INTEGRATIVE TAXONOMY AND PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF SPECIES LIMITS IN THE LIOLAEMUS WALKERI COMPLEX (SQUAMATA, LIOLAEMIDAE) WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF THREE NEW SPECIES FROM PERU

Integrative taxonomy and preliminary assessment of species limits in the Liolaemus walkeri complex (Squamata, Liolaemidae) with descriptions of three new species from Peru

Species delimitation studies based on integrative taxonomic approaches have received considerable attention in the last few years, and have provided the strongest hypotheses of species boundaries.We used three lines of evidence (molecular, morphological, and niche envelopes) to test for species boundaries in Peruvian populations of the Liolaemus wa

Epigenetically modulated miR-1224 suppresses the proliferation of HCC through CREB-mediated activation of YAP signaling pathway

Mounting evidence has demonstrated that microRNA-1224 (miR-1224) is 137 commonly downregulated and serves as a tumor suppressor in multiple malignancies.However, the role and mechanisms responsible for miR-1224 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear.In this study, we found that the expression of miR-1224 was downregulated in HCC.Low miR-1
