Overall, this thesis aims at approaching macrophyte herbivory and community ecology from a behavioural landscape perspective. Our study system, the seascape mosaic of Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows interspersed with ...
[eng] The field of cancer treatment has shifted towards personalized medicine, driven by advancements in understanding molecular and genetic abnormalities and identifying specific targets within cancer cells. Precision ...
Network and systems biology disciplines could revolutionize the study of complex diseases by taking proteins back to their context, considering a much broader perspective of their environment without losing the molecular ...
In a context of the global biodiversity crisis, such as the one in which the planet is found, having accurate information linked to biodiversity monitoring systems is essential to be able to make evidence-based decisions. ...
[eng] Common sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis, and trichomoniasis are the leading cause of morbidity in developing countries. Adolescents and young women have the highest rates of STIs ...
Small-scale fishers are often identified as key players in the recovery of overexploited fish and invertebrate stocks supplying food for rural people and contributing to achieving healthy marine ecosystems. Stocks harvested ...
[eng] Aging can be defined as a decline or loss of adaptation during the increase of age, caused by a progressive deterioration of functions and integrity. This occurs in tissues such as the skin, which presents deep ...
Los animales despliegan diferentes estrategias de forrajeo a la hora de buscar alimento para su descendencia, mostrando gran variabilidad entre especies, poblaciones e individuos. Este patrón es especialmente acusado en ...
A fundamental step in embryo development is the transition through pluripotency. There are two known sequential states of pluripotency termed naïve and primed pluripotency. Considerable efforts have been made to characterize ...
Los neuroblastomas (NB), ganglioneuroblastomas (GNB) y ganglioneuromas (GN) conforman el grupo de los tumores neuroblásticos (TN). Se trata de un grupo muy heterogéneo de tumores del desarrollo que pueden involucionar ...
This work is focused on Barrier-to-Autointegration Factor (BAF) protein. BAF is a nuclear envelope (NE) component that binds chromatin and is required for NE reassembly (NER) at mitosis exit. Previous work in our group ...
Esta tesis consiste en el estudio de la regulación por microRNAs del proceso de metástasis de carcinomas ductales invasivos de mama. Hemos encontrado una expresión alterada de varios microRNAs en muestras tumorales, ...
[eng] In this thesis, our focus was on unraveling how Caenorhabditis elegans samples its environment in the absence of gradients and food resources. We analyzed data from a relocation experiment in which individual worms, ...
Despite their small size, phytoplankton represents up to 50% of the global primary production of the Earth and serves as a connector between oceanic and atmospheric processes. Therefore, phytoplankton constitutes a central ...
[eng] Neonatal arterial ischemic stroke (NAIS) is a cerebrovascular disease that shows a focal disruption of cerebral blood flow due to artery obstruction. Due to its early onset, it can cause long-lasting outcomes such ...
El trastorn per dèficit d’atenció amb hiperactivitat (TDAH) és un trastorn del neurodesenvolupament caracteritzat per símptomes d’inatenció i/o hiperactivitat/impulsivitat. Nombrosos estudis suggereixen un important component ...
Fisheries management has definitively embraced the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) philosophy and new management policies are incorporating integrative measures that take into account not only target species but also ...
[eng] Precision medicine aims to provide personalized patient care using genetic data. However, interpreting the phenotypic consequences of genetic variants remains a bottleneck in both clinical and research settings. ...
The present dissertation addresses the study of the diversity, systematics, biogeography and evolutionary history of squat lobster superfamily Galatheoidea, founded on integrative taxonomy criteria. Squat lobsters are a ...
[eng] Ecosystem biomonitoring is crucial for proper management of natural communities during the Anthropocene era. With the advent of new sequencing technologies, DNA metabarcoding has been proposed as a game-changing tool ...
