[eng] This research aims to study the effect of supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and antioxidants in older adults diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration or cataracts to contribute to preventive ...
Maternal obesity has implications on the health of future generations by early life programming. The mother is usually the main source of nutrients for the fetus and neonate, hence her nutritional status is crucial for ...
El alginato es un polímero aniónico ampliamente utilizado en aplicaciones farmacéuticas y biomédicas, debido a sus propiedades características como son la ausencia de toxicidad, biodegradabilidad, fácil disponibilidad, ...
[spa] Las emulsiones W/W son dispersiones de dos fases acuosas inmiscibles, que presentan la compartimentalización multifásica de las emulsiones convencionales sin requerir la presencia de solvente orgánico ni tensioactivo ...
La plasticitat sinàptica és la capacitat que té el sistema nerviós de canviar la seva estructura i funcionament al llarg del desenvolupament. En processos d’aprenentatge, es formen noves espines dendrítiques que permetran ...
El carcinoma hepatocel·lular (HCC) és la segona causa de mort relacionada amb càncer i té avui en dia opcions terapèutiques molt limitades. Tot i que el HCC s’acostuma a estudiar en estats de malaltia hepàtica molt avançats, ...
Metacaspases are a family of cysteine proteases found in lower eukaryotes and plants. They are considered to be distant relatives of caspases, present only in animals. The role of metacaspases is quite diverse, from ...
[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 ...
