Giró Paloma, Jessica (Date of defense: 2015-11-27)
The use of renewable heat decreases the consumption of fossil resources, although its usage is intermittent and usually does not match the demand. A proper thermal energy storage system design can eliminate this problem ...
Expósito Creo, Alejandro (Date of defense: 2021-02-05)
Plant resistance through grafting susceptible scions onto resistant rootstocks is an effective measure to supress root-knot nematode (RKN) populations and to reduce crop yield losses. However, the reiterative use of specific ...
Isasa Catalán, Marta (Date of defense: 2012-07-19)
Targeted protein degradation plays a central role in eukaryotic cell regulation and homeostasis. The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is involved in a large number of cellular events, being, day by day, more difficult to ...
Mora Garrido, Mabel (Date of defense: 2014-12-12)
La monitorització de l’activitat biològica en biofiltres percoladors és complexa ja que implica l’estimació de la concentració de biomassa i el rendiment de creixement. Aquestes dades no són senzilles de calcular quan ...
Martínez Pérez, Laura (Date of defense: 2020-07-09)
Seawater intrusion (SWI) causes not only salinization of coastal aquifers, but also a reduction submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and nutrient fluxes to marine ecosystems. We have developed a small scale experimental ...
Llorà Batlle, Oriol (Date of defense: 2019-12-19)
Transmission of malaria requires that some parasites abandon asexual replication and develop into sexual stages termed gametocytes. The discovery of the transcription factor PfAP2-G as the master regulator of sexual ...
López Oreja, Irene (Date of defense: 2022-03-01)
Mutations in Splicing Factor 3b Subunit 1(SF3B1) are observed in 15% of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and are associated with worse disease prognosis. SF3B1 is involved in pre-mRNA splicing and is the ...
Bassaganyas Bars, Laia (Date of defense: 2013-09-20)
Over the last ten years, improvements in molecular techniques and the arrival of the next-generation sequencing technologies have revealed a large amount of structural variation (SV) in the human genome. Consequently, there ...
Escrivà Izquierdo, María (Date of defense: 2008-06-20)
The product of the snail1 gene (SNAIL1) is a transcriptional repressor required for triggering the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). SNAIL1 transcription is induced when epithelial cells are forced to acquire a ...
Trinchero, Paolo (Date of defense: 2009-02-20)
La heterogeneidad es una característica saliente de cada formación geológica natural. En las últimas décadas un gran número de trabajos se han centrado en estudiar la influencia de la heterogeneidad en los problemas de ...
Herrero Vicente, Jorge (Date of defense: 2024-02-26)
Cancer cells exhibit a synthetic lethal (SL) phenotype when Myc upregulation is combined with antitumor drugs targeting the splicing factor SF3B1. However, the molecular events and mechanisms responsible for this vulnerability ...
Brenchat Barberà, Àlex (Date of defense: 2012-03-26)
The work showed in this Thesis has been part of the “5-HT7 and neuropathic pain” project in the pharmaceutical company Esteve. Thus, the aim of this Thesis was in line with the goal of the 5-HT7 project at Esteve, focused ...
Mirra, Serena (Date of defense: 2013-07-26)
The Armcx gene cluster arose by retrotransposition from a single Arm-containing gene (Armc10), and by subsequent short-range tandem duplications of a rapidly evolving region of the Eutherian X chromosome. In this work we ...
Tomás Hernández, Sara (Date of defense: 2017-09-07)
Els productes naturals han sigut àmpliament utilitzats per al tractament i prevenció de moltes malalties. L’objectiu principal d’aquesta tesi ha estat caracteritzar compostos naturals bioactius que podrien ser utilitzats ...
Fung Uceda, Jorge Alberto (Date of defense: 2018-10-26)
La función circadiana es esencial para el crecimiento y adaptación de las plantas a su entorno. La maquinaria molecular responsable de la generación de ritmos circadianos está basada en la expresión rítmica de genes cuyo ...
Moutinho, Cátia (Date of defense: 2014-05-23)
Although chemotherapeutic drugs are widely used in order to improve the cancer outcome, drug resistance remain the most unpredictable factor affecting chemotherapy and a major impediment to successful patient’s treatment. ...
Shoja Chaghervand, Shirin (Date of defense: 2019-07-12)
In 2015 our research group described, in P. aeruginosa, the oleate-diol synthase system which consists of two sequentially and independently enzymatic reactions: 10S-Dioxygenase (10-DOX) (PA2077) used oleic acid (as preferred ...
Urresti Ibáñez, Jorge (Date of defense: 2014-09-28)
La activación del Receptor de Muerte Fas, también llamado APO-1 o CD95, da lugar a la formación del Death Inducing Signaling Complex (DISC). Este complejo proteico contiene FADD y caspasa-8, entre otras proteínas, y causa ...
Maric, Aida (Date of defense: 2021-11-05)
The circadian clock is an endogenously generated timekeeping mechanism that generates 24-hour rhythms in multiple biological processes. The rhythmic oscillations provide an adaptive advantage, allowing organisms to anticipate ...
Moreno González, Eduardo (Date of defense: 2010-06-30)
One of the main issues in animal evolution deal with the transition from radial organisms (Cnidaria and Ctnenophora), with only one axis of symmetry, the Oral-Aboral (OA) axis, to bilateral organism (Bilateria), bearing ...
