Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor after Transfection of Human Neural Stem Cells with the Lentiviral Vector Encoding the VEGF165 Gene
We examined the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and characteristics of human neural stem cells after transfection with the lentiviral vector encoding the VEGF 165 gene. The latter gene was...

Open AccessHealthy and diseased corticospinal motor neurons are selectively transduced upon direct AAV2-2 injection into the motor cortex
Direct gene delivery to the neurons of interest, without affecting other neuron populations in the cerebral cortex, represent a challenge owing to the heterogeneity and cellular complexity of the brain. Geneti...

Performance versus informativeness in linear-quadratic Gaussian noncooperative games
In this paper, we study the impact of informativeness on the performance of linear quadratic Gaussian Nash and Stackelberg games. We first show that, in two-person static Nash games, if one of the players acqu...
