The Spatial Limitations of Current Neutral Models of Biodiversity
The unified neutral theory of biodiversity and biogeography is increasingly accepted as an informative null model of community composition and dynamics. It has successfully produced macro-ecological patterns such as species-area relationships and species abundance distributions. However, the models employed make many unrealistic auxiliary assumptions. For example, the popular spatially implicit...
متن کاملCurrent Limitations of Murine Models in Oncology for Ascorbate Research
The role of vitamin C (ascorbate) in cancer prevention, tumor growth, and treatment is of intense public interest. Clinical trial data have been sparse, contradictory, and highly controversial, and robust pre-clinical data are required for progress. This paper reviews pre-clinical models and their limitations with respect to ascorbate research. Most studies have utilized animals able to synthes...
متن کاملBootstrap Current Coefficients in Stellarators
A method to derive analytical expressions for bootstrap current coefficients is studied. The drift kinetic equation is divided into two parts corresponding to the effects of local and global structures of magnetic fields. The divided transport coefficients can be approximated by connecting the results of only three types of asymptotic expansions of the divided equations. The current coefficient...
متن کاملOvarian cancer mouse models: a summary of current models and their limitations
Development of mouse models representing human spontaneous ovarian cancer has been hampered by the lack of understanding of the etiology of this very complex disease. Mouse models representing the different types of ovarian cancer are needed to understand how epithelial ovarian cancer differs from granulosa cell tumors. Many different methods have been used to generate a viable genetic model wi...
متن کاملToxicity of Nanoparticles and an Overview of Current Experimental Models
Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field having potential applications in many areas. Nanoparticles (NPs) have been studied for cell toxicity, immunotoxicity, and genotoxicity. Tetrazolium-based assays such as MTT, MTS, and WST-1 are used to determine cell viability. Cell inflammatory response induced by NPs is checked by measuring inflammatory biomarkers, such as IL-8, IL-6, and tumor necrosi...
