Les relacions de poder, que són hegemòniques a la nostra societat, causen i perpetuen les iniquitats socials, fent ús de les violències per sostenir les asimetries i afectant negativament a la salut física, mental i social ...
During the last decades the non-coding portion of the genome became subject of intense research due to its contribution to the complexity of biological and pathological processes. CircRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs ...
La presente tesis doctoral se basa en el compendio de tres estudios de investigación, que tenían como objetivo evaluar: (1) la factibilidad y la fiabilidad de la medición del grosor del músculo del antebrazo (MT), (2) los ...
The current PhD thesis consists in a compilation of three papers aimed to analyze core drivers of Integrated care (IC) scale-up, namely: (i) assess the effects of anxiety and depression on physical activity in COPD patients ...
L'activació sostinguda de Hog1 porta a una inhibició del creixement cel·lular. En aquest treball, hem observat que el fenotip de letalitat causat per l'activació sostinguda de Hog1 és parcialment inhibida per la mutació ...
The process of HIV latency establishment and maintenance is not clearly understood. Homeostatic proliferation (HSP) is a major mechanism by which long-lived naive and memory CD4 T cells are maintained in vivo. HSP also ...
X-Chromosome Reactivation (XCR) occurs in the epiblast cells of the blastocyst and in germ cells, thereby coupling XCR with pluripotency. We performed a screen in iPS cells by knocking down the expression of candidate ...
The aim of the thesis was to identify biomarkers for multiple sclerosis (MS) prognosis, in particular disease activity biomarkers and interferon-β (IFNβ) treatment response biomarkers. The results presented in this ...
Germ-line mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 strongly increase the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer in women. Different hypothesis have been proposed to explain this tissue specificity. ...
Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure causes death, disease, and disability among children and non-smoking adults. Total smoking bans have proven effective in preventing and reducing indoor SHS exposures. However, little is known ...
L'estudi de la variació genòmica ens pot ajudar a entendre la història demogràfica de les poblacions i els events de selecció que hi han influït. Normalment això es fa mitjançant els tests de neutralitat, una eina estadística ...
In the present thesis, and in the context of the Sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) research project running at the pharmaceutical company ESTEVE, we addressed, at the preclinical level, the role played by selective σ1R antagonism/blockade ...
This thesis investigates the relationship between attention to time and modality at the levels of behavior and pre-stimulus brain oscillations, measured with EEG. Participants were presented with target stimuli from one ...
La selenocïsteina és coneguda com a l'aminoàcid 21. Les selenoproteïnes incorporen selenocïsteina en resposta a codons UGA específics mitjançant un mecanisme de recodificació, el qual és present en els tres dominis de la ...
Evidències recents han remarcat la importància del paper de l'estructura de la cromatina i el posicionament de nucleosomes en processos cel·lulars bàsics com és la regulació de la transcripció gènica. L'avenç de noves ...
The existence and progression of certain diseases are associated with the imbalances of different biomolecules. The multiplex sensing of hydrogen peroxide and pH can be potentially used for understanding the progression ...
During embryonic development, cellular forces synchronize in space and time to generate functional tissue shapes. Apical constriction is a force-generating process necessary to provoke the folding of multiple organ primordia ...
Background: Previous studies have focused on analysing specific labour market situations and their relationship with sickness absence (SA). However, little is known about the relationship between mobility between different ...
