Reconstructing the growth process of Qiangtang terrane in space and time is crucial for understanding geological evolution Central Tibet. However, its dynamic mechanism remain unclear. Here, we present new fission track data obtained along a N-S transect near Puruo Kangri Mountain central zone Northern terrane. The completely reset apatite ages detrital samples range from 65.1 to 89.6 Ma, which...

background: in the modern lifestyle, the increase in cancer and related chronic disorders is a major public health problem. in spite of different methods used for the treatment of these conditions, natural medicines have high demands due to their significant effects as immune enhancement and therapeutic agents and fewer side effects in comparison with other treatment methods. hence, this study ...

cancer has been always in a great attention in the field of molecular biology. by applying    large-scale tools such as advanced proteomics, cancer diagnosis and treatment have been improved greatly since. cancers of esophagus, gastric, and colon accounted for major health problem globally. biomarker panel could bring out the accuracy for cancer evaluation tests as it can suggest a group of can...
