Human natural killer cell function and their interactions with dendritic cells
Vaccine, 2003Natural killer (NK) cells have long been considered as "primitive" and "non-specific" effector cells. However, the past 10 years have witnessed dramatic progress in our understanding of how NK cells function and their role in innate defenses. Thanks to specialized inhibitory receptors specific for MHC-class I molecules, they can sense the decrease or ...

Preserving Human–Nature’s Interaction for Sustainability: Quran and Sunnah Perspective
Science and Engineering Ethics, 2020Environmental sustainability is one of the contemporary discourses that has abundant values embedded in the Quran and Sunnah teachings. Islam gives great emphasis on environment as it is preserved and protected under the Maqasid al-Shariah (Objectives of the Islamic Law). The general outlook of Quranic paradigm on utilizing natural environment is based

The Intimacy of Human-Nature Interactions on Islands
2012Islands provide a place to conceptualise human-nature interactions in socio-ecological systems and to explore how such phenomena occur within decisive boundaries. Isolation, vulnerability to disruption, and constraints on the availability of natural resources add urgency to island sustainability questions with limited solution sets.

Extinction of experience: the loss of human–nature interactions
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2016Increasingly, people are becoming less likely to have direct contact with nature (natural environments and their associated wildlife) in their everyday lives. Over 20 years ago, Robert M Pyle termed this ongoing alienation the “extinction of experience”, but the phenomenon has continued to receive surprisingly limited attention.

Interaction of human natural killer cells with plasmodium-infected erythrocytes
Experimental Parasitology, 1989In the present study we have examined the interaction between the NK cells and parasitized erythrocytes. Our results indicate that Plasmodium falciparum (Pf)-infected red blood cells (RBCs) (IRBC) are poor targets for NK cells but can inhibit the lysis of K562 target cells by NK ...

Interactive effects of Na and K in killing by human natural killer cells
Experimental Cell Research, 1989Contact-mediated lysis by human natural killer cells is inhibited by a number of drugs that block the predominant K channel. In this study we have further examined the role of the K channel and the interactions between passive K and Na transport in killing.

Immunology Letters, 1983
In this current study one of the determinants of natural killer cell specificity in immunosurveillance against cancer, may be the recognition of transferrin receptors on neoplastic cells by the NK effectors. Human transferrin, when saturated with iron (FeTf), was found to inhibit human natural killer (NK) activity against K562 tumor cells, if included ...

Human/Nature Interaction in the Anthropocene Potential of Social-Ecological Systems Analysis
GAIA - Ecological Perspectives for Science and Society, 2008What are possible synergies between paradigms from the social and natural sciences? And between different strands of international research on social-ecological systems? The annual conference of the German Society for Human Ecology in Sommerhausen in May 2008 will look into these questions in detail.

An Initial Investigation of Human-Natural Turf Interaction in the Laboratory
2006It is essential to provide high quality, safe and affordable sports surfaces in order to attain the health and social benefits from sports participation. Investment, construction and research into artificial sports surfaces have increased to meet this provision (Kolitzus, 1984; Nigg & Yeadon, 1987).
