Objective: Prokineticin-1 (PROK1) is a recently described protein with a wide range of functions including tissue specific angiogenesis, modulation of inflammatory responses and regulation of haematopoiesis. PROK1 has been found in the steroidogenic organs like ovary, testis, adrenal and specially placenta and they have been found to have a role in development of the olfactory system and GnRH s...

• Metallocalix[ n ]arene complexes as catalysts in numerous catalytic reactions. The presence of the calixarene cavity allows for enhanced enantioselectivity. Cross-coupling, olefin oxidation and polymerization processes are most studied. Increased attention to ROP cyclic esters produce biodegradable polymers. Large flexible calix[ ]arenes can adapt energy requirements a process. Aside from the...

Herbivory is ubiquitous. Despite being a potential driver of plant distribution and performance, herbivory remains largely undocumented. Some early attempts have been made to review, globally, how much leaf area removed through insect feeding. Kozlov et al., in one the most comprehensive reviews regarding global patterns herbivory, compiled published studies foliar removal sampled data on level...
