Antecedentes: La infección por el virus del papiloma humano de alto riesgo HPV (HR) es un factor necesario para las lesiones cervicales (SIL) y el cáncer cervical invasivo (ICC). En las mujeres infectadas por el HIV, la ...
Fleta Soriano, Eric (Date of defense: 2015-12-18)
Hundreds of host factors related to viral infections like HIV, hepatitis C virus, dengue virus or West Nile virus have been identified. As many of these host factors are shared by different viruses, chemical blockade of ...
Massanella Luna, Marta (Date of defense: 2012-06-26)
La infecció pel virus de la immunodeficiència humana (VIH) provoca una deficiència progressiva del sistema immunològic, caracteritzada per una destrucció massiva de les cèl•lules T CD4 i, una activació i inflamació immune ...
Shikhagaie, Medya (Date of defense: 2011-11-07)
In the present study, we have approached the molecular characterization of the HCMV specific UL1. To this end a HCMV (AD169-derived HB5 background) recombinant with an HA-epitope tagged UL1 and a mutant with a full UL1 ...
Pryszcz, Leszek Piotr (Date of defense: 2014-11-28)
Las Candidas forman uno de los grupos con mayor n´umero de hongos pat´ogenos en humanos. La relaci ´on que tienen desde un punto de vista filogen´etico demuestra que la capacidad de infectar humanos ha surgido varias ...

In the beginning of 2020 the WHO declared a pandemic that was initiated by the outbreak of a new virus named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that quickly spread globally, challenging our ...
Abner, Erik (Date of defense: 2016-12-21)
Tras la infección por VIH-1, el establecimiento de un depósito de células T en reposo infectadas latentemente con VIH impide la erradicación del virus en pacientes. Para lograr la erradicación, la terapia retroviral existente ...
Domenjó Vila, Eva (Date of defense: 2022-06-01)
The contribution of cross-presenting XCR1+ dendritic cells (DC) in maintaining T cell function during exhaustion and immuno-therapeutic interventions of chronic infections remains poorly characterized. Using the mouse model ...
López Montañés, María (Date of defense: 2016-11-25)
El citomegalovirus humano (HCMV) promueve una redistribución del compartimento de células Natural Killer (NK) marcada por un incremento de las células NK maduras que expresan niveles elevados del receptor activador CD94/NKG2C. ...
Gallastegui Calvache, Edurne (Date of defense: 2010-06-18)
El establecimiento de un reservorio latente del virus del HIV en células T CD4+ es la mayor barrera contra la erradicación de esta enfermedad. Para lograr su erradicación, se necesitaría combinar la terapia antirretroviral ...
Soria Jiménez, Luis (Date of defense: 2023-02-17)
Although the dual anti-HER2 blockade with trastuzumab and pertuzumab monoclonal antibodies has improved the outcome of patients with HER2+ breast cancer, a significant number of patients relapse. Additional strategies for ...
Riera Domínguez, María Graciela (Date of defense: 2018-12-10)
The host immune response against infection requires the coordinated action of many diverse cell subsets that dynamically adapt to a pathogen threat. Due to the complexity of such a response, most immunological studies have ...

Bloquejar la via PD-1/PD-L1 ha sorgit com una estratègia prometedora per a restaurar la resposta immune efectora en individus infectats amb el virus de la immunodeficiència humana (VIH). Malgrat l’extensa recerca duta a ...
Galão, Rui Pedro Ribeiro (Date of defense: 2010-12-01)
By using the ability of the positive-strand RNA ((+)RNA) virus BMV to replicate in yeast it was previously shown that subunits of the LSm1-7 ring, as well as Pat1 and Dhh1 play an essential role in the transit of the BMV ...
Smutná, Katarína (Date of defense: 2019-02-18)
The process of HIV latency establishment and maintenance is not clearly understood. Homeostatic proliferation (HSP) is a major mechanism by which long-lived naive and memory CD4 T cells are maintained in vivo. HSP also ...
Casella, Valentina (Date of defense: 2021-05-19)
