Genetic variation in humans and the great apes has been amply explored using a wide variety of markers, among them tandem repeats (TRs). Because of the nature of TRs, highly variable in length due to its high mutation rate, ...
COPII vesicles of 60-90nm diameter are known to export secretory cargoes from endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, they cannot be employed to export bulky cargoes like the collagens that can reach up to 400 nm in length. ...
Aging is the main challenge that humanity will face on the near future. Brain aging is associated with cognitive deficiencies and is the main risk factor for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). AD is the most common neurodegenerative ...
Alternative splicing of BRAF mRNA can provide a resistance mechanism to BRAF and MEK inhibitors that has been described mostly in BRAF-mutant melanoma. The mechanisms underlying the production of a variety of BRAF mRNA ...
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. It is characterized by the growth of endometrium in extrauterine locations and is associated with chronic pelvic pain, ...
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is the most common adverse effect of many first-line antineoplastic agents, which negatively affects the quality of life and clinical outcome. Current clinical management ...
The endocannabinoid system is an endogenous neuromodulatory system that regulates a plethora of physiological functions, including the modulation of memory, anxiety, pain, synaptic plasticity and neuronal excitability, ...
Retinoblastoma protein (RB) is a negative regulator of the cell cycle. In response to environmental stress, p38 MAPK phosphorylates RB in the N-terminal region, increasing the affinity of RB for E2F, repressing gene ...
This thesis studies tax competition from both a theoretical and an empirical point of view. In chapter 1 we develop a dynamic two-country optimal taxation model to study tax competition. We find that tax competition is ...
This thesis explores the problem of compatibility between generations in the field of Digital Television, and proposes solutions to this problem. Since its inception, the DTV has been under development without taking ...

This PhD thesis aimed to understand the impact of temperature at different levels (biology to physics) while performing live-cell imaging. A study and characterization of the role of the temperature during the cell division ...
En aquesta dissertació es fusionen dos dels temes tradicionals de la Visió per Computador: la segmentació i el seguiment d'objectes. Per a la segmentació s'utilitzen mètodes basats en "Active Contours (AC)" i per al seguiment ...
The objective of this thesis is to provide a temporal analysis of the structural and interaction dynamics of large evolving graphs. In this thesis we propose new definitions of important graph metrics in order to include ...
Dynamic brain states, temporal functional unions of diverse brain areas, are the driving force in our everyday cognition. They help us to flexibly integrate and segregate the assorted information that the environment is ...
