In this thesis, single-layer graphene (SLG)-based field-effect devices were built to realize two different sensors: a pH sensor and a sensor measuring the concentration of the chemokine CXCL8 in clinical samples. CXCL8 is a signal protein that has various promising new applications in the field of disease…
Genaue, optische 3D-Messverfahren werden vielfältig in der Industrie, der Medizin und der Wissenschaft eingesetzt. Bei etlichen dieser Anwendungen ist eine schnelle Reaktion auf Veränderungen in der Messszene erforderlich. Dies ist z.B. der Fall, wenn eine Maschine aus Sicherheitsgründen abgeschaltet…
Alternative Heilmethoden erfreuen sich nicht nur bei Patient_innen, sondern auch bei vielen Ärzt_innen anhaltender Beliebtheit. Dennoch dauern die Spannungen zwischen Schulmedizin und alternativen Verfahren an, wie es sich 2019 anlässlich der Masern-Impfdebatte abermals gezeigt hat, bei der sich medizinkritische…
Gay men have been severely affected by the AIDS crisis, and gay subjectivity, sexual ethics, and politics continue to be deeply influenced by HIV to this day. PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a new, drug-based HIV prevention technique, that allows disentangling gay sex from its widespread, 40 yearlong…
This article examines two Swedish TV theater plays from the late 1960s and early 1970s, which both portray the experience of waiting for an abortion. In the early 1960s, a major debate on abortion started in Sweden, which resulted in the creation of a public inquiry into the matter in 1965 and eventually…
“Family creation under the time pressure of World War II in Germany” is a qualitative analysis of ego-documents and looks at dyadic decision making, emotions and mentalities related to creating a family during war. War did not deter people from having children, on the contrary. Rather than postpone and…
In this paper, I bring together radical early Soviet projects of transforming both reproductive bodies and productive time by focusing on the case of the female menstrual cycle. Echoing Emily Martin’s anthropological work, I examine the hidden affective economies of Soviet menstruation and place this…
Abstract The reversible addition‐fragmentation chain‐transfer (RAFT) process has become a versatile tool for the preparation of defined polymers tolerating a large variety of functional groups. Several dithioesters, trithiocarbonates, xanthates, or dithiocarbamates have been developed as effective chain…
Various bacterial species are capable of producing highly modified fatty acid derivatives with conjugated triple bonds, which play important ecological roles as antifungals and toxins in mutualistic and pathogenic interactions. Furthermore, the terminal polyyne moiety is of interest as pharmacophore…

The progression of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a major challenge in urologic oncology. However, understanding of the molecular processes remains limited. The dysregulation of IQGAP2 is becoming increasingly evident in most tumor entities, and…
Little is known about the adaptor protein FAM159B. Recently, FAM159B was shown to be particularly expressed in neuroendocrine cells and tissues, such as pancreatic islets and neuroendocrine cells of the bronchopulmonary and gastrointestinal tracts, as well as in different types of neuroendocrine tumours.…
