Prado Peralta, María Gabriela (Date of defense: 2020-07-14)
Background: There is evidence suggesting that body weight is associated with lung function, but results are contradictory and suffer from important limitations. We aimed to assess the association of body weight and composition ...
Zadra, Ivan (Date of defense: 2022-03-17)
To ensure faithful segregation of the genetic material, cells build the mitotic spindle, a machinery made of dynamic microtubules (MTs) and MT associated proteins (MAPs). Chromosome bi-orientation is achieved through the ...
Santamaría-García, Hernando (Date of defense: 2014-01-31)
The present research is aimed at analyzing how human’s brain jointly computes cognitive and social interactions in presence of implicit social stimuli and/or in presence of socially neutral stimuli. First we analyzed the ...
Bogu, Gireesh K. (Date of defense: 2017-01-13)
Widespread transcription in mammals revealed unexpected discovery of non-coding elements like long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and repetitive elements. First, lncRNAs were previously identified in limited number of tissues ...
Morron Salmeron, Adrià (Date of defense: 2017-05-30)
The existence of transportation costs gives labor markets a local dimension. In particular, the well-documented existence of agglomeration economies creates a positive correlation between a city's size and the productivity ...
Adelstein, Andreina (Date of defense: 2007-02-16)
Esta tesis estudia la especificidad de los significados léxicos especializados, a partir del análisis del funcionamiento de nombres relacionales; ofrece una explicación integrada de la semántica especializada y no especializada ...
Cornea, Ioana (Date of defense: 2015-05-18)
El objetivo de esta Tesis doctoral es identificar las unidades de conocimiento especializado del derecho de extranjería con el fin de representar la relación de la equivalencia en un diccionario bilingüe español-rumano ...

Esta tesis doctoral tiene como finalidad principal analizar la situación de la enseñanza de la lengua china en España, concretamente en Barcelona, y en toda su complejidad, para proponer la introducción de léxico ...
Figueras Puig, Cristina (Date of defense: 2022-04-08)
Metastasis is the major cause of death from Breast Cancer (BCa). During its progression, divergent opinions have arisen regarding the hormonal status of the BCa subtypes. The mammary gland is composed of different cell ...
Jungfleisch, Jennifer (Date of defense: 2015-03-20)
Translation control is a vital aspect of gene expression for both viruses and their cellular hosts. We have previously shown that the cellular mRNA decay activators Dhh1 and Lsm1-7 promote translation of positive-strand ...
Stepniewski, Tomasz Maciej (Date of defense: 2020-01-09)
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the main acceptors of neurotransmitters, and thus play an important role in communication between neurons. Because of this they are an attractive drug target for multiple neurodegenerative ...
Serrat Farran, Xènia (Date of defense: 2019-11-26)
Caenorhabditis elegans provides a powerful experimental system for understanding fundamental questions in biomedical research, including the consequences of pre-mRNA splicing alterations. Here, we have applied CRISPR and ...
Martínez Høyer, Sergio (Date of defense: 2012-10-11)
The calcineurin-NFATc signaling pathway is involved in many aspects of the development and function of the immune, neural, skeletal, cardiovascular and muscular system of vertebrates. Regulators of Calcineurin (RCAN) ...
Cavazza, Tommaso (Date of defense: 2015-10-30)
To ensure faithful segregation of the genetic material, during mitosis the cell assembles the mitotic spindle, a macromolecular machine made of dynamic microtubules and associated proteins. Spindle microtubules are assembled ...
Colomer Montañà, Carlota (Date of defense: 2017-12-21)
Numerous studies have shown that the protein kinase IKKα is associated with cancer progression and metastasis in different models. However, the mechanisms underlying IKKα tumorigenic functions are poorly understood. We ...
Sierra Noguera, Cèsar (Date of defense: 2022-03-18)
The presence of an extra copy of Human Chromosome 21 (HSA21) in Down syndrome (DS) is one of the most complex genetic perturbations compatible with life and is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability. Here, ...
Horváth, Vivien (Date of defense: 2020-09-28)
Environmental stress is a major aspect of life and a limiting factor for the survival and distribution of species. Understanding the organismal stress response and the developed coping mechanisms is indispensable in order ...
Poliński, Patrik (Date of defense: 2022-04-07)
Microexons are an unusual form of alternative splicing with high evolutionary conservation, however, their functions are still far from being understood. In this thesis, we focused on a neuronal-specific microexon that ...
Calderón-Benavides, Liliana (Date of defense: 2011-09-27)
This doctoral work focuses on identifying and understanding the intents that motivate a user to perform a search on the Web. To this end, we apply machine learning models that do not require more information than the one ...
