Hydrolysis of Cellulose Selectively into Glucose Over Sulfonated Activated-Carbon Catalyst Under Hydrothermal Conditions
A sulfonated activated-carbon (AC-SO3H) catalyst selectively hydrolyzes cellulose with β-1,4-glycosidic bonds into glucose in the catalytic hydrothermal reactions at temperatures around 423 K. The AC-SO3H catalys...

c-Myc suppression of miR-23a/b enhances mitochondrial glutaminase expression and glutamine metabolism
c-Myc is an oncogene involved in many forms of cancer. Proteomic analysis of human P-493 B lymphoma cells and PC3 prostate cancer cells shows that c-Myc regulates the microRNAs miR-23a and miR-23b to increase ...
