Cathepsin K (CatK) is a target for the treatment of osteoporosis, arthritis, and bone metastasis. Peptidomimetics with a cyanohydrazide warhead represent a new class of highly potent CatK inhibitors; however, their binding mechanism is unknown. We investigated two model cyanohydrazide inhibitors with differently positioned warheads: an azadipeptide nitrile Gü1303 and a 3-cyano-3-aza-β-amino acid Gü2602. Crystal structures of their covalent complexes were determined with mature CatK as well as a zymogen-like activation intermediate of CatK. Binding mode analysis, together with quantum chemical calculations, revealed that the extraordinary picomolar potency of Gü2602 is entropically favoured by its conformational flexibility at the nonprimed-primed subsites boundary. Furthermore, we demonstrated by live cell imaging that cyanohydrazides effectively target mature CatK in osteosarcoma cells. Cyanohydrazides also suppressed the maturation of CatK by inhibiting the autoactivation of the CatK zymogen. Our results provide structural insights for the rational design of cyanohydrazide inhibitors of CatK as potential drugs.

A Fourier scatterometry setup is evaluated to recover the key parameters of optical phase gratings. Based on these parameters, systematic errors in the printing process of two photon polymerization (TPP) gray-scale lithography 3d printers can be compensated, namely tilt and curvature deviations. The proposed setup is significantly cheaper than a confocal microscope, which is usually used to determine calibrations parameters for compensation of the TPP printing process. The grating parameters recovered this way are compared to those obtained with a confocal microscope. A clear correlation between confocal and scatterometric measurements is first shown for structures containing either tilt or curvature. The correlation is also shown for structures containing a mixture of tilt and curvature errors (squared Pearson coefficient $r^2$ = 0.92). This new compensation method is demonstrated on a TPP printer: A diffractive optical element (DOE) printed with correction parameters obtained from Fourier scatterometry shows a significant reduction in noise as compared to the uncompensated system. This verifies the successful reduction of tilt and curvature errors. Further improvements of the method are proposed, which may enable the measurements to become more precise than confocal measurements in the future, since scatterometry is not affected by the diffraction limit.

p53 is a crucial regulator of cell response to DNA damage. MDM4 and MDM2 are the two main negative regulators of p53 activity. Upon DNA damage, their constraint is released and p53 becomes activated and exerts its safeguard function by arresting cell growth or by killing excessively damaged cells. Under these conditions, increasing data suggest that MDM4 and MDM2 play novel roles. In this respect, we recently published that MDM4 exerts a positive activity towards p53 mitochondrial apoptosis. We observed that a fraction of MDM4 stably localizes at the mitochondria where upon lethal stress conditions, promotes the mitochondrial localization of p53 phosphorylated at Ser46 (p53Ser46(P)) and facilitates its binding to BCL2, cytochrome C release and apoptosis. Most importantly, we observed a correlation of MDM4 expression with cisplatin-resistance in a group of human ovarian cancers suggesting that MDM4 proapoptotic activity may have in vivo relevance. Here, we discuss about these and some new findings and compare them with previous data trying to settle some apparent contradictions. In addition, this review discusses the potential relevance of our data to the field of human cancer.

Introduction of Matrix-Filler Adhesion to Modelling of Elastic Moduli of Particulate Composites
(2022)
Cube in cube elementary volume (EV) concept serves to predict a filler-content dependent Young´s moduli of particle filled composites using moduli of a matrix EM and a filler EF. Paul and Ishai-Cohen derived formulas for composites moduli considering different load transfer boundaries in the EV assuming a complete filler-matrix adhesion. In this paper it is confirmed that their models represent the upper and lower bounds, respectively, with the respect to the experimental data. However, in vast majority of composites a filler-matrix adhesion is not complete. Therefore, an adhesion factor kadh gaining values between 0 and 1 was introduced into Paul´s model to consider the reduced adhesion as the reduction of the filler-matrix contact area for glass beads filled in polar and unpolar thermoplastic matrices as well as elastomer. The evaluation of these composite systems provides reasonable adhesion coefficients of PA66 > PBT > PP > PE-LD >> BR. It was also found that stiffening only occurs if kadh exceeds the minimum value adhesion of root square of E(M) divided by E(F). The determined kadh correspond to scanning electron microscopy observations of the composites fracture surfaces. Additionally, finite element analysis of the cubic and hexagonal arrangements of the EV show that the stress distributions are different, but they affect the calculated moduli only for the filler volume contents exceeding 20 %. The introduction of the filler-matrix adhesion provides more reliable predictions of Young´s moduli of particulate composites.
The cube in cube approach was used by Paul and Ishai-Cohen to model and derive formulas for filler content dependent Young´s moduli of particle filled composites assuming perfect filler matrix adhesion. Their formulas were chosen because of their simplicity, recalculated using an elementary volume approach which transforms spherical inclusions to cubic inclusions. The EV approach led to expression for the composites moduli that allow for introducing an adhesion factor kadh ranging from 0 and 1 to take into account none perfect reduced filler matrix adhesion. This adhesion factor scales the edge length of the cubic inclusions, thus, reducing the stress transfer area between matrix and filler. Fitting the experimental data with the modified Paul model provides reasonable kadh for PA66, PBT, PP, PE-LD and BR which are in line with their surface energies. Further analysis showed that stiffening only occurs if kadh exceeds <span class="math-tex">\( { \ \sqrt{E^M/E^F} \ }\) and depends on the ratio of matrix modulus and filler modulus. The modified model allows for a quick calculation of any particle filled composites for known matrix modulus EM, filler modulus EF, filler volume content vF and adhesion factor kadh. Thus, finite element analysis (FEA) simulations of any particle filled polymer parts as well as materials selection are significantly eased. FEA of cubic and hexagonal EV arrangements show that stress distributions within the EV exhibit more shear stresses if one deviates from the cubic arrangement. At high filler contents the assumption that the property of the EV is representative for the whole composite, holds only for filler volume contents up to 15 or 20 % (corresponding to 30 to 40 weight %). Thus, for vast majority of commercially available particulate composites, the modified model can be applied. Furthermore, this indicates that the cube in cube approach reaches two limits: i) the occurrence of increasing shear stresses at filler contents above 20 % due to deviations of EV arrangements or spatial filler distribution from cubic arrangements (singular), and ii) increasing interaction between particles with the formation of particle network within the matrix violating the EV assumption of their homogeneous dispersion.
Modern Monte-Carlo-based rendering systems still suffer from the computational complexity involved in the generation of noise-free images, making it challenging to synthesize interactive previews. We present a framework suited for rendering such previews of static scenes using a caching technique that builds upon a linkless octree. Our approach allows for memory-efficient storage and constant-time lookup to cache diffuse illumination at multiple hitpoints along the traced paths. Non-diffuse surfaces are dealt with in a hybrid way in order to reconstruct view-dependent illumination while maintaining interactive frame rates. By evaluating the visual fidelity against ground truth sequences and by benchmarking, we show that our approach compares well to low-noise path traced results, but with a greatly reduced computational complexity allowing for interactive frame rates. This way, our caching technique provides a useful tool for global illumination previews and multi-view rendering.

Im Rahmen der Forschungsprojekte FeGeb und SPAI wurden bei zahlreichen Probanden Hautproben an mehreren Stellen des Gesichts, sowie der Arme und Hände, mit einem Nahinfrarot-Spektrometer (NIR, auch „Short Wave Infrared“, SWIR) erfasst und die Gesichter der Probanden zusätzlich mit einer hochwertigen Farb-Kamera, sowie einem selbst entwickelten multispektralen NIR-Kamerasystem aus mehreren Perspektiven aufgenommen. Vorrangiges Ziel dieser Messreihe war es, die Robustheit des an der Hochschule entwickelten Verfahrens zur berührungslosen Hauterkennung mittels multispektraler Nahinfrarotsensorik nachzuweisen. Haut ist im nahinfraroten Spektralbereich unabhängig von Geschlecht, Alter und Hauttyp sehr gut von anderen Materialien unterscheidbar. Weiterhin konnte mit Hilfe der so aufgenommenen Daten ein Klassifikator trainiert werden, der auch „Fälschungen“ wie beispielsweise Latexmasken zuverlässig von echter Haut unterscheiden kann.
