HSV-1 amplicon system for human artificial chromosome formation in human ES/iPS cells and pluripotency induction by Khoja, S

“…<p>Development of safe and efficient approaches for gene delivery in human embryonic stem cells (hESc) and particularly in human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells, which can be derived in a person-specific manner, is considered to be imperative for harnessing their full potential in both the basic and applied research. …”

Controls on present-day and future rainfall over southern Africa in coupled climate models by Munday, C

“…This is a particular concern in southern Africa, where rainfall is central to socioeconomic wellbeing and where we do not understand the full complexity of the climate system. Climate models are the only tools available to estimate future rainfall change, but in the southern African summer rainfall season the latest generation of general circulation models disagree on the sign and magnitude of this change. …”
