Tibet, the Himalaya, Asian monsoons and biodiversity - In what ways are they related? [PDF]

Plant Diversity, 2017
Prevailing dogma asserts that the uplift of Tibet, the onset of the Asian monsoon system and high biodiversity in southern Asia are linked, and that all occurred after 23 million years ago in the Neogene. Here, spanning the last 60 million years of Earth

Effect of Key Phytochemicals from Andrographis paniculata, Tinospora cordifolia, and Ocimum sanctum on PLpro-ISG15 De-Conjugation Machinery—A Computational Approach

Computation, 2022
ISGylation is an important process through which interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) elicit an antiviral response in the host cells. Several viruses, including the SARS-CoV-2, suppress the host immune response by reversing the ISGylation through a process

Extinction drives a discontinuous temporal pattern of species–area relationships in a microbial microcosm system

Scientific Reports, 2023
As the most potential ecological "law", the mechanism of the species-area relationship (SAR) remains controversial. Essentially, the SAR addresses the relationship between regional area and biodiversity, shaped by speciation, extinction and dispersal ...
