2 is one-coordinate, and the compound displays two absorptions in its electronic spectrum at 354 and 455 nm. It reacts with H2 under ambient conditions to give the aluminum hydride {AlH(μ-H)AriPr8}2, probably via a weakly bound dimer of 2 as an intermediate. peerReviewed

Proton Leakage Is Sensed by IM30 and Activates IM30-Triggered Membrane Fusion

2020

The inner membrane-associated protein of 30 kDa (IM30) is crucial for the development and maintenance of the thylakoid membrane system in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. While its exact physiological function still is under debate, it has recently been suggested that IM30 has (at least) a dual function, and the protein is involved in stabilization of the thylakoid membrane as well as in Mg2+-dependent membrane fusion. IM30 binds to negatively charged membrane lipids, preferentially at stressed membrane regions where protons potentially leak out from the thylakoid lumen into the chloroplast stroma or the cyanobacterial cytoplasm, respectively. Here we show in vitro that IM30 membrane binding…
