Innovación y cambio en el aula desde la complejidad formativa
Las innovaciones en la universidad son un objetivo legítimo y necesario, pero controvertido. Los cambios estructurales económicos, políticos y socioculturales se materializan en nuevos retos para una institución que tiene que responder a los retos inherentes a esos cambios y que, con matices diferentes, conforman una polifonía de temas que necesitamos abordar. Este libro quiere mostrar, en la diversidad de temáticas y prácticas que la conforman, esa polifonía diversa, incómoda, a veces, que nos cuestiona e impulsa a experimentar otros caminos.

Implementing Sustainability in Higher Education
In a time of unprecedented transformation as society seeks to build a more sustainable future, education plays an increasingly central role in training key agents of change.

In that way, a sustainable business is highly responsive to the demands and challenges from both markets and societies and managers embrace the complexity, ambivalen...
Cystogenesis
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a highly prevalent hereditary renal disorder in which fluid-filled cysts are appeared in both kidneys. Main causative genes of ADPKD are PKD1 and PKD2, encoding for polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2) respectively. Those proteins are localized on primary cilia and function as mechanosensor in response to the fluid flow, translating mechanistic stimuli into calcium signaling. With mutations either of PKD1 or PKD2, hyper-activated renal tubular epithelial cell proliferation is observed, followed by disrupted calcium homeostasis and aberrant intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation. Increased cell proliferation with fluid secreti...
