Cooking made humans evolve. Cooking modified our gastrointestinal system, reducing the gut size and energy expenditure for digestion, which enabled the appearance of a more energy-dependent brain. Cooking process have ...
[eng] Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most prevalent soft tissue sarcoma (STS) in children and adolescents. The Alveolar subtype (ARMS) is driven by PAX3-FOXO1, a fusion protein originated from a chromosomal translocation. ...
Los esteroles son una familia de compuestos triterpénicos que se presentan en forma libre o conjugada, como ésteres, glicósidos y acilglicósidos de esteroles. Cada especie vegetal tiene su propio perfil cualitativo y ...
Biocatalysis gained importance in the latter half of the 20th century and its application in the pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries continues to expand nowadays. Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions in a highly ...
anostructured supramolecular hydrogels and gold nanoparticles, as two kinds of nanomaterials, were synthsized, characterized and evaluated for their potential as drug delivery systems. Two bis-imidazolium cationic ...
[eng] The current doctoral thesis titled “Microarray Strategies for Multiplexed Immunochemical Analysis” was carried out in the context of two research projects, expecting to develop multiplexed ligand-binding assays under ...
The mitochondrial Seryl-tRNA Synthetase (SerRS2) is a member of the class II tRNA synthetase family. The mature enzyme catalyses the ligation of serine to tRNASer in mitochondria. During the process of constructing a model ...
Proteins are composed of domains, a well-defined region within a protein that constitutes a stable, independently folding, compact structural unit, and that usually performs a specific function. During protein evolution, ...
Cells often need to respond to damaging internal and external stimuli. One of the pathways that is frequently activated by stress stimuli involves activation of the kinase p38alpha, which can phosphorylate different ...
INTRODUCTION: For decades it was known that many species contain embryo specific linker histone H1 variants that replace the somatic H1 during early embryogenesis. This is especially important because the early embryo ...
[eng] This thesis addresses molecular segregation in perylene-based systems, including lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals and water-in-water emulsions. These systems offer several advantages compared to conventional ...
In this thesis, the phase behavior in water of a technical grade diglycerol-based surfactant (C41V) and a group of dyes (Quinaldine Red, Pyronin Y, N-Alkylthiacarbocyanines, Oxacarbocyanines, Pinacyanol and Alcian Blue) ...
Les proteïnes motores s’encarreguen del transport intracel·lular de cargoes a través de fibres tubulars presents en el citosquelet mitjançant la hidròlisis del trifosfat d'adenosina (ATP) com a força motriu del moviment. ...
[spa] De entre las vacunas de ácidos nucleicos, las basadas en ARNm autoreplicativos (replicones) o ARNm convencionales unidos a diferentes nanopartículas (NPs) como: oro (Au-NP), nanocápsulas (NCs), ácido poliláctico ...
The incidence of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, increases every year due to population aging. Therefore, the development of new therapeutic strategies, such as biodegradable nanostructured systems ...
The skin is major organ of the human body, and its function is to protect the internal tissue from environmental changes, maintains the body temperature and avoid penetration of contaminants. Therefore, the skin barrier ...
Despite the latest advances in early diagnosis and increased resources employed to develop new therapeutic options, effective control of cancer disease remains a challenge. In fact, cancer is the second leading cause of ...
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a devastating paediatric cancer that originates in the developing sympathetic nervous system. These tumours account for 40% of the cases of cancer diagnosed during the first year of life and 8% of the ...
Bacterial infections are a major health concern worldwide due to the mortality and comorbidity associated levels. Besides the development of drug-resistance mechanisms, most recalcitrant infections are caused by bacteria ...
Linum album is an herbaceous plant with medical interest due to its content of podophyllotoxin (PTOX), an aryltetralin lignan with cytotoxic activity. The study of biotechnological alternatives has generated big interest. ...
