[eng] Sunscreen application is one of the best methods to prevent erythema, keratogenic cancer, melanoma and premature skin ageing. UV filters are the active substances preventing the harmful effects. Commercial UV filters ...
Arabidopsis thaliana is a small ruderal weed with prominent north-hemisphere distribution. It has an autogamous style of reproduction, whereas about 3% of the natural population can exhibit outcrosses. Some of these ...
Glycogen is a branched polysaccharide that serves as an intracellular store of glucose that can be mobilized to maintain homeostasis or to fuel cellular processes. Glycogen is synthesized by glycogen synthase, which is ...
G proteins transduce a myriad of signals from receptors at the plasma membrane. Recent reports point to a novel localization of G proteins at the mitochondria and other endomembranes where they regulate the physiology of ...
The health promoting attributes associated with following a traditional Mediterranean diet have been reviewed extensively. The principal source of dietary fat in the Mediterranean diet is Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) that ...
Tumor-stroma crosstalk is essential for PDAC formation. Therefore, the stroma, and specifically the carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), are the target of therapeutic alternatives to treat highly desmoplastic tumors ...
Inflammatory bowel disorders – such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – are rising worldwide. A well-known feature of IBD is dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, characterized by a significant reduction of beneficial strains ...
Las enfermedades del metabolismo energético mitocondrial son un grupo de patologías con una gran heterogeneidad clínica, bioquímica y genética. Aunque en la última década la implementación de las técnicas de “Next generation ...
[eng] Transcriptional regulation is a multifaceted and fundamental process, which underpins normal physiology, and its dysregulation is associated to numerous pathologies. Using two inherently different transcriptional ...
INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary manifestations are the main cause of morbidity and mortality in more than 90 % of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients who exceed the neonatal period. The chronic immune-inflammatory process, exacerbated ...
Mitofusins (MFN1/2) have been demonstrated to play a role in several mitochondrial functions such as mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergetics, interorganelle communication, immune response, autophagy, cell cycle progression, ...
Breast Cancer (BCa) is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide. It is a very heterogeneous disease at the histological, molecular and clinical level. Consequently, different classifications are used for stratifying ...
[eng] I have used the brain tumours that originate in Drosophila larvae upon depletion of the brain tumor (brat) gene as a model to study neoplastic malignant growth. I have used genetic analysis to interrogate the Drosophila ...
Discrimination between foreign and potentially harmful antigens, and the body’s own tissue is one of the most crucial first steps that lays at the basis of a proper immune response. Immunoreceptors are cell membrane embedded ...
A number of recent studies in animals and humans have linked energy regulation and the circadian clock at the molecular, physiological and behavioral levels, concluding that disruption of clock genes results in metabolic ...
Las enfermedades cardiovasculares se desarrollan como consecuencia de la interacción entre factores genéticos y ambientales. Los factores de riesgo cardiovascular son una serie de condiciones que favorecen la aparición de ...
In the context of facilitated methodologies for the obtention of bioactive compounds, in this thesis we have explored the possibility of introducing reliable, pot-economic and semi-synthetic approaches in the quest of ...
El trasplante de islotes ha sido reconocido como una prometedora opción de tratamiento de la diabetes tipo 1 (DT1) tras la introducción del protocolo de Edmonton, el cual enfatiza el requerimiento de un adecuado número de ...
It is widely known that the development of modern chemistry and the consequent world industrialization have improved our quality of life to unimaginable levels. However, these advances have come with a high cost, causing ...
INTRODUCCIÓN: La obesidad grave es una enfermedad crónica que se caracteriza por un exceso de grasa corporal, que condiciona un aumento de la morbimortalidad. La cirugía bariátrica es el tratamiento de elección cuando ha ...
