Information about which fisheries within each region...
Increased coastal development poses a potential threat to nearshore habitats in Alaska, and artificial reefs (AR) are an increasingly popular tool for mitigating habitat loss. Although well studied in tropical and temperate locations, less is known about AR efficacy in high latitude locations. Since ARs are heavily influenced by ecological...
Aging is a process that all living species experiences and it also is greatly to study and understand the aging process with the aim of extending human life span. Protein homeostasis is one of the main hall mark of aging. Based on previous data, it observed that cells from long...

Risk factors for prostate cancer include age, black race, and family history of prostate cancer. In addition, healthful diet and lifestyle may affect risk of prostate...
Biomass pretreatment-derived degradation compounds, such as furfural and 5-hydroxymethyl-furfural (HMF),inhibit the growth of fermentation microorganisms that utilize biomass to produce biofuels and chemicals. Here we report that manganese(III) can degrade furfural and HMF, making them less toxic to microorganisms. Treatment with manganese(III) reduced furfural and HMF concentrations in a dose-dependent...
