Natural-Resource Rents and Internal Conflicts - Can Decentralization Lift the Curse? [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013
Abstract We study how natural resource rents affect the risk of internal conflict within countries and how the federal structure of countries influences this relationship. Natural resource abundance may induce excessive rent-seeking and thus increase the risk of internal conflict.

Encoded Cell‐Material Interactions to Reroute Cytokine Signaling for Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We present native MATRIX (Material Activated To Regulate Inducible gene eXpression), a co‐engineered material‐cell platform. Surfaces functionalized with antibodies for endogenous soluble ligands (e.g., IL‐1β or IL‐6) capture and immobilize ligands for presentation to a cognate, engineered synthetic Notch receptor, releasing a transcription factor (TF)
