DNA methylation is really important because it is altered due to genetic and environmental factors, and it is associated with common diseases. In this thesis, we identified new factors altering DNA methylation, including ...
Cognitive processing requires to flexibly combine information from functionally specialized neural processes that are widely distributed throughout the brain. Neuroimaging studies have consistently reported that functional ...
This study addresses the persistent challenges posed by transboundary haze pollution in ASEAN countries, examining the inadequacies of the 2002 ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution (ASEAN Haze Agreement). Despite ...
My dissertation aims to improve our understanding of why and how couple dynamics and marital transitions affect four critical economic outcomes: household savings, labour supply, transition to self-employment and income ...
Esta tesis constituye un estudio empírico de la privatización de la seguridad social en Perú, con énfasis sobre consumo, ahorro y bienestar. El primer capítulo describe la reforma y la posiciona como un valioso caso de ...
The mammalian visual system has a remarkable capacity of processing a large amount of information within milliseconds under widely varying conditions into invariant representations. Recently a model of the primary visual ...
Drosophila telomere maintenance depends on the transposition of three specialized retrotransposons – HeT-A, TART and TAHRE (HTT). Controlling the activation and silencing of these elements is crucial to maintain telomere ...
This PhD thesis analyzes the conceptual frames underpinning discourses on language for immigrant integration to understand their rationale, evolution and structuring effects. Analyzed from a multilevel perspective – state ...
This thesis explores the democratic legitimacy of the European Union, focusing on how it can be reformed to address the challenges posed by its hyper-complex structure. The work examines the tension between the growing ...
In this doctoral thesis, we address the study of the linguistic evolution of Western medicine disease terms in the Chinese language from 1915 to 2020. This is a parameter that has not yet been investigated in the specialized ...
The DNA Damage response is a crucial signaling network that preserves genome integrity. This network is an ensemble of distinct but often overlapping sub-networks, where participating components exert different functions ...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal degenerative disorder of locomotor and respiratory muscles, in which myofibers are progressively replaced by non-muscular fibrotic tissue. Here, we show that fibrin/ogen accumulates ...
This dissertation examines women's political representation and participation from an intersectional perspective in Catalonia. It encompasses three different, yet interconnected research articles. The first paper analyses ...
The Fox transcription factor family comprises FoxA1, FoxA2 and FoxA3, which regulate tissue development and metabolism. In breast cancer, FoxA1 together with estrogen receptor regulates tumor growth and luminal specification. ...
Oscillations at theta frequency (4-7 Hz) have been hypothesized to play an important functional role in brain processes associated to working memory. In this thesis, I investigate how the systematic manipulation of different ...
Temperature affects all processes, including development, and yet, it remains unknown how and/or if underlying mechanical and biochemical events are coordinated to slow down development robustly at lower temperatures. Here, ...
Major socio-economic and demographic changes have occurred in Europe during the last decades which have challenged the gender specialization of tasks and time. Nonetheless, inequalities in the distribution of paid and ...
La mutació és un procés essencial per l’evolució, tot i que també té un rol important tant en el càncer com en altres malalties. Les mutacions no s’acumulen uniformement al llarg del genoma i la seva presència es veu ...
