Sulforaphane causes epigenetic repression of hTERT expression in human breast cancer cell lines.
Sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables, is a common dietary component that has histone deacetylase inhibition activity and exciting potential in cancer prevention.The mechanisms by which SFN imparts its chemopreventive properties are of considerable interest and Antidandruff Shampoo little is known of its preventive p
EERA: An Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation Strategy for Mobile Cloud Workflows
Mobile cloud computing (MCC) which can invoke cloud services and offload tasks from the mobile device to the cloud has become an appropriate computing paradigm to provide many useful and complex workflow applications.However, offloading tasks needs extra communication time and energy, which leads to a conflict between saving the energy and improvin
