Pericytes (PCs) are important regulators of the vascular development promoting vessel growth and stabilization. They have recently emerged as a therapeutic target to promote or inhibit angiogenesis. Therefore, advancing ...
[eng] Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly affects the exocrine glands and is characterized by the presence of antinuclear antibodies such as anti-Ro52 and anti-dsDNA. Our previous analysis ...
Reelin is a high molecular weight extracellular glycoprotein that exhibits key roles both in the development of the central nervous system and in adult synaptic plasticity. Reelin expression during brain development ...
It is difficult to imagine life without changes influenced by technology and innovation, which are characteristic of the era in which we live, with changes that, albeit always present throughout the history of mankind, are ...
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory processes that affect the gastrointestinal tract. IBD is characterized by an intestinal inflammation and epithelial cell injury leading to a poor psychosocial ...
Chromatin compaction is regulated by different factors, among them histone posttranslational modifications. There are different histone modifications, and among them, acetylation and methylation of lysine residues. Acetylation ...
Hoy en día es difícil imaginar nuestra vida sin las Tecnologías de la Información (TI), de hecho, las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) juegan un papel muy importante en casi todas las organizaciones públicas ...
Biological diversity in a global scale has been threaten seriously by anthropogenic disturbances in ecosystems. Changes in land cover and land use affect biodiversity, causing habitat loss and species extinction, or ...

Role of TGFβ in physiological angiogenesis and ovarian cancer Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGFβ) is a signalling pathway involved in a wide range of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, ...
The cell cycle is orchestrated by the periodic activation of Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). The enzymatic activity of CDKs depends on their association with cyclins, however, in some cases these kinases can be activated ...
Obesity prevalence has tripled in the last fifty years. For this reason, it is considered the pandemic of the century. It is characterized by the accumulation of metabolic abnormalities triggered by an increase in the size ...
A successful cell renewal, which occurs throughout the life of an organism, relies on multiple events, including proliferation and differentiation of progenitor cell populations, and death of unnecessary cells. Out of the ...
During neural development, signaling molecules and networks of expressed transcription factors cooperate to control cellular fate. Chromatin acting factors are essential players in cell proliferation and differentiation ...
In the eukaryotic cell nucleus, DNA is tightly wrapped around histone complexes, forming a dynamic structure known as chromatin. The nucleosome particle is the basic repeating unit of the chromatin fiber and its protein ...
Transportome alterations have been associated with oncogenesis. The loss of human Concentrative Nucleoside Transporter 1 (hCNT1) during carcinogenesis seems to be a relatively common event in tumors and might by itself ...
[eng] Sjögren Syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects the exocrine glands, most notably the salivary and lacrimal glands, although it can affect other mucosal surfaces. Inflammation at these sites leads to ...
This thesis project is focused on the study of the signaling module formed by the NIMA-related protein Nek6, Nek7, and Nek9 and their function during early mitosis, with particular interest in centrosome separation and ...
[spa] La familia de las NADPH oxidasas ha emergido en los últimos años como una importante fuente de producción de radicales libres de oxígeno (ROS), los cuáles juegan un papel fundamental en situaciones fisiológicas y ...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are short-lived, highly electrophilic molecules generated by the partial reduction of oxygen to form superoxide, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical as well as other secondary metabolites. ...
