FIVE GLUTATHIONE S-TRANSFERASE GENE VARIANTS IN 23,452 CASES OF LUNG CANCER AND 30,397 CONTROLS: META-ANALYSIS OF 130 STUDIES.

Five glutathione s-transferase gene variants in 23,452 cases of lung cancer and 30,397 controls: meta-analysis of 130 studies.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are known to abolish or reduce the activities of intracellular enzymes that help detoxify environmental carcinogens, such as those found in tobacco smoke.It has been suggested that polymorphisms in the GST genes are risk factors for lung cancer, but a large number of studies have reported apparently conflicting res

Larval salivary glue protein heterosis and dosage compensation among the interspecific F1 hybrids of Drosophila nasuta nasuta and Drosophila nasuta albomicans

Reciprocal cross effects with respect to larval salivary secretory protein levels were studied in the interspecific fertile reciprocal hybrids here by crossing Drosophila nasuta nasuta, and Drosophila nasuta albomicans.These proteins are produced copiously during the third larval instar stage and are believed to play a role in the attachment of pup

Species associated with whale sharks Rhincodon typus (Orectolobiformes, Rhincodontidae) in the Galapagos Archipelago

Whale sharks Rhincodon typus frequently appear to interact or associate with other species, which vary depending ut solution gel for cats on the community structure and the demographic of the whale sharks at each location globally.Here, we present the species sighted frequently around whale sharks in the Galapagos Archipelago and reported by dive g

Mapping dominant plant communities in the degraded Zoige swamp using Sentinel-1/2 imagery and its implications for vegetation restoration

Zoige swamp has experienced varying degrees of degradation due to human-driven drainage and global climate change.Through satellite remote sensing, existing studies have obtained data on the distribution and changes in area of degraded Zoige swamp; however, the detailed identification of constituent plant communities has not been conducted.In this
