• Intrinsic and environmental influences on DNA methylation and gene expression in fish

  Anastasiadi, Dafni (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2016-11-14)

  Epigenetic mechanisms, influenced by intrinsic and environmental factors are crucial for the regulation of gene expression and, ultimately, the phenotype. The European sea bass is used as a model to study these influences ...
• Characterization of the role of the CPEB family of RNA-binding proteins in neurodegeneration

  Anta Rodríguez, Héctor (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2016-12-15)

  Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia in the elderly. It is associated to a progressive loss of memory, problems in learning and behaviour changes. This disease is characterized by the accumulation ...
• The Role of Msi2 in adult and embryonic hematopoiesis

  Andrés Aguayo, Luisa de (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2017-05-05)

  The life-long production of blood cells is enabled by hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) residing in the bone marrow. An understanding of the genes that control how HSPCs work to sustain the continued production ...
• Characterization of the human sperm centrosome and its role in (in)fertility

  Amargant i Riera, Farners (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2018-07-19)
