Maintaining regenerative competence of muscle stem cells: role of mitochondrial dynamics
La regeneración del músculo esquelético depende de la expansión correcta de las células madre inactivas residentes (células satélite), un proceso que se vuelve menos eficiente con el envejecimiento, por razones en gran ...
Computational fluid simulations in clinical datasets for understanding thrombus formation before and after left atrial appendage occlusion
Atrial fibrillation is considered the most common arrhythmia in humans. Because the left atrium of the heart stops beating properly and begins to do so in an arrhythmic manner, the blood may become stagnant in a small ...
Succinct arguments: efficiency, assumptions and trade-offs
Succinct non-interactive arguments (snarks) are cryptographic constructions that allow a prover to convince a verifier about the validity of a statement regarding some computation. We consider these objects from the ...
Influence of natural environments during pregnancy on fetal health
La urbanització mundial de la població està incrementat ràpidament. Aquesta actual vida en àrees urbanes pot fomentar una major exposició a certs contaminats, als estils de vida sedentaris, a nivells d'estrès elevats i a ...

Pathophysiological regulation of the production, aggregation and toxicity of the amyloid beta-peptide in Alzheimer's disease
Society increase in live expectancy will cause a rise in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) diagnosis, thus, there is a need to further understand how it works. One of the main culprits of this disease amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), this ...
Shaping mammalian tissues with light : optogenetic control of apical constriction
During embryonic development, cellular forces synchronize in space and time to generate functional tissue shapes. Apical constriction is a force-generating process necessary to provoke the folding of multiple organ primordia ...
Towards audio-visual deep learning methods for singing voice separation and lip synchronization
A typical music audio consists of different sounds spread across voices and musical instruments. We propose a low-cost deep learning (DL) method for simultaneously isolating multiple sound sources present in a music ...
