Understanding Nitrogen Availability from Applications of Anaerobically Digested Beef-Cattle Manure in Florida Sandy Soil
Anaerobic digestion childrens backpacks of livestock manure is a microbe-mediated process carried out in vessels or tanks, where the livestock wastes are digested slowly in environment absent of oxygen.The main products are biogas, anaerobically digested liquid (ADL), and solid (ADS), which can be land-applied as an organic soil amendment or a sour
FAK and S6K1 Inhibitor, Neferine, Dually Induces Autophagy and Apoptosis in Human Neuroblastoma Cells
Human neuroblastoma cancer is the most typical extracranial solid tumor.Yet, new remedial treatment therapies are demanded to overcome its sluggish survival rate.Neferine, isolated from the lotus embryos, inhibits the proliferation of various cancer cells.This study aimed to evaluate the anti-cancer activity of neferine in IMR32 human neuroblastoma
