Targeting microglia with lentivirus and AAV: Recent advances and remaining challenges
Microglia have emerged as a critical component of neurodegenerative diseases. Genetic manipulation of microglia can elucidate their functional impact in disease. In neuroscience, recombinant viruses such as lentiviruses and adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have been successfully used to target various cell types in the ...

Policy Dynamics and Foreign Direct Investment Inflows in Ghana: What Are the Lessons for West African Countries?
Unlike most West African countries, Ghana has recently attracted significant flows of foreign direct investment (FDI). This article examines why Ghana attracts more FDI than its West African counterparts and how Ghana has improved its FDI attractiveness. To do so, the article uses statistical analysis to investigate th...

Tomographic measurement of the intergalactic gas pressure through galaxy–tSZ cross-correlations
ABSTRACT We cross-correlate maps of the thermal Sunyaev–Zeldovich (tSZ) Compton-y parameter published by Planck with the projected distribution of galaxies in a set of low-redshift tomographic bins. We use the nearly full-sky 2MASS Photometric Redshift and WISE × SuperCOSMOS public catalogues, covering the redshift ran...

Rna localization in bacteria
In eukaryotic cells mRNAs can be localized to specific places within a cell to achieve protein synthesis with spatiotemporal control. Recently, I and others have shown that prokaryotes can also target mRNAs to specific parts of the cell. However, these studies have been restricted to a limited number of mRNAs and were ...

The magnetic films of Co with Si/SiO2/Pt/Co/molecule structure were fabricated and their structural properties and magnetic anisotropy were investigated by varying both Co (0.5–1.8 nm) thickness and molecular capping layers of 5,6,11,12-tetraphenylnaphthacene (rubrene) and copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), respectively. Th...
