Mitigating structural violence through legislative oversight: examining poverty alleviation programmes in Nigeria by Moyosoluwa Dele-Dada, Daniel Gberevbie, Fadeke Owolabi

“…In Nigeria, the elimination of poverty has remained a major focus of every successive government; however, more than half of its population still lives in poverty and continues to battle challenges emanating from inequality in societal structures. This study uses a secondary source to gather data and analyze the legislature’s impact on poverty alleviation in Nigeria’s fourth republic. …”

Structural evidence for the critical role of the prion protein hydrophobic region in forming an infectious prion. by Romany Abskharon, Fei Wang, Alexandre Wohlkonig, Juxin Ruan, Sameh Soror, Gabriele Giachin, Els Pardon, Wenquan Zou, Giuseppe Legname, Jiyan Ma, Jan Steyaert

“…In addition, when added to cultured mouse brain slices in high concentrations, Nb484 exhibits no neurotoxicity, which is drastically different from other neurotoxic anti-PrP antibodies, suggesting that the Nb484 can be a potential therapeutic agent against prion disease. In summary, our data provides the first structure-function evidence supporting a crucial role of the hydrophobic region of PrP in forming an infectious prion.…”
