Novel potential determinants in endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammation and insulin resistance: Apo CIII and sAPPβ
Diabetes represents one of the biggest health challenges of the 21st century. Insulin resistance is the primary defect in the most common form of diabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), and is defined as a failure in the ...
Novel preservation strategies for microbial decontamination of fresh-cut fruit and vegetables
La bioconservació, així com els mètodes químics i físics, es van avaluar per controlar patògens de transmissió alimentària en productes vegetals mínimament processats. La investigació dels mecanismes d'acció de Pseudomonas ...
Novel Printed Electroactive Devices for Environmental Monitoring
La necessitat de monitorització de sistemes ambientals s’ha establert en la nostra societat des de que l’augment de la industrialització global ha provocat una major producció de contaminants. Aquests es poden trobar en ...
Novel protocols in restoration of corroded Pb metals from Cultural Heritage artifacts
En el patrimoni cultural, es poden trobar nombrosos artefactes fabricats amb metalls dúctils, la qual cosa planteja importants reptes quan es tracta de la seva adequada conservació. Malgrat els estudis dedicats a comprendre ...
Novel pulsed optical parametric sources in the mid-infrared and the application towards high-resolution molecular spectroscopy
The mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral region coincides with fundamental rotational-vibrational transitions of a large number of molecules in the gas phase. The strong interaction between mid-IR light sources and these gaseous ...
Novel quantum phenomena and excitation modes in type-I superconductors and magnetic vortices
The aim of this thesis was to study quantum phenomena and excitation modes in type-I superconductors and magnetic vortices. The intermediate state in type-I superconductors is characterized by the gradual penetration ...
Novel Quatsome nanovesicles, prepared using CO2, for the development of advanced nanomedicines
Quatsomes are lipid-based nanovesicles developed by Nanomol group, composed of ionic surfactants and sterol derivatives. Regarding their properties, Quatsomes have shown to be highly homogenous and stable for years, important ...
Novel regimes of quantum optomechanics
In everyday life the impact of light on the motion of mechanical objects is negligible. However, modern experiments making use of high quality optical resonators are able to observe significant effects originating from the ...
Novel regulation of AMPA receptor function by interacting protein CPT1C
AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are responsible for the 90% of synaptic transmission and are involved in plasticity, developmental and neurological processes. Their function depends on the proteins interacting with the AMPAR ...
A novel regulatory unit in the N-terminal region of c-Src
c-Src is a central player in several cellular signaling pathways. It controls impor- tant cellular processes like cellular proliferation, survival or motility. Therefore, a number of tumoral diseases have been related to ...
A novel role of the c-Jun NH(2)-Terminal Kinase (JNK) in obesity-associated insulin resistance
Obesity is the most common metabolic disorder that have alarmingly increased all over the world in the last few decades. The hormone insulin is one of the major endocrine axis deregulated in obesity and will be the focus ...
Novel roles for the mitotic kinase Nek7 in hippocampal neurons
The microtubule cytoskeleton plays essential roles during cell division, migration, differentiation, defining cell morphology and organizing intracellular transport. The properties of microtubules, such as their stability, ...
