Role of mycorrhizal associations in tree spatial distribution patterns based on size class in an old-growth forest
An important factor controlling tree species diversity is conspecific density dependence (CDD). Adult trees associated with arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) and ectomycorrhiza (ECM) can exhibit negative and positive...

Open AccessMicroRNA-1246 expression associated with CCNG2-mediated chemoresistance and stemness in pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis because of its high refractoriness to chemotherapy and tumour recurrence, and these properties have been attributed to cancer stem cells (CSCs). MicroRNA (miRNA) regulate...
