Paulo Mirasol, Esther (Date of defense: 2014-12-19)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a variety of molecules derived from molecular oxygen during different metabolic processes. ROS can react with different cellular components resulting in lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation ...
Frager, Petra (Date of defense: 2022-10-28)
[eng] Decreased physical activity and increased consumption of energy-rich food are hallmark lifestyle modifications that developed and amplified over the course of only a few decades. These changes in our daily behavior ...
Gómez Ramírez, Jordi (Date of defense: 2002-09-26)
La importancia de la neurotransmissió histaminèrgica sobre diversos procesos neurofisiològics i neuropatològics ha sigut ben descrita. Malgrat tot, els mecanismes de transducció que controlen l'alliberament i la síntesi ...
Berger, Stefan (Date of defense: 2010-09-16)
This thesis consists of three essays on the regulation of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and trade in open economies. The rst chapter investigates the di erences in Intellectual Property Rights between countries. ...
Goicoechea Barrenechea, Leire (Date of defense: 2021-06-16)
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a rare neurometabolic disease characterized by the loss of function of the peroxisomal transporter ABCD1, which leads to an accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA), ...
Corrionero Saiz, Ana (Date of defense: 2010-12-16)
Alternative splicing provides the cell the ability to generate, from a single gene, multiple protein isoforms, sometimes with different or even antagonistic functions. This process is tightly regulated and alterations in ...
Sherstoboeva, Elena (Date of defense: 2017-09-15)
Aquesta tesi examina les polítiques de mitjans a Rússia amb l’objectiu d’identificar, principalment des d’un punt de vista jurídic, fins a quin punt han estat objecte d’influència per part del estàndards legals establerts ...
Sáez Borderias, Andrea (Date of defense: 2009-02-20)
This work is centered on the study of the NKG2 C-type lectin-like receptors on NK and CD4+T cells. We provide evidence supporting that CD4+T cells specific for Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) may express different NK cell ...
Prado Sánchez, Judith (Date of defense: 2012-07-02)
En el trabajo aquí presentado se investigó la participación de los niveles intracelulares de GMP-cíclico (CMPC) en la regulación de diferentes aspectos de la neuroinflamación. En el primer capítulo hemos observado que los ...
Morancho Armisen, Beatriz (Date of defense: 2008-06-19)
NFAT5 is the main regulator of an osmoprotective gene program that is switched on by osmotic stress. Hypertonicity causes a harmful increase in the intracellular concentration of inorganic ions and NFAT5-regulated genes ...
Hernández Ribera, Jordi (Date of defense: 2016-11-23)
Alternative pre-mRNA splicing of the Notch regulator NUMB exon 9 switches between isoforms that promote (exon inclusion) or prevent (exon skipping) cell proliferation. We have studied NUMB alternative splicing regulation ...
Carrillo García, Julia (Date of defense: 2021-09-30)
This project has aimed to investigate the regulation of the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 by proteins that sense and modify membrane curvature. Our second objective has been to study this interplay in the context of ...
Garcia i Fruitós, Elena (Date of defense: 2008-05-08)
All the processes that take place in a cell require one or more proteins, meaning that they are essential components of life. Proteins are macromolecules consisting of amino acid units, all of them being constructed with ...
Pedraz López, Lucas (Date of defense: 2020-01-13)
The perpetuation of life depends on the ability to reproduce. All known forms of life use DNA as genetic information storage. Ribonucleotide reduction is the process by which ribonucleotides (NTPs) are transformed into ...
Meca-Cortés, Oscar (Date of defense: 2014-12-17)
The transcription factor SOX2 is a key determinant of stem cell properties, also involved in the initiation, maintenance and progression of several human cancers. By studying the in vitro phenotypic ...
Martínez Gutiérrez, Alfredo (Date of defense: 2019-12-13)
One of the main causal factors of skin aging is ultraviolet radiation as part of sun exposure. This radiation induces many changes at the molecular level that alter the proper function of skin biological processes, being ...
Ninfali, Chiara (Date of defense: 2019-12-13)
Muscle atrophy, which is characterized by excessive protein catabolism, is one of the major adaptive processes that occur in several physiopathological and clinical conditions, to counteract stressing stimuli. Skeletal ...
