Screening for genetic variants associated with Familial Hypercholesterolemia: unravelling the epigenetic mechanisms leading to statin-induced Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
(2021-02-26)
La presente Tesis Doctoral tiene como objetivo estudiar como nuevas variantes genéticas de diversos genes inducen el desarrollo de hipercolesterolemia familiar, así como descifrar los mecanismos moleculares detrás de los ...
Role of Oncostatin M signalling axis in breast cancer progression: Implications in the tumour microenvironment
(2021-03-12)
El microambiente tumoral (TME) está compuesto por diferentes tipos celulares, entre los que se incluyen los fibroblastos, adipocitos, células endoteliales e inmunes, que interaccionan entre ellas de forma compleja y que, ...
Study of the Aspergillus fumigatus host-pathogen interaction using transcriptomic techniques and mutant strains generation
(2021-03-26)
Aspergillus fumigatus is a filamentous fungus capable to cause a wide range of diseases depending on the immune status of the patient who breath its conidia. The most dangerous disease caused by this fungus is known as ...
Synaptic dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease: functional and ultrastructural study of the striatal synapses in an animal model of progressive parkinsonism
(2021-02-26)
This Ph.D. project involves the temporal sequence of the earliest functional and structural events in the striatal synapses in a rat model of progressive parkinsonism induced by overexpression of human ¿-synuclein (h¿-syn) ...
Activity of carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, citral and thymol, and their monoolein-based liposomes against oral biofilm-producing Candida isolates
(2021-11-05)
Las candidiasis orales son infecciones fúngicas comunes, causadas principalmente por Candida albicans. Sin embargo, actualmente otras especies de Candida menos sensibles a los fármacos antifúngicos han aumentado su ...
Micro and Macro-Evolutionary Studies in Non-Model Species: a Transcriptomic Perspective in Teleosts
(2021-12-21)
Los recursos genómicos y las herramientas bioinformáticas son muy escasas en especies no modelo. ElRNA-Seq puede ser una herramienta efectiva para generar tales recursos genómicos con el objetivo derevelar la variación ...
Optimizing pharmacotherapy in the elderly using modelling and simulation methods. Application to Bilastine
(2021-11-29)
This research project was designed to acquire a deeper knowledge on how physiological changes during aging mayaffect the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). Elderly adults are a vulnerable population due to ...
Characterization of the Isoforms of the Multiple Sclerosis Risk Protein, IL-22 Binding Protein (IL-22BP)
(2021-05-21)
The human IL22RA2 gene co-produces three protein isoforms in dendritic cells (IL-22 binding protein isoform-1 [IL-22BPi1], -2 [IL-22BPi2], and -3 [IL-22BPi3]). Two of these, namely, IL-22BPi2 and IL-22BPi3, are capable of ...
