Astaxanthin (AST) is a product made from marine organisms that has been used as an anti-cancer supplement.It reduces pontin expression and induces apoptosis in SKBR3, a breast cancer cell line.Using Western Cyber Tattoo Machines blotting and qRT-PCR analyses, this study revealed that in the T47D and BT20 breast cancer cell lines, AST inhibits expre
Abstract Background Nutrition and predation have been considered two primary agents of selection important in the evolution of avian life history traits.The relative importance of these natural selective forces in the evolution of avian embryonic developmental period (EDP) remain poorly resolved, perhaps in part because research has tended to focus
Prestress in amorphous solids bears the memory of their formation and plays a profound role in their mechanical properties.Here we develop a set of mathematical tools to investigate mechanical response of prestressed systems, using stress rather than strain as the fundamental variable.This theory allows microscopic prestress to vary for the same bo
Warming can affect soil microbial respiration by changing microbial biomass and community composition.The responses of soil microbial respiration to warming under experimental conditions are also Shower Gels related to background conditions and the experimental setup, such as warming magnitude, duration, and methods.However, the global pattern of s
