Aggregation of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide to form oligomers and amyloid fibrils is a central event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This thesis aims to provide a better understanding of Aβ toxicity and the ...
Brambilla Pisoni, Cecilia (Data de defensa: 2022-02-11)
Auricular transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (atVNS) is an evolving non-invasive neuromodulation technology, which is under investigation for therapeutic applications, including cognitive improvement. In this thesis, ...
Carreras Sureda, Amado (Data de defensa: 2014-07-17)
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have pointed out ORMDL3 gene as a risk factor for several proinflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of transmembrane proteins of ...
Reymond, Loïc (Data de defensa: 2023-09-20)
This thesis introduces SIMPLE (Structured Illumination based Point Lo- calization Estimator), a novel super-resolution technique in fluorescence microscopy. By combining standing-wave patterned illumination with single-molecule ...
Chacón Cabrera, Alba (Data de defensa: 2016-09-20)
Cachexia and muscle deconditioning, which are the major comorbidities in patients with chronic diseases including lung cancer (LC), impair disease prognosis. Several biological mechanisms are involved in these two muscle ...
Herráiz Yebes, Alba (Data de defensa: 2014-01-31)
In the present thesis we studied the effects of hydric stress in the ovary of the cockroach Blattella germanica. At morphological level, we described ovarian resorption induced by water deprivation. At a molecular level, ...
Sleep Ronquillo, Eduard (Data de defensa: 2010-06-30)
In contrast to mammals, zebrafish do have the ability to regenerate their heart after injury. A better understanding of how regenerationcompetent species do so should help developing strategies to enhance human cardiac ...
Martínez Barriocanal, Agueda (Data de defensa: 2009-04-16)
En los últimos años hemos sido testigos de la identificación de múltiples familias de receptores inmunológicos. En este contexto encontramos la recientemente descrita familia IREM/CD300 localizada en la región cromosómica ...
Kessler, Roman (Data de defensa: 2014-06-03)
Unlike characteristic HP1 proteins, the HP1c isoform of Drosophila melanogaster is a euchromatic protein. HP1c forms a complex with the zinc finger proteins ROW and WOC, which are crucial for HP1c function. In the present ...
Dumbović, Gabrijela (Data de defensa: 2017-01-12)
DNA hypomethylation of repeats has been found in almost every tumor type studied. Hypomethylation of repetitive elements was shown to increase the likelihood of homologous recombination of these repeated sequences and thus ...
Raspopovic, Jelena (Data de defensa: 2014-10-28)
Aquesta tesi es centra en la identificació de les molècules de la xarxa de Turing que controla el patró dels dits en l'extremitat del ratolí. L’especificació dels dits ha estat explicada a la llum del model de Positional ...
Ballana Guix, Ester (Data de defensa: 2007-05-04)
La seqüenciació del genoma humà ha marcat una fita important en la història de la biologia. Com a conseqüència, la genètica i la genòmica han experimentat un progrés enorme. Això ha permès un millor coneixement tant de les ...
Rodríguez Torrecillas, Ivan (Data de defensa: 2015-12-14)
ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters are involved in translocate a wide spectrum of molecules across the lipid bilayer and some of them are associated with various diseases. They also have an important role in multidrug ...
Pareja Gómez, Josep (Data de defensa: 2010-11-22)
Pluripotent cells are unique due to their developmental potential and the possibility to study them is the key step to understand human development. These cells are characterized by their ability to originate all the ...
Blanco Ares, Gonzalo (Data de defensa: 2017-12-01)
The analysis of the microenvironment in CLL-like monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis (MBL) and early-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is relevant for understanding the natural history of CLL. To this end, a total of ...
Garcia-Elias Heras, Anna (Data de defensa: 2011-06-30)
TRPV4 is a non-selective cation channel with a wide expression and multiple cellular and systemic functions. Described initially as an osmosensor, it can also be activated by temperature and cell swelling. Due to this ...
Elshaer, Nashwa Ahmed Ali Mohammed (Data de defensa: 2015-03-16)
The present work aims at establishing the first bases for studying the insect oocyte polarity in a phylogenetically basal species, the cockroach Blattella germanica. Our approach was to choose some genes that have been ...
Castro Arnau, Júlia (Data de defensa: 2023-10-23)
The molecular mechanisms regulating sperm differentiation (spermiogenesis) and maturation in fishes are largely unknown. In these oviparous species, the initiation of sperm motility is triggered by the osmolality of the ...
Fermoselle Pérez, Clara (Data de defensa: 2012-11-26)
Muscle dysfunction and muscle wasting are major systemic manifestations of chronic conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and cancer. Several biological mechanisms contribute to such a dysfunction. ...
