Development of C75-CoA loaded polymeric micelles targeting brain CPT1A: A novel nanomedicine-based approach to fight obesity and cancer
(Date of defense: 2024-02-14)Brain lipid metabolism has a key role in many physiological processes, and its malfunction is associated with a plethora of diseases, such as obesity and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Carnitine palmitoyl ... -
Development of novel bioinks formulations based on supramolecular self-assembled hydrogels for tissue regeneration.
(Date of defense: 2023-05-16)The field of tissue engineering relies on the use of biomaterials as scaffolds for tissue and organ regeneration. If properly designed, these scaffolds can mimic the in vivo microenvironment while also ... -
Development of sol-gel silica-based 3D printable materials with tunable degradation, mechanical properties and drug release capacity for tissue engineering
(Date of defense: 2023-05-31)The bone is a very complex organ that participates in multiple critical functions for the human body. Bone can be affected by different health issues, such as physical trauma or tumor, and the body ... -
El polifosfat és un element clau durant la replicació del DNA.
(Date of defense: 2015-11-06)Throughout its lifespan, eukaryotic cells steadily consume free cytoplasmic orthophosphate to produce phospholipids and mRNA. However, during DNA synthesis, in a matter of minutes, cells require large ... -
