Dendritic cells (DCs) play a fundamental role in the initiation and regulation of adaptive immune responses. Thcse cells can, in an antigcn-specific manner, either prevent or promote adaptive immunity. DCs are specialized antigen presenting cells with the unique ability to prime antigen-specific ...

The adaptive immune response consists of a highly specialized system of cells and molecules that are able to recognize and destroy specific invading pathogens without affecting the host's own tissues. However, in sorne situations adaptive immune response is directed against self-tissues, such as ...

The immune system has an important role in recognizing and eliminating a huge number of foreign antigenic molecules potentially harmful to the organism, such as pathogens andmalignant cells. One of the cell types that contribute to this process are the effector CD8+cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). ...

Una mejor caracterización de los espacios porosos y una mejor comprensión de los fenómenos de flujo y transporte en estos espacios es fundamental para analizar, diseñar y optimizar una gran variedad de procesos y tecnologías de interés práctico, como son la recuperación de gas y petróleo de yacim...

Oral diseases, such as dental caries, are a major health problem worldwide. Even though the prevalence of dental caries in children of Western countries has declined considerably in the last three decades, the disease has now become concentrated in a small group of children. Only a small proporti...

The thesis studies the processes involved in the consolidation of musical practices of Hispanic origin in the city of Asunción, Paraguay during the colonial period, focusing on spatial mobility and indigenous musicians. The peculiarities of this scarcely "urban" city, ranging from its location an...

La tesis trata sobre los procesos involucrados en la consolidación de las prácticas musicales de origen hispano en la ciudad de Asunción del Paraguay durante el período colonial, centrando su atención en la movilidad espacial y los indígenas músicos. Las particularidades de esta ciudad escasament...

En las últimas décadas las nanoestructuras del tipo core@shell han sido ampliamente utilizadas en el campo de la Catálisis Heterogénea. Este tipo de materiales se caracterizan por poseer un núcleo (core) recubierto por una o más capas (shell), formando una estructura con diferentes componentes fu...

In the last decades, core@shell nanostructures have been widely used in heterogeneous catalysis. Characteristic features of these materials are the presence of a core covered by one or more shell forming a functional multi-component structure integrated in a single unity. Core@shell structures ha...
