Heavy metal accumulation and changes in phenylpropanoid metabolism induced by mining activities in leaves of Pinus nigra and Pinus eldarica

Plants can absorb pollutants produced through industrial activities.In this research, biochemistry and lignin biosynthesis processes are studied in Pinus nigra and P.eldarica trees, that were exposed to pollutants from Sarcheshmeh copper complex and from the lagoon (snes Kentuiyeh ascontrol area (both Iran).Needles were collected in areas adjacent

Identifying genetic relationships among tarsier populations in the islands of Bunaken National Park and mainland Sulawesi.

Eastern tarsiers (Tarsius tarsier complex) are small nocturnal primates endemic to Sulawesi Island and small adjacent islands of Indonesia.In 2004, the hybrid biogeography hypothesis predicted this species complex might contain 16 or more taxa, each corresponding to a region of endemism, based on: 1) geological evidence of the development of the ar

Novel immune scoring dynamic nomograms based on B7-H3, B7-H4, and HHLA2: Potential prediction in survival and immunotherapeutic efficacy for gallbladder cancer

BackgroundGallbladder cancer (GBC) is a mortal malignancy with limited therapeutic strategies.We aimed to develop novel immune scoring systems focusing on B7-H3, B7-H4, and HHLA2.We further investigated their potential clinical effects in lagoon (snes predicting survival and immunotherapeutic efficacy for GBC.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort
