Synergistic antitumor efficacy of suicide/ePNP gene and 6-methylpurine 2′-deoxyriboside via Salmonella against murine tumors
Some anaerobes and facultative anaerobes have been used in tumor-specific gene therapy by reason of their selective growth in tumors. In this work, we aimed to evaluate the anticancer efficacy of attenuated Salmo...

Sensitivity of an ecological model to soil moisture simulations from two different hydrological models
Although advanced land surface schemes have been developed in the past decade, many biosphere models still use the simple bucket model, partly due to its efficiency when it is coupled with an CGCM model. In th...
