Drosophila larvae present unique opportunity for anatomical and functional mapping of their nervous system because of features such as numerical simplicity of neurons its nervous system is composed of, and ability to exhibit ...
The recent discovery that intestinal adenomas are built on a stem cell hierarchy has raised great interest in understanding the signals that maintain tumor stem cells. We unveiled the existence of a transcriptional circuit ...
Las células madre embrionarias (ESCs) derivan de la masa cellular interna de los blastocistos y son capaces de generar las tres capas germinales. Muchos factores controlan la pluripotencia incluyendo la ruta Wnt/β-catenina. ...
This thesis is focused on women in executive office. Whereas the literature on women's political representation in national parliaments is now well established, analyses of women in cabinets are rather limited. The ...
Word embeddings are a building block of many practical applications across NLP and related disciplines. In this thesis, we present theoretical analysis and algorithms to learn word embeddings. Moreover, we present applications ...
The project focuses on cancer and its effects on work trajectories from a life course perspective, both from a qualitative and quantitative approach. Quantitative analyses were based on a retrospective dynamic cohort of ...
The purpose of the thesis is to investigate multilingual health information websites in English, Spanish, and Catalan for comprehensibility and cultural adaptation in terms of language. This study questions whether there ...
While study abroad at the university level has been shown to benefit many aspects of second language proficiency, little is known about how this affects participants’ writing skills. The present study explores ...
X chromosome reactivation in female mouse germ cells is essential for the transmission of one active X chromosome to the progeny. However, despite its key role in development, the mechanistic details and kinetics still ...
En esta tesis se analizará la obra de Yuan Muzhi, especialmente los filmes que dirigió, su debut, Scenes of City Life (都市風光,1935) y su segunda y última obra Street Angel (马路天使, 1937). Para ello se propone el concepto comedia ...
Durant la transició Epiteli-Mesènquima (TEM), el factor de transcripció Snail reprimeix la transcripció de l'E-cadherina unint-se a les caixes E presents en el promotor d'aquest gen.<br/>Les cèl·lules que expressen Snail ...
The purpose of this thesis is to introduce and demonstrate several biological processes or phenomena using posterior lateral line system of zebrafish as a model. The first part of this work focuses on the highly dynamic ...
In this thesis, we present some public-key cryptographic schemes. This work is divided in two halves. The rst half deals with zero-knowledge proofs in the classical setting and under falsi able assumptions. In particular, ...
Telecommunication systems such as mobile communications are evolving over time, and thanks to that, many digital services have arisen in the last decade. Usually, these services ask their users to provide sensitive information ...
Zinc is an essential trace element with structural, catalytic and signaling roles in our body. At cellular level, zinc homeostasis participates in fundamental functions such as cell proliferation, migration, differentiation ...
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is frequently linked to epigenetic abnormalities and deregulation of gene transcription, which lead to aberrant cell proliferation and accumulation of undifferentiated precursors. ZRF1, a ...
Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst can be maintained in culture, under pluripotent conditions, using Serum+LIF medium. However, it has been published that the minimal combination ...
