The study of the non-crustacean invertebrates dwelling on the deep Mediterranean Sea is of interest for different marine science disciplines, being the diversity of species and their distributions largely unexplored. In ...
The histone variant macroH2A is the only structural chromatin component containing a macrodomain. In vertebrates, two genes and one event of alternative splicing give rise to three macroH2A proteins that differ in their ...
Microtubules (MTs) mediate a range of essential cellular processes including cell division, intracellular transport and organelle positioning, by forming specifically adapted arrays. Assembly, maintenance and remodelling ...
The Sirtuin family of NAD+-dependent enzymes plays a key role in the maintenance of genome integrity upon stress. Sirtuins coordinate the response to different forms of stress at different levels and have been involved ...
It has been previously shown that the Drosophila heterochromatin protein 1c (HP1c) forms a complex with the transcription factors (TF) WOC and ROW, and the extraproteasomal ubiquitin receptor dDsk2. The HP1c-complex localizes ...
In the northwestern Mediterranean Sea, anglerfishes Lophius budegassa Spinola, 1807 and Lophius piscatorius Linnaeus, 1758 are among the most valuable demersal species and support an important fishery. Both anglerfishes ...
The availability of most edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms depends on their natural fructification. Therefore, mycorrhizal plant production could be an alternative for obtaining ectomycorrhizal edible fungi. The first step ...
Monoamine Neurotransmitter diseases are a rare group of inherited disorders of metabolism that encompass 12 different genetic defects leading to abnormal dopamine and/or serotonin brain homeostasis. They correspond to ...
Trastuzumab-emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-cytotoxic agent (DM1) conjugated drug. DM1 delivery by trastuzumab inside the HER2 positive cells affects microtubule polymerization, cell cycle arrest and finally cell death. ...
[eng] For this purpose, Spatial Analysis of Functional Enrichment (SAFE) framework was proposed to uncover functional regions in a network by embedding it in 2-dimensions (2D) using the Spring embedding algorithm. However, ...
Aneuploidy, defined as a chromosome number that deviates from a multiple of the haploid set, is a common feature in human cancer, and around 70% of human solid tumours are aneuploid. The resulting metabolic imbalance is ...
Understanding the mechanisms and processes driving biological com- munities assembly, i.e. determining why a specific community is found under certain circumstances, is one of the fundamental questions in ecology. The ...
Understanding the connection between DNA organization in the nucleus, and cell functioning is one of the most intriguing problems in biology. Although many interdisciplinary efforts have been developed for this aim, the ...
Patients with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) in whom a causative pathogenic variant is not identified after genetic analysis may not benefit from prevention, early detection, or precision treatment measures. ...
B lymphopoiesis is the result of several cell lineage choices and differentiation steps whose perturbation leads to B cell malignancies. Cellular transitions for B cell generation have been associated with gene activation ...
[eng] Lysinuric Protein Intolerance (LPI) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the SLC7A7 gene, which encodes the y+LAT1 transporter. LPI presents a pleiotropic phenotype that varies among patients, ...
En esta tesis se investiga la utilidad de diferentes bioensayos basados en el uso de líneas celulares (peces/humanas) y fracciones subcelulares, para la caracterización del riesgo ambiental que diversos contaminantes ...
[eng] Mutations exhibit an uneven distribution across the human genome, with a regional mutation density (RMD) influenced by chromatin landscapes and replication timing. While there is a good understanding of this variation, ...
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a celltargeted autoimmune disease, leading to a reduction in pancreatic cell mass that renders patients insulindependent for life. In early stages of the disease, cells from the immune system ...
