Spätantike Bildungstraditionen im Umkreis des Klosters von Lerinum. Die Kompendienwerke des Eucherius von Lyon

Dieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers (De Gruyter) frei zugänglich.This article tries to contextualize the often neglected exegetical handbooks of Eucherius of Lyons in the late antique christian debates on pagan culture and education within a monastic context. It is intended to show that Eucherius and his short manuals represent the point of view of the famous aristocratic monastery of Lerinum in southern Gaul which was orientated towards the keeping of ecclesiastical tradition. Together with other writings they imparted to younger aristocrats the necessary knowledge to become a bishop or to take on an ecclesiastical function.Peer Reviewe

Feines Weizenmehl und ungenießbare Spelzen. Gregors des Großen Wertschätzung augustinischer Theologie

Dieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw. Nationallizenz frei zugänglich.This article tries to examine the way in which Gregory the Great made use of some topics of his admired model Augustine within his own world towards the end of the sixth century under the emperor Justinian and his successors. It is intended to show that Gregory's handling of the Augustinian theology is not a simplification for the uneducated of the early Middle Ages but quite a sophisticated application and further development for those people who read and knew the important writings of the great Augustine.Peer Reviewe

MicroRNAs MiR-17, MiR-20a, and MiR-106b Act in Concert to Modulate E2F Activity on Cell Cycle Arrest during Neuronal Lineage Differentiation of USSC

MicroRNAs are short (∼22 nt) non-coding regulatory RNAs that control gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Here the functional impact of microRNAs on cell cycle arrest during neuronal lineage differentiation of unrestricted somatic stem cells from human cord blood (USSC) was analyzed./M transition. Most strikingly, miR-17, -20a, and -106b were found to promote cell proliferation by increasing the intracellular activity of E2F transcription factors, despite the fact that miR-17, -20a, and -106b directly target the transcripts that encode for this protein family./S transition
