Crocodile choline from induces apoptosis of human gastric cancer

Tumor Biology, 2017
Crocodile choline, an active compound isolated from Crocodylus siamensis , was found to exert potent anti-cancer activities against human gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Our study revealed that crocodile choline led to cell cycle arrest at the

Coastal Wetlands in the Anthropocene

Annual Review of Environment and Resources
We review the functioning and sustainability of coastal marshes and mangroves. Urbanized humans have a 7,000-year-old enduring relationship to coastal wetlands. Wetlands include marshes, salt flats, and saline and freshwater forests. Coastal wetlands occur in all climate zones but are most abundant in deltas.

Zonation of mangrove flora and fauna in a subtropical estuarine wetland based on surface elevation

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
In the context of sea‐level rise (SLR), an understanding of the spatial distributions of mangrove flora and fauna is required for effective ecosystem management and conservation.

Root Traits Predict the Soil Functional Responses of Subtropical Plant Species to Experimental Drought

Ecology and Evolution
Substantial interspecific variation in both drought responses and soil functioning among woody species poses significant challenges for predicting drought impacts on soil functioning in species‐rich tropical and subtropical forests.
