The Immune System (IS) is a complex collection of tissues, organs, cells and molecules to defense the body against threatens. IS is organized into two lines of defense: innate immunity which acts in a non-specific manner ...
Postma, Tobias Maria (Date of defense: 2014-03-21)
Cysteine (Cys) is a unique amino acid due to its ability to form reversible covalent disulfide bonds. These bonds cause conformational constraints which make peptides or proteins more rigid and stable. In addition, the ...
Zapata Corella, Pablo (Date of defense: 2022-09-19)
In the present thesis, analytical methods based on gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, both single (GC-MS) or tandem (GC-MS/MS), have been developed and optimized for the detection and quantification of ...
Velázquez Gómez, Miquel (Date of defense: 2019-10-21)
Dust has been used as a surrogate of indoor organic contamination for several decades. Their concerns for human health include from sensitization effects such as allergies to toxic effects derived from those organic ...
Filatova, Daria (Date of defense: 2021-07-20)
Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes and components of regular periphyton formation. Overall, there are around 2000 cyanobacterial species that live in various environments. Some cyanobacterial species are known to form blooms, ...
Martínez Prats, Raimon (Date of defense: 2022-11-17)
[eng] Remote high mountains allow the study of the environmental fate of legacy and emerging anthropogenic chemicals that form a worldwide diffuse background layer of pollution. Semi- volatile compounds like polychlorinated ...
Barbieri, Maria Vittoria (Date of defense: 2021-01-28)
The assessment of pesticide occurrence in different environmental compartments has become a matter of outstanding importance since its effects on exposed organisms may be considered a warning on the potential risk these ...
Panarello, Silvia (Date of defense: 2021-12-15)
Photopharmacology has the main purpose to allow the control of protein activity with light. The most exploited strategy used to achieve this objective is the freely diffusible photopharmacology and it is based in the use ...
