Carvalho Simoes, Francisco Manuel de (Data de defensa: 2018-07-06)
Glucose transporters (GLUTs) are extremely important for glucose metabolism. Glucose transporters uptake glucose from blood stream into the cells where it can be metabolized. Among the glucose transporters family, GLUT4, ...
López Ferrando, Víctor (Data de defensa: 2019-12-11)
Single amino acid variants (SAVs) are one of the main causes of Mendelian disorders, and play an important role in the development of many complex diseases. At the same time, they are the most common kind of variation ...
Turón Rodrigo, Gemma (Data de defensa: 2019-04-25)
Colorectal tumors are not homogeneous entities but rather composed of a mixture of cells with different phenotypes, reminiscent of healthy intestinal epithelium cell types. Intestinal epithelium is one of the organs with ...
Henryka Gawrzak, Sylwia (Data de defensa: 2016-11-23)
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and remains the second leading cause of death among women in Europe and United States. In this malignancy, metastasis remains to be an incurable condition, and therefore ...
Romero Durana, Miguel Alfonso (Data de defensa: 2018-11-26)
Proteins play a crucial role in virtually every biological process taking place within our cells. Most of the times, proteins do not participate in these processes alone but forming complexes of two or more proteins. ...
Amengual-Rigo, Pep (Data de defensa: 2021-02-15)
Proteins are large macromolecules constituted by amino acids that are responsible for most of the biological processes within a cell. Proteins showing high complementary affinity may bind forming protein-protein complexes. ...
Michel Todó, Lucas (Data de defensa: 2023-03-28)
[eng] The most severe form of malaria, caused by Plasmodium falciparum parasites, still kills over half a million people every year, most of them children under the age of five. Despite huge research efforts, reduction in ...
Fernández Carasa, Irene (Data de defensa: 2021-06-29)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an incurable, chronically progressive disorder of old age leading to premature invalidity and death. Clinically, PD is characterized by classical motor syndrome linked to a progressive loss of ...
Garcia Cabau, Carla (Data de defensa: 2022-05-31)
Intrinsically disordered (ID) proteins or regions are protein sequences that lack stable secondary and tertiary structures. ID proteins are particularly prone to undergo liquid- liquid phase separation (LLPS). The structures ...
Casasampere Ferrer, Mireia (Data de defensa: 2017-03-24)
Els esfingolípids són lípids complexes derivats de l’esfingosina que a més de servir de base estructural de les membranes cel·lulars, regulen múltiples vies de senyalització, com per exemple l’autofàgia. Entre tots els ...
Pertsovskaya, Inna (Data de defensa: 2014-06-25)
Systems Biology opens new frontiers in the studies of complex diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The questions that couldn’t be addressed before due to lack of understanding and methodological base, such as the ...
Paz Domínguez, Joel (Data de defensa: 2021-12-14)
Despite decades of work, the molecular requirements underlying microtubule- organizing center (MTOC) formation at the centrosome remain obscure. Progress is hindered by the complexity of this organelle, which is composed ...
Català Moll, Francisco (Data de defensa: 2020-06-08)
Epigenetic factors, such as histone post-translational modifications and DNA methylation, are critical determinants of gene expression, which ultimately defines cell identity and function. Despite intense research in DNA ...
Pijuán Jiménez, Isabel (Data de defensa: 2019-12-02)
During the process of corticogenesis, cortical radial glial cells (RGs) generate sequentially most of the distinct types of neurons and glial cells that will populate the neocortex. The generation of these cells at the ...
Benítez Amaro, Aleyda (Data de defensa: 2022-12-22)
[eng] BACKGROUND: Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) plays a key role in fatty acid metabolism and glucose homeostasis. In the context of dyslipidemia, LRP1 is positively regulated in the heart. The ...
Bagiński, Błażej Mikołaj (Data de defensa: 2022-12-15)
[eng] Tumour progression largely depends on the signalling networks that direct cell viability, growth and dissemination (metastasis). Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) are cytokines ...
Deniz, Ozgen (Data de defensa: 2014-05-06)
The nucleosome is the fundamental structural unit of DNA compaction in eukaryotic cells and is formed by the wrapping of 147 bp double stranded DNA around a histone octamer. Nucleosome organization plays a major role in ...
Flores Guri, Oscar (Data de defensa: 2014-06-10)
This thesis presents a broad study of the chromatin structure and function with special focus in the nucleosome organization. More specifically, it includes three different but complementary perspectives: i) Analysis of ...
