Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are major environmental pollutants in a number of point source contaminated sites, where they are found embedded in complex mixtures containing different polyaromatic compounds. The ...
[spa] En las últimas décadas la resistencia a antibióticos se ha convertido en uno de los principales problemas de salud pública a nivel global, y desde la iniciativa One-Health se han propuesto afrontar este problema, ...
La agencia europea del medicamento, EMA, y la estadounidense FDA, propusieron límites de bioequivalencia (BE) “escalada” para facilitar la declaración BE de genéricos de drogas de alta variabilidad (HVD). La ...
Mining industry faces environmental problems concerning waste management. Given the environmental issues associated with storage of mine wastes on land, one disposal option that has gained attraction is submarine tailings ...
Animal multicellular structure depends on three general mechanisms: cell adhesion, cell communication and cell differentiation. Some of these mechanisms were thought to be specific to animals. Genome sequencing of unicellular ...
La vía Wnt canónica es una vía de señalización muy conservada a lo largo de la evolución de los animales. Esta vía controla múltiples procesos como es la especificación del eje anteroposterior o el destino celular durante ...
Novel human astrovirus (HAstV) are enteric virus belonging to the Astroviridae family and were discovered 10 years ago by high-throughput sequencing. They are divided in two different clades, the HAstV-MLB including 3 ...
Melanoma is the malignant tumor arising from melanocytes and is the most aggressive of the common skin cancers. Melanoma is the tumor with the highest heritability (58%) and around 10% of cases occur in a familial context. ...
Chitin has a recognised importance in physiology but also as a biomaterial. In insects, it is the principal component of the apical extracellular matrix of epidermis, tracheae, foregut and hindgut. In these compartments, ...
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are a group of chronic diseases in which the development of the central nervous system is impaired, resulting in disability at the neuropsychiatric, motor and/or intellectual level. Some ...
In this thesis we have covered the importance of finding underlying conservation events to better understand the regulatory mechanisms of important development orchestrators like the Hox cluster. As an example of these ...
The plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum is the causal agent of bacterial wilt, a highly aggressive disease responsible for important worldwide economic losses. Many virulence factors in R. solanacearum have been already ...
The regulation of the expression of virulence genes in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is an intensively studied feature of Salmonella lifestyle. How Salmonella integrates environmental signals to activate ...
Healthcare is changing, and the era of data-driven healthcare organisations is increasingly popular. Data-Driven approaches (e.g., Machine Learning, Metaheuristics, Modelling and Simulation, Data Analytics, and Data ...
The bloom of genomic data has revealed a vast amount of gene losses across all life kingdoms. However, the impact of gene loss on the evolution of the mechanisms of embryo development remains an important challenge. In ...
[cat] El virus de l'hepatitis A (HAV) s'allibera de cèl·lules infectades principalment embolcallat en membranes de la pròpia cèl·lula, formant partícules quasi embolcallades (eHAV). Es creu que la biogènesis d’eHAV podria ...
El control de la transmisión de patógenos víricos a través de la ruta fecal-oral ha adquirido recientemente relevancia e interés público. Para mantener este control, es necesario determinar indicadores apropiados para la ...
Las tecnologías de secuenciación de próxima generación (NGS) proporcionan datos potentes para investigar cuestiones biológicas y evolutivas fundamentales, como estudios relacionados con la genómica evolutiva de la adaptación ...
Encontramos una gran cantidad de información genómica en bases de datos para numerosos organismos pero existe un sesgo hacia ciertos grupos taxonómicos por el interés económico, social o sanitario. Los avances y el ...
Els mètodes electroquímics s’estan estudiant com a mètodes alternatius pel tractament de l’aigua amb la finalitat d’eliminar-ne els contaminants, tant els microbiològics com els químics, en qualsevol punt del cicle de ...
