Unveiling novel components of the protein complex responsible for cGMP synthesis in retinal photoreceptors: role in cell physiology and disease

López Begines, Santiago (Date of defense: 2016-11-18)

In photoreceptor cells of the retina, light triggers a protein G-mediated enzymatic cascade that leads to hydrolysis of cGMP. The drop in cGMP levels causes the closure of cGMP-channel at the plasma membrane, decreasing ...

Vestibular Damage and Repair in Chronic Ototoxicity: Cellular Stages, Physiological Deficits and Molecular Mechanisms

Greguske, Erin A. (Date of defense: 2019-07-11)

Progressive ototoxicity of the inner ear is prevalent in patients administered aminoglycoside antibiotics with little understanding of how this damage occurs and to what extent it can be recovered. Numerous in vitro and ...
