[spa] La adolescencia es una etapa trascendental en la vida de las personas, la adquisición de hábitos saludables en ese período contribuirá a una mejor calidad de vida. La salud cardiometabólica y su relación con la salud ...
This thesis addresses three different subjects closely related. First, a phenotypic screening measuring cytotoxicity in the gastric cancer cell line HGC-27 is reported. Next, a targeted-based assay measuring the activity ...
Desde los años 90 numerosos han sido las contribuciones de la comunidad científica en aras a minimizar el impacto de los EM en la salud pública presentándose múltiples propuestas desde otras tantas perspectivas para que ...
Circadian rhythms regulate tissue physiology throughout the day in response to environmental cues. The primary entraining cue for the mammalian circadian clock is light, which is perceived by the retina and transmitted to ...
The aim of this project is to structurally characterize proteins involved in bacterial signal transduction systems by applying X-ray crystallography. Bacteria use signal transduction systems to react in response to any ...
[eng] In this thesis manuscript entitled “Single molecule electrochemical studies of photosynthetic complexes” I study the Photosystem I (PSI) protein complex to characterize fundamental processes of the PSI function. PSI ...
El estrato córneo (SC) es la capa más superficial de la epidermis. Su función es actuar como barrera, evitando la pérdida de agua y la entrada de microorganismos. El SC está formado por corneocitos rodeados por lípidos que ...
En la present Tesi Doctoral s’ha desenvolupat una metodologia sintètica per accedir a compostos policíclics complexos funcionalitzats de manera senzilla i eficaç, amb l’objectiu de poder generar a partir d’aquests un alquè ...
[eng] Concurrent or consecutive enzymatic cascade reactions have received special attention in the development of synthetic strategies for complex molecules. The advantage of these strategies is that they eliminate the ...
Esta tesis doctoral está enfocada a la investigación de nuevos agentes con potencial actividad antiinflamatoria y antitumoral mediante la inhibición de enzimas básicas para la progresión de la inflamación como la ciclooxigenasa ...
Dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, described by intensive pruritus and eczematous lesions of skin. In most of the patients with Dermatitis, a long-lasting cycle of itch-scratch roots produces substantial ...
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has emerged as a promising alternative host for recombinant protein expression. Despite its advantageous characteristics and low-cost production, its use is hampered by low expression levels of ...
Determining and understanding protein structure in atomic detail is a fundamental process to the advancement of biotechnology and biomedicine, shedding light the role of macromolecules and their complexes, their biological ...
El receptor de glucocorticoides (GR) es un factor de transcripción que se expresa de forma ubicua y controla procesos esenciales para la vida como el metabolismo, la inflamación y la homeostasis. Aunque se han publicado ...
Zika virus (ZIKV) belongs to the Flaviviridae family and constitute an important public health concern since ZIKV infection produced devastating effects in new born infants. Flaviviruses present a positive sense single ...
[eng] Cholera is an acute life-threatening infection caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, a devastating pathogen in least developed countries, which caused six world pandemics, apart from the ongoing one. Despite current ...
Androgen receptor is a transcription factor that plays a key role in prostate cancer development and progression. Its N-terminal intrinsically disordered activation domain is an example of ill- structured negatively charged ...
The present thesis is divided in three different but related projects. In the first project, the interaction between TGIF1 and SMAD proteins is investigated. TGIF1 is a transcriptional suppressor that prevents the gene ...
Adenosine deaminase acting on tRNAs (ADAT) is a eukaryotic heterodimer, composed by ADAT2 and ADAT3, that catalyses the deamination of adenosine-to-inosine in the anticodon loop of tRNAs. ADAT proteins are essential for ...
[eng] We investigated the structure function relationship of PorX by combined biophysical experiments and enzymatic assays. As a regulator of the type 9 secretion system (T9SS) of the human pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis ...
