[spa] El pulmón siempre se ha considerado estéril. Sin embargo, el campo de la microbiota pulmonar se ha visto revolucionado por el avance de las técnicas moleculares. Cada individuo tiene un perfil de microbiota único, ...
El manteniment de l’homeòstasi en organismes adults és cabdal per la continuïtat dels individus; desregulacions d’aquest equilibri porten a l’aparició de malalties. La planària és un model d’estudi en regeneració i remodelació ...
[cat] La dialèctica sobre si l’objecte de la gestió documental ha d’incloure també la informació estructurada, o limitar-se només als documents, en tant que objectes discrets, es remunta a l’aparició de la tecnologia ...
[spa] Las sinucleínas son una familia de proteínas pequeñas y altamente conservadas en vertebrados, especialmente abundantes en las neuronas y típicamente enriquecidas en los terminales presinápticos, donde participan en ...
El gen MC1R (codi OMIM: #155555) codifica pel receptor de la melanocortina 1 (MC1R) que s’expressa majoritàriament a la membrana dels melanòcits i està implicat en la regulació de la síntesi de melanina. El gen MC1R és ...
Cardiovascular disease remains the first cause of death worldwide. Pharmacological trials and Mendelian randomization studies have failed to unequivocally prove an inverse association between HDL-C levels and the risk of ...
Gene regulation mechanisms control the level of transcription of each gene into RNA and the combination of expressed genes determines cell identity. Gene regulation is maintained by epigenetic mechanisms including DNA ...
The human capacity for language is made up of various cognitive subcomponents, the convergence of which allows our species a unique ability to relay our thoughts. Identifying these subcomponents and establishing how they ...
The role of consumer-resource relationship is the basis of the structure and functioning of ecological communities. The traditional lens for studying such interactions have tended to omit the importance of the species ...
The HMG-box protein Capicua (Cic) is a conserved transcriptional repressor with key functions downstream of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-Ras-MAPK signaling pathways. In both Drosophila and mammals, Cic is expressed as ...
Previous studies have reported the importance of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) 1A as an essential part of downstream ghrelin signaling in the central nervous system (CNS) for the control of food intake. Lipid ...
The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is a cytokine involved in many physiological and pathological processes. Its dual role has been described in the liver, where it can either induce pro- or anti-apoptotic signals. ...
[eng] The arrival of antiangiogenic therapies represented a huge advance in the treatment of different tumors, such as renal carcinoma. However, despite initial good results, some tumors were able to develop different ...
Psoriasis is a common immune-mediated inflammatory skin condition affecting around 2% of the population worldwide. Different disease subtypes have been described regarding their specific clinical phenotype: chronic plaques, ...
Many second language (L2) learners find L2 pronunciation difficult and experience perception and production problems leading to accented speech. There exists a great inter-learner variation in L2 phonological acquisition ...
Modern lifestyles in an increasing number of human societies include consuming an excess of saturated fats and refined sugars as well as enjoying microbiologically aseptic environments. Maintaining the appropriate ...
Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) results from the fine regulation of synthesis and degradation. The nuclear cofactor DOR/TP53INP2 was identified originally as a protein expressed in PML of nuclear bodies. However, in ...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of death worldwide and tumour recurrence is a frequent complication that arises from minimal residual disease and shows up after a period of clinical dormancy. Slow-cycling cancer ...
Childhood obesity and overweight can often cause severe complications, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, amongst other disorders. Several ...
Obesity and associated metabolic diseases have reached epidemic proportions, affecting not only high-income countries but also low- and middle-income ones. In this context, the search for therapeutic approaches to treat ...
