    Molecular mechanisms during the differentiation, maturation and function of marine fish spermatozoa 

    Castro Arnau, Júlia (Date of defense: 2023-10-23)

    The molecular mechanisms regulating sperm differentiation (spermiogenesis) and maturation in fishes are largely unknown. In these oviparous species, the initiation of sperm motility is triggered by the osmolality of the ...

    Molecular mechanisms for active DNA demethylation in cellular immune models 

    Català Moll, Francisco (Date of defense: 2020-06-08)

    Epigenetic factors, such as histone post-translational modifications and DNA methylation, are critical determinants of gene expression, which ultimately defines cell identity and function. Despite intense research in DNA ...

    Calls Cobos, Aina (Date of defense: 2021-06-29)

    La neuropatia perifèrica induïda per platins (NPIP) és un dels efectes adversos més freqüents del cisplatí, l’oxaliplatí i el carboplatí, agents quimioteràpics de tipus platins administrats pel tractament de càncers altament ...

    Molecular mechanisms involved in the cerebral cortex development and their implications in neurodevelopmental disorders 

    Pijuán Jiménez, Isabel (Date of defense: 2019-12-02)

    During the process of corticogenesis, cortical radial glial cells (RGs) generate sequentially most of the distinct types of neurons and glial cells that will populate the neocortex. The generation of these cells at the ...

    Molecular mechanisms involved in the immunomodulation induced by LIF in cancer 

    Sala Hojman, Ada (Date of defense: 2016-07-15)

    LIF is a pleiotropic cytokine that can act as an immunomodulatory factor in different biological processes, such as embryo implantation, organ transplantation tolerance and multiple sclerosis. Here, we have observed that ...

    Molecular mechanisms involved in the process of muscle wasting : human and animal studies 

    Fermoselle Pérez, Clara (Date of defense: 2012-11-26)

    Muscle dysfunction and muscle wasting are major systemic manifestations of chronic conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and cancer. Several biological mechanisms contribute to such a dysfunction. ...
