The Myc proteins c-Myc and N-Myc are essential for development and tissue homoeostasis. They are up-regulated by growth factors and transmit the signal for cell growth and proliferation. Myc proteins are also prominent oncogenes in many human tumour types. Myc proteins regulate the transcription of protein-encoding mRNAs and the tRNAs and rRNA which mediate mRNA translation into protein. Myc pr...

Since the last glacial maximum, soil formation related to ice-cover shrinkage has been one major sink of carbon accumulating as organic matter (SOM), a phenomenon accelerated by ongoing global warming. In recently deglacierized forelands, processes SOM accumulation, including those that control and nitrogen sequestration rates biogeochemical stability newly sequestered carbon, remain poorly und...
