Changes in diet and life style caused an alarming increase in the incidence of obesity, which is considered a major risk factor for the onset of the metabolic syndrome. One of the initial events in obesity is adipocyte ...
Pi Roig, Aina (Date of defense: 2018-04-06)
Tbx5 is a transcription factor expressed in the developing eyes, heart and upper limbs. Mutations in human TBX5 cause Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS), a condition characterised by heart and upper limb malformations. In zebrafish, ...
Rodríguez Escribà, Marta (Date of defense: 2020-01-21)
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are key adaptor molecules that mediate decoding of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins by complementary pairing of their anticodons with mRNA codons. tRNAs that undergo adenosine to inosine editing ...
Hereu Fina, Bernat (Date of defense: 2007-04-28)
The discipline of ecology is habitually divided up into a whole range of different specialities, and this thesis forms part of what is commonly known as "community ecology" (Diamond and Case 1986). To be more precise, my ...
Zhang, Qing (Date of defense: 2017-09-07)
Vocal learning, one of the subcomponents of language, is put at center stage in this dissertation. The overall hypothesis is that vocal learning lays the foundation for both language evolution (phylogeny) and development ...

Macrophages polarization from an inflammatory to a tolerogenic state occurs in both physiological and pathological, and this reprogramming is key in the development of several diseases as different as atherosclerosis or ...
Sanchez Moral, Lidia (Date of defense: 2019-11-22)
Multiple studies have highlighted the role of ZEB1 as critical regulator of tumor progression through the regulation of different hallmarks of cancer beyond the induction of EMT. The general aim of this dissertation is to ...
Cortés Hinojosa, Marlies (Date of defense: 2017-05-26)
ZEB1 is a transcription factor whose expression in cancer cells promotes tumor initiation and progression. In this study, we for the first time characterized Zeb1 and study its function in macrophages under either homeostasis ...
Siles Mena, Laura (Date of defense: 2017-06-01)
ZEB1 is a transcription factor best known for its role in cancer progression and metastasis. It is also expressed during embryonic development of different tissues although its function and mechanism of action have not ...
Barrios Barri, Oriol de (Date of defense: 2017-02-03)
The members of ZEB family of transcription factors (ZEB1 and ZEB2) are widely known for its role in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a highly relevant process during development and tumor progression. In this ...
