The transcriptional coactivator Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a major regulator of organ size and proliferation in vertebrates. As such, YAP can act as an oncogene several tissue types if its activity increased aberrantly. Although no activating mutations the yap1 gene have been identified human cancer, located on 11q22 amplicon, which amplified tumors. In addition, or epigenetic silencing members Hippo pathway, represses function, cancers. Here we demonstrate that, addition to increasing...
This is the eighth such annual horizon scan. An international team with expertise in scanning, science communication, and conservation research, practice, policy identified 15 issues, following widespread consultation a Delphi-like scoring process to identify most important. The issues were wide ranging, include sand extraction, blockchain technology, use of robotics combat invasive species, new developments energy storage fuel production. We present results our scan emerging likely affect...
Climate change has significant impacts on species' distributions and diversity patterns. Understanding range shifts changes in richness gradients under climate is crucial for conservation. The Tibetan Plateau, home to wild yak, chiru, kiang, contains a biome with many endemic ungulates. It highly sensitive region that merits particular attention regard the of global its biomes. Maximum entropy approaches were used estimate current future potential distributions, response change, 22 ungulate...
Global climate change appears to be one of the main threats biodiversity in near future and is already affecting distribution many species. Currently threatened species are a special concern while extent which they sensitive remains uncertain. Przewalski's gazelle (Procapra przewalskii) classified as endangered conservation focus on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Using measures range shift, we explored how may impacted by projected based maximum entropy approach. We also evaluated uncertainty...

A wide array of wildlife species, including many animals, are used in traditional medicines across medicinal systems, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Due to over-exploitation and habitat loss, the populations animals commonly TCM have declined unable meet market demand. number measures been taken try reduce impact that this large growing for may on wild animal species. Consumer preferences behavior known play an important role consumption protection medicine, thus likely be factor...
Abstract: In recent years, the purchase of snakes for leather, food, and traditional medicine has increased in China, which greatly reduced certain snake populations. Trade records show that since 1990s, with respect to some species snakes, China is changing from a net export country import country. We analyzed data on international trade species, concentrating, particular, dynamics composition. The overall number exported appears have decreased last 10 years. However, imported during this...
Commercial trade of wild birds may devastate bird populations. Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) controls the species listed its appendices to avoid these being threatened by international trade. China used be one major trading countries with significant foreign countries; other hand, is a country unique avian fauna, many Important Bird Areas critically endangered species. What role world trade? kind insights can we extract from records for...
This Letter reports on the results of experiments aimed at obtaining high-quality super-smooth surfaces by investigating laser polishing fused silica. A maximum reduction in root-mean-square roughness to 0.156 nm was achieved, and laser-polished exhibited virtually no micro-defects or damage. subsequent analysis using a multi-physics numerical model revealed underlying physical mechanism The simulated surface smoothing process demonstrated effects tension, Marangoni effect, light pressure,...

Precipitation being most influential determinant suggests importance pre-monsoon moisture for growth...
