I am thankful for Prof. Dr. Thomas Wiegert, whose valuable advices and discussions helped
me a lot throughout my working process. Many thanks are due to Prof. Dr. Olaf Stemmann and
PD. Dr. Stefan Heidmann for providing facilities for my study. My special thanks also go to
Markus Hermann for his help in working with microscope and FACS.
My sincere thanks go to Prof. Dr. Junehyung Kim in Dong-A University, Busan, South Korea
for his valuable advices and friendly help.
I would like to thank Karin Angermann and Petra Helies for their valuable assistance and
making a warm atmosphere in the Lab. I would like to thank all the lab members of Prof.
Stemmann and Dr. Heidmann for their help in experiments and discussions.
Special thanks are due to Derrick and Thierry (Ù) for the critical reading of my thesis
manuscript.
My deepest appreciations are due to all my colleagues: Hu, Kelly and Kati for their numerous
advices, the friendly cooperation and for making my stay in Bayreuth unforgettable. Special
thanks go to Dr. Markus Helfrich for his considerable suggestions and discussions.
I would like to thank my dear friends ch Trinh, ch Hưng, Minh and my other country-mates
for their support and inestimable friendship. My deepest thanks and gratitude go to Seungchul,
