Des de fa anys l'atenció al part està perseguint la fita d'aconseguir donar una assistència més humana i fisiològica a tot el procés, s'han creat guies de pràctica clínica, grups de treball, estratègies nacionals, etc., ...
Sánchez Quinto, Federico A (Date of defense: 2014-11-28)
Almost 20 years of Neandertal paleogenetics studies have significantly increased our knowledge about their evolutionary history. The analysis of DNA recovered from Neandertal remains to date, suggest that although they ...
Puig Tintó, Marta (Date of defense: 2023-05-02)
The exocyst is an heterooctameric protein complex that tethers secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane during exocytosis. Each exocytic event is mediated by 10-15 exocysts. However, how multiple exocysts organize in time ...
