Identification and partial characterization of hepatocyte-stimulating factor from leukemia cell lines: comparison with interleukin 1.

abstract：:Decision-makers increasingly seek scientific guidance on investing in nature, but biodiversity remains difficult to estimate across diverse landscapes. Here, we develop empirically based models for quantifying biodiversity across space. We focus on agricultural lands in the tropical forest biome, wherein lies the grea...
