Study of the diffusive properties of extracellular matrix gels used in 3D cultures

Galgoczy, Roland (Date of defense: 2013-12-03)

The extracellular matrix (ECM) hinders diffusion in both tissues and hydrogels used in 3D cultures. However, how geometric and non-geometric ECM properties contribute to diffusion hindrance remains poorly understood. To ...

Study of viscoelasticity and adhesion of human alveolar epithelial cells by atomic force microscopy. The importance of probe geometry

Rico Camps, Félix (Date of defense: 2006-01-27)

During the last century, cellular biology has been mostly assessed from the biochemical point of view: studying how biochemical stimuli modify the biochemical composition of living cells. However, most of the cells that ...

TGF-ß-regulated genes implicated in invasion that might participate in the control of apoptosis in liver tumor cells

Mainez Villoro, Jessica (Date of defense: 2012-05-16)

In the last years our research has been focused on analyzing the signaling pathways induced by TGF-β in liver tumor cells, to understand the molecular mechanisms that confer resistance to its suppressor effects. TGF-β ...

Time course of biochemical, biomechanical, and histological changes for the assesment of inflammation and remodelling in a bleomycin-induced murine model of lung injury

Pinart Gilberga, Mariona (Date of defense: 2009-09-17)

Las enfermedades pulmonares intersticiales difusas (EPID), constituyen un grupo variado de trastornos inflamatorios difusos de las vías aéreas inferiores causadas por inflamación, fibrosis (cicatritzación) de las paredes ...
