The role of calcium dependent neurotransmission in axon path finding, myelination and maintenance of specified cortical projection neuron populations by Korrell, K

“…<p>The thesis examines the mechanisms involved in regulation of myelination during mammalian cortical development and the subsequent maintenance of the myelin in cortical projection neurons during adult life. Myelin in the central nervous system is produced by oligodendrocytes to ensure fast saltatory conduction of action potentials at the nodes of Ranvier, the gaps left by myelin. …”

Enhancement of lentiviral vector production through alteration of virus-cell interactions by Gelinas, J

“…Investigation of the published HIV-1 literature revealed a possible 152 candidate inhibitory factors described as having a negative impact on HIV-1 replication in the late stages of the life cycle of the virus. A novel siRNA screen was developed to assess the effect of ‘knock-down’ of inhibitory factors on lentiviral vector titre. …”

Expressions of grief on the early modern stage by Welch, K

“…</p> <p>Performances of theatrical mourning thus occur displaced in time, preemptive requests for a death not to happen rather than the belated wish to bring the dead back to life. Mourning in the theatre occurs out of place: testing classbased mourning scripts; moving up and down the vertical axis of the stage; performing a transitory state of emotion through transitory gestures; deploying submissive poses that turn out to hold surprising theatrical and strategic power.…”

Fictions of youth: childness in selected West African novels, 1991-2009 by Moellenberg, T
