Interrogating the importance of x-chromosome inactivation and reactivation for meiotic potential 

Mattimoe, Tom (Fecha de defensa: 2024-12-04)

X-chromosome dosage compensation in female mammals is achieved through X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), where one X chromosome is epigenetically silenced to ensure dosage parity with male cells. During germline development, ...

Deciphering lymphoma-specific DNA methylation alterations in healthy B cells: a single-cell multiomics study 

Bianchi, Agostina (Fecha de defensa: 2024-12-03)

Recent studies have shown that clones harboring cancer driver mutations colonize our tissues as we age. It remains to be determined whether the same is true for epigenetic alterations, specifically DNA methylation (DNAm) ...

Dissecting motor behaviour alterations in Parkinson's disease using genetically modified zebrafish models 

Tzotzolaki, Tanita Maria (Fecha de defensa: 2024-12-02)

Los trastornos neurodegenerativos como la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) implican la degeneración progresiva del sistema nervioso, lo que provoca alteraciones tanto motoras como cognitivas. La EP afecta a millones de personas ...

Decoding the regulatory grammar of hematopoiesis using synthetic enhancers 

Frömel, Robert Udo (Fecha de defensa: 2024-11-29)

During cellular differentiation, gene regulatory elements (GREs) play a crucial role in converting expression gradients of transcription factors (TF) into precise target gene activation. However, the underlying rules are ...

Novel transcription mechanisms used by dendritic cells in the tumor immune microenvironment 

Krasko, Anastasia (Fecha de defensa: 2024-11-29)

Interferon is essential for eliciting adaptive immunity against cancer cells. Type I interferon (IFNI) activates proinflammatory responses in dendritic cells (DCs) and this promotes specific anti-tumor T cell responses. ...

Equivariant graph neural networks in drug discover: from property prediction to molecule generation 

Cremer, Julian (Fecha de defensa: 2024-11-28)

Advancements in machine learning have revolutionized various aspects of drug discovery, from molecular property prediction to de novo design. This thesis presents a comprehensive exploration of equivariant graph neural ...

When P. falciparum meets the brain microvasculature: a 3D blood-brain barrier model to study cerebral malaria 

Piatti, Livia (Fecha de defensa: 2024-11-28)

La alteración de la barrera hematoencefálica está relacionada con la malaria cerebral, una complicación de la infección por Plasmodium falciparum asociada con la acumulación del parásito en los vasos sanguíneos cerebrales. ...

Machine learning methods of property prediction in drug discovery 

Schapin, Nikolai (Fecha de defensa: 2024-11-28)

Molecular properties are highly important in drug discovery with binding affinity being crucial for selecting hit and lead candidates. Existing machine learning models often lack speed for large-scale screening or lack ...

CEBPa is an orchestrator of trophectoderm specification 

Wei, Xiao (Fecha de defensa: 2024-11-27)

La bifurcación entre trofoectodermo y la masa celular interna es la decisión de desarrollo más temprana, pero cómo se inicia y en qué etapa embrionaria ocurre no se entiende completamente. Aquí describimos que el factor ...

Synaptic transcriptomic changes sensitive to pharmacological approaches in fragile X syndrome: from mouse to human 

Reyes Ramírez, Lucía de los (Fecha de defensa: 2024-11-26)

Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common monogenic cause of intellectual disability and autism, is characterized by impairment in cognitive function and synaptic plasticity. Several preclinical studies in animal models ...

Evaluation of tumor mutational burden in follicular lymphoma 

Lafuente Sánchez, Marta (Fecha de defensa: 2024-11-25)

El linfoma folicular (LF) es el subtipo más frecuente de linfoma no-Hodgkin indolente, caracterizado por un buen pronóstico a pesar de considerarse incurable. Sin embargo, algunos pacientes presentan un curso clínico más ...

Fixing a broken heart: Zebrafish as a model for heart regeneration drug discovery 

Apolínová, Kateřina (Fecha de defensa: 2024-11-20)

Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading cause of mortality, with currently available treatments addressing symptoms rather than promoting heart muscle regeneration. Cardiac regeneration strategies, inspired by ...

Genomic analysis of demographic changes in Southern Europe during Roman colonization and Late Antiquity 

Carrión, Pablo (Fecha de defensa: 2024-11-15)

The expansion of the Roman Empire throughout the Mediterranean region and West Eurasia severely shaped the world culturally and politically. This period has been traditionally studied and researched by historians and ...

Temperature impacts on mortality at different spatial and temporal scales 

Quijal-Zamorano, Marcos (Fecha de defensa: 2024-11-14)
