[cat] Les característiques immunomoduladores induïdes per la proteïna plasmàtica humana C4BP(β-) en el model in vitro de Mo-DCs inflamatòries li confereixen potencial terapèutic per al restabliment de la tolerància ...
[eng] BACKGROUND: Antibody-mediated encephalitides represent a novel category of brain inflammatory disorders mediated by antibodies targeting neural cell- surface proteins. The most prevalent form is anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate ...
Obesity is reaching pandemic dimensions and is an established instigator of many diseases, such as non alcoholic fatty liver disease, the most prevalent liver disease worldwide. Most studies in this regard have been focused ...
[eng] OBJECTIVES: Class IV sirtuins are dual sirtuins that possess deacetylation and ADP-ribosylation activities. The main objective of this PhD was to study of sirtuin duality. Specifically, we focused our attention ...
Clinical pathologists identify visually many morphological features to characterize the different normal cells, as well as the abnormal cell types whose presence in peripheral blood is the evidence of serious diseases. ...
[eng] Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are characterized by a selective and irreversible loss of neurons in a specific brain area. NDs are incurable and debilitating, becoming the greatest unmet clinical need of our time. ...
Blood vessels distribute nutrients and oxygen to every single cell in the body. Endothelial cells define the vessel wall, and thus they are ideally located to crucially modulate nutrient availability and act as metabolic ...
[eng] The isolation and generation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has allowed research in human organogenesis to excel, by allowing the reproduction of the fundamental principles of tissue morphogenesis in vitro. ...
The immune system comprises cellular and humoral components that protect the organism against external and internal aggressions, such as pathogens and cancer. Therefore, it can distinguish healthy, self structures from ...
[spa] La enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) es la segunda enfermedad neurodegenerativa más común, afectando al 1 % de la población de más de 60 años. La EP se caracteriza por síntomas motores como el temblor en reposo, la ...
[spa] Los virus de ADN de gran tamaño, como son los herpesvirus, contienen una gran cantidad de material genético aun sin caracterizar. Estos virus han desarrollado múltiples estrategias que les permiten evadir la acción ...
[spa] INTRODUCCIÓN: El melanoma cutáneo es el cáncer más agresivo de piel A pesar de que los nuevos tratamientos como la inmunoterapia o las terapias dirigidas a inhibidores de BRAF permiten aumentar la supervivència ...
GENERAL AIM: The general aim of this thesis is to understand how mechanical stress depends on pressure, size and shape in fluid-filled curved epithelial sheets. SPECIFIC AIMS: This general aim can be divided ...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, and the most common movement disorder in the world population. In most cases its aetiology is still unknown, however, mitochondrial alterations ...
[eng] Executive function is defined as a subset of high-order cognitive functions (including working memory, inhibition, initiation and monitoring) that sustain adaptive goal-directed behavior and thought, and that are ...
[eng] INTRODUCTION: Chronic liver disease (CHD) is the consequence of prolonged liver damage and is characterized by a process of inflammation and fibrosis in the liver, which causes about 2 million deaths per year. It can ...
[eng] INTRODUCTION: Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a rare inflammatory disease that affects the proximal and distal muscles and causes muscle weakness progressively. It begins from the age of 50 and the first symptoms ...
Les infeccions bacterianes han esdevingut un greu problema a escala mundial per culpa del mal ús que hom ha fet dels antibiòtics. L’adquisició de resistències als antimicrobians s’ha accelerat i cada cop hi ha més bacteris ...
[spa] El citoesqueleto de actina es un componente esencial de las células eucariotas que tiene un importante papel en muchas funciones biológicas básicas como el mantenimiento de la morfología, la migración, el tráfico ...
