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 (Fecha de defensa: 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 ...

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 (Fecha de defensa: 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 (Fecha de defensa: 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 ...
