Interferon therapy shifts natural killer subsets among Egyptian patients with chronic hepatitis C
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010 Natural killer cells can be divided into five subpopulations based on the relative expression of CD16 and CD56 markers. The majority of natural killer cells are CD56dim, which are considered to be the main cytotoxic effectors.

Galactosylsphingamides : new α-GalCer analogues to probe the F’-pocket of CD1d [PDF]
, 2017 Invariant Natural Killer T-cells (iNKT-cells) are an attractive target for immune response modulation, as upon CD1d-mediated stimulation with KRN7000, a synthetic alpha-galactosylceramide, they produce a vast amount of cytokines.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract The establishment of guidelines and curriculum standards for medical physics residency training is a critical component of setting expectations and competencies for the profession. Since the last publication of these standards, residency training has become integrated into the eligibility criteria for most medical physics certification bodies.

Origin and nature of killer defects in 3C-SiC for power electronic applications by a multiscale atomistic approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 3C-SiC epitaxially grown on Si displays a large wealth of extended defects. In particular, single, double and triple stacking faults (SFs) are observed in several experiments to coexist. Overabundance of defects has so far limited the exploitation of 3C-SiC/Si for power electronics, in spite of its several ideal properties (mainly in terms of wide gap,

Lone-pair effect on carrier capture in Cu$_2$ZnSnS$_4$ solar cells [PDF]
, 2018 The performance of kesterite thin-film solar cells is limited by a low open-circuit voltage due to defect-mediated electron-hole recombination. We calculate the non-radiative carrier-capture cross sections and Shockley-Read-Hall recombination coefficients of deep-level point defects in Cu$_2$ZnSnS$_4$ (CZTS) from first-principles.
