PREDICTING DECADAL TRENDS AND TRANSIENT RESPONSES OF RADIOCARBON STORAGE AND FLUXES IN A TEMPERATE FOREST SOIL

Predicting decadal trends and transient responses of radiocarbon storage and fluxes in a temperate forest soil

Representing the response of soil carbon dynamics to global environmental change requires the incorporation of multiple tools in the development of predictive models.An important tool to construct and test models is the incorporation of bomb radiocarbon in soil organic matter during the past decades.In this manuscript, we combined radiocarbon data

Inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in advanced pancreatic cancer: results of two phase II studies

Abstract Background The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway is constitutively activated in pancreatic cancer and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase is an important mediator for its signaling.Our recent in vitro studies suggest that prolonged exposure of pancreatic cancer cells to mTOR inhibitors can promote insulin receptor su
