DISTRIBUTION AND DIVERSITY OF AQUATIC MACROINVERTEBRATE ASSEMBLAGES IN A SEMI-ARID REGION EARMARKED FOR SHALE GAS EXPLORATION (EASTERN CAPE KAROO, SOUTH AFRICA).

Distribution and diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages in a semi-arid region earmarked for shale gas exploration (Eastern Cape Karoo, South Africa).

This study aims to investigate macroinvertebrate assemblage structure and composition across the three major waterbody types (temporary rivers, depression wetlands and semi-permanent dams) of the Eastern Cape Karoo, and to identify important environmental and spatial correlates of macroinvertebrate assemblage composition in the region.A total of 33

Interaction between cellular retinoic acid-binding protein II and histone hypoacetylation in renal cell carcinoma

Renal cell carcinoma is a rare but serious malignancy.Since a reduction in the level of retinoic acid receptor beta 2 (RARbeta2) expression in cancer cells due in part to histone hypoacetylation which is controlled by histone deacetylase (HD), the study on the interaction between cellular retinoic acid-binding proteins II (CRABP II), which is propo
