Marine planktonic copepods play a key ecological role in pelagic food webs. The study of their patterns of activity is fundamental in order to better understand the processes involved in the transfer of energy from lower ...
The Antarctic bottoms harbour rich communities of sponges, which play an important role in structuring benthic habitats. Many Antarctic sponge species have been discovered in the past but most of them were poorly described ...
[eng] Different transdermal drug delivery platforms have been developed for epidermal and follicular targeting. Nanoformulations have been developed, optimised and physicochemically characterised with complementary techniques. ...
Arabidopsis thaliana seedling growth and development is influenced by both external (such as light and temperature) and internal (like hormones or circadian clock) factors. In short-day (SD) growing conditions, it is known ...
The páramo is a high mountain ecosystem that includes the natural and semi-natural habitats located between the montane treeline and the permanent snowline in the humid Northern Andes. Given its recent origin and continental ...
Translation of mRNAs into proteins is a highly regulated step of gene expression. In cancer, post-transcriptional and translational control have a critical effect on transformation, controlling proliferation, survival, ...
[spa] El splicing alternativo es un proceso que además de proporcionar diversidad al transcriptoma y proteoma celular, añade una nueva capa de regulación en la expresión de proteínas y en la función que estas desempeñan. ...
Steatotic livers are considerably more prone to IRI, in which turn, it is known to impair mitochondrial function. Our working hypothesis lies on the fact that impaired mitochondrial function and reduced protection against ...
Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder involving dysregulation of multiple pathways. In the last decades, the cortico-cerebellar-thalamo-cortical circuit has been proposed to play a key role in cognitive impairments ...
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by loss of function variants in the NF2 gene. The pathognomonic feature of the disease is the development of bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS), ...
The perpetuation of life depends on the ability to reproduce. All known forms of life use DNA as genetic information storage. Ribonucleotide reduction is the process by which ribonucleotides (NTPs) are transformed into ...
Many chemicals are continuously entering into the aquatic environment, as a result of their widespread use, disposal and accidental release. Several of these xenobiotics may disrupt reproductive functions of both vertebrates ...
Las proteínas insulator son componentes esenciales de la organización tridimensional de la cromatina ya que son capaces de establecer interacciones entre regiones distantes de la mediante su capacidad de asociarse a otras ...
The role of consumer-resource relationship is the basis of the structure and functioning of ecological communities. The traditional lens for studying such interactions have tended to omit the importance of the species ...
The HMG-box protein Capicua (Cic) is a conserved transcriptional repressor with key functions downstream of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-Ras-MAPK signaling pathways. In both Drosophila and mammals, Cic is expressed as ...
Modern lifestyles in an increasing number of human societies include consuming an excess of saturated fats and refined sugars as well as enjoying microbiologically aseptic environments. Maintaining the appropriate ...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of death worldwide and tumour recurrence is a frequent complication that arises from minimal residual disease and shows up after a period of clinical dormancy. Slow-cycling cancer ...
[eng] DYRK1A is a kinase that is expressed in virtually all tissues and cell types and is implicated in human diseases. Several studies indicate that DYRK1A is a dose-dependent gene with a prevalent function in brain ...
The identification of genes that mediate metastasis is pivotal to better understand the mechanism, to develop novel drugs and to stratify patients with highest risk and consecutively administrate them preventive treatments. ...
Mitochondria are well known for their role as bioenergetic and biosynthetic organelles. Recently, they also have emerged as one of the main regulators of innate immune responses, mostly for its ability to modulate several ...
