[eng] Deep Learning (DL) has gained traction in the last years thanks to the exponential increase in compute power. New techniques and methods are published at a daily basis, and records are being set across multiple ...
Trastuzumab-emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-cytotoxic agent (DM1) conjugated drug. DM1 delivery by trastuzumab inside the HER2 positive cells affects microtubule polymerization, cell cycle arrest and finally cell death. ...
[spa] La terapia actual contra la mayoría de los cánceres está basada en el uso de agentes que dañan el ADN, como la quimioterapia o la radioterapia, que erradican las células tumorales proliferantes. Desafortunadamente, ...
[eng] For this purpose, Spatial Analysis of Functional Enrichment (SAFE) framework was proposed to uncover functional regions in a network by embedding it in 2-dimensions (2D) using the Spring embedding algorithm. However, ...
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women and it represents the most common cause of cancer-‐related death in women worldwide1. Advances in early detection, prevention, risk stratification, and therapeutic ...
Iris Murdoch es una escritora inglesa que tuve el diagnostico de la Enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) confirmado sea por exámenes clínicos o por el diagnostico histológico post mortem. Por esta razón sus libros se tornaron una ...
This thesis presents a theoretical and computational approach to the accurate description of magnetic exchange interactions in a variety of complex systems. These include two main families of compounds. The first family ...
Aneuploidy, defined as a chromosome number that deviates from a multiple of the haploid set, is a common feature in human cancer, and around 70% of human solid tumours are aneuploid. The resulting metabolic imbalance is ...
Infant and child mortality have played a crucial role in health transition patterns and both have been considered as good indicators of development and demographic modernization. The establishment of the Millennium Development ...
Evolutionary Biology offers a set of methods and theories to elucidate the evolutionary processes that lead to the diversification of life. With the development of sequencing technologies, the access to genetic data has ...
The Industry 4.0 revolution is undergoing a profound transformation due to the unstoppable digitalization of our society. This historic dynamic is characterised by hyperconnectivity, where the Technosphere, the natural ...
In an increasingly competitive world driven by fast changes, where resources are limited and where stakeholders are more and more demanding, societies, from individuals to companies and governments, are challenged to pursue ...
Animal migration is an amazing widespread phenomenon that forms an essential component of the animal life history. Animals usually migrate to take advantages of changes in resource availability in space and time or to find ...
[eng] Our knowledge on the molecular basis behind physiological angiogenesis has significantly expanded in the last two decades. This progress also led to improvement in understanding of many vascular-related diseases in ...
The guiding theme of this thesis is the empirical analysis of recent food price behavior. It is composed of three applied studies that address the impacts of energy prices on both food price levels and volatility, as well ...
The degradation of natural diversity results in the erosion of key systemic properties such as resilience, or the capacity to recover from disturbances. Resilience loss leads to an increase in the fragility and vulnerability ...
Understanding the mechanisms and processes driving biological com- munities assembly, i.e. determining why a specific community is found under certain circumstances, is one of the fundamental questions in ecology. The ...
Understanding the connection between DNA organization in the nucleus, and cell functioning is one of the most intriguing problems in biology. Although many interdisciplinary efforts have been developed for this aim, the ...
[eng] Atmospheric aerosol particles are key for regulating Earth’s atmosphere processes, and are estimated to present an overall cooling effect on the Earth’s climate. Given the current climate change crisis, and the need ...
Obesity prevalence is higher in Down syndrome (DS) than in the general population. Beyond metabolic alterations, individuals with DS present increased impulsivity, a trait observed in obese people and in compulsive eaters ...
