En aquesta tesi, titulada “Regeneració i homeòstasi a les planàries: gens i vies de senyalització implicats en l'organogènesi”, s’aprofundeix en l’estudi dels processos responsables de l’organogènesi a la planària d’aigua ...
Vizcaya Molina, Elena (Date of defense: 2018-12-19)
One of the most important questions in regenerative biology is how and when genes change expression to trigger regeneration programs. Resetting of gene expression patterns during injury responses is shaped by the coordinated ...
Sánchez Bellver, Laura (Date of defense: 2023-12-15)
[eng] Ciliopathies encompass a broad group of heterogeneous inherited disorders associated with dysfunction of the cilium, a ubiquitous microtubule-based organelle that translates extracellular stimuli into cellular ...
López Aladid, Rubén (Date of defense: 2022-10-20)
[spa] El pulmón siempre se ha considerado estéril. Sin embargo, el campo de la microbiota pulmonar se ha visto revolucionado por el avance de las técnicas moleculares. Cada individuo tiene un perfil de microbiota único, ...
Rosselló Xamena, Maria (Date of defense: 2021-12-10)
El manteniment de l’homeòstasi en organismes adults és cabdal per la continuïtat dels individus; desregulacions d’aquest equilibri porten a l’aparició de malalties. La planària és un model d’estudi en regeneració i remodelació ...
Tell Martí, Gemma (Date of defense: 2018-05-07)
El gen MC1R (codi OMIM: #155555) codifica pel receptor de la melanocortina 1 (MC1R) que s’expressa majoritàriament a la membrana dels melanòcits i està implicat en la regulació de la síntesi de melanina. El gen MC1R és ...

Childhood obesity and overweight can often cause severe complications, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, amongst other disorders. Several ...
Sousa, Nidia de (Date of defense: 2017-07-17)
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 ...
Pappa, Stella (Date of defense: 2019-04-10)
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 ...
Gheitasi, Hoda (Date of defense: 2024-01-26)
[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 ...
Pi Roig, Aina (Date of defense: 2018-04-06)
Tbx5 is a transcription factor expressed in the developing eyes, heart and upper limbs. Mutations in human TBX5 cause Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS), a condition characterised by heart and upper limb malformations. In zebrafish, ...
