BackgroundCXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is associated with the progression and metastasis of numerous malignant tumors.However, its relationship with Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Grade 3 (GEP-NENs G3) is unclear.The aim of this study was to characterize the expression of CXCR4 in GEP-NENS and to explore the clinical and progno
Abstract Modelling insulin-glucose homeostasis may provide novel functional insights.In particular, simple models are clinically useful if they yield diagnostic methods.Examples include the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) and the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI).However, limitations of these approaches have been criticised.
Intensive production systems have damaged many natural ecosystems and have altered their capacity to provide ecosystem services such as climate regulation, soil fertility, and vector-borne disease control.Therefore, these agroecosystems are unsustainable and poorly resilient.However, traditional agroforestry systems (TAS) contribute to the conserva
