The olefin ED-ROMP of an olefin/disulfide containing 16-atom macrocycle using the 3rd generation Grubbs catalyst was examined in greater detail. Kinetic studies revealed that the catalyst turned inactive during the polymerization, which limited the achievable (apparent) polymer molar mass to similar to 70 kg mol(-1). Such limitation could be overcome with the disulfide ED-ROMP of the same macrocycle to yield polymers with molar masses of up to 180 kg mol(-1). The step-growth polymerizations of acyclic diene and dithiol monomers via olefin metathesis or oxidation were far less effective and yielded just low molar mass polymers or oligomers; photopolymerization of a thiol-ene monomer produced a polyester with a molar mass of 35 kg mol(-1).}, language = {en} } @article{RudolphSchmeerGuentheretal.2021, author = {Rudolph, Max and Schmeer, Christian and G{\"u}nther, Madlen and Woitke, Florus and Kathner-Schaffert, Carolin and Karapetow, Lina and Lindner, Julia and Lehmann, Thomas and Jirikowski, Gustav and Witte, Otto W. and Redecker, Christoph and Keiner, Silke}, title = {Microglia-mediated phagocytosis of apoptotic nuclei is impaired in the adult murine hippocampus after stroke}, series = {Glia}, volume = {69}, journal = {Glia}, number = {8}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0894-1491}, doi = {10.1002/glia.24009}, pages = {2006 -- 2022}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Following stroke, neuronal death takes place both in the infarct region and in brain areas distal to the lesion site including the hippocampus. The hippocampus is critically involved in learning and memory processes and continuously generates new neurons. Dysregulation of adult neurogenesis may be associated with cognitive decline after a stroke lesion. In particular, proliferation of precursor cells and the formation of new neurons are increased after lesion. Within the first week, many new precursor cells die during development. How dying precursors are removed from the hippocampus and to what extent phagocytosis takes place after stroke is still not clear. Here, we evaluated the effect of a prefrontal stroke lesion on the phagocytic activity of microglia in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus. Three-months-old C57BL/6J mice were injected once with the proliferation marker BrdU (250 mg/kg) 6 hr after a middle cerebral artery occlusion or sham surgery. The number of apoptotic cells and the phagocytic capacity of the microglia were evaluated by means of immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, and 3D-reconstructions. We found a transient but significant increase in the number of apoptotic cells in the DG early after stroke, associated with impaired removal by microglia. Interestingly, phagocytosis of newly generated precursor cells was not affected. Our study shows that a prefrontal stroke lesion affects phagocytosis of apoptotic cells in the DG, a region distal to the lesion core. Whether disturbed phagocytosis might contribute to inflammatory- and maladaptive processes including cognitive impairment following stroke needs to be further investigated.}, language = {en} } @book{ZhangPlauthEberhardtetal.2020, author = {Zhang, Shuhao and Plauth, Max and Eberhardt, Felix and Polze, Andreas and Lehmann, Jens and Sejdiu, Gezim and Jabeen, Hajira and Servadei, Lorenzo and M{\"o}stl, Christian and B{\"a}r, Florian and Netzeband, Andr{\´e} and Schmidt, Rainer and Knigge, Marlene and Hecht, Sonja and Prifti, Loina and Krcmar, Helmut and Sapegin, Andrey and Jaeger, David and Cheng, Feng and Meinel, Christoph and Friedrich, Tobias and Rothenberger, Ralf and Sutton, Andrew M. and Sidorova, Julia A. and Lundberg, Lars and Rosander, Oliver and Sk{\"o}ld, Lars and Di Varano, Igor and van der Walt, Est{\´e}e and Eloff, Jan H.

Its mission is to enable and promote exchange and interaction between the research community and the industry partners. The HPI Future SOC Lab provides researchers with free of charge access to a complete infrastructure of state of the art hard and software. This infrastructure includes components, which might be too expensive for an ordinary research environment, such as servers with up to 64 cores and 2 TB main memory. The offerings address researchers particularly from but not limited to the areas of computer science and business information systems. Main areas of research include cloud computing, parallelization, and In-Memory technologies. This technical report presents results of research projects executed in 2017. Selected projects have presented their results on April 25th and November 15th 2017 at the Future SOC Lab Day events.}, language = {en} }
