Using the CIPP Model to elicit perceptions of health professions faculty and students about virtual learning by Sakineh Gerayllo, Mohammadali Vakili, Leila Jouybari, Zahra Moghadam, Ali Jafari, Alireza Heidari

“…Results The scale items for each of the CIPP components that elicited the highest levels of agreement by both professors and students were as follows based on a five point scale where higher scores indicated higher levels of respondent agreement: Context: Topics presented in the virtual training are determined according to the course plan (3.63), and virtual education reduces the teacher's control over class (3.56); Input: Designated hours are suitable for virtual learning classes (3.29); Process: Professors have less commitment and responsibility in providing virtual courses (3.48); and Product: Student participation in virtual classes is low (3.78), and virtual learning saves time (3.67).” …”

LLT1 overexpression renders allogeneic-NK resistance and facilitates the generation of enhanced universal CAR-T cells by Shuxian Zhu, Shiyu Zuo, Chuo Li, Xingjie You, Erlie Jiang, Xiaoming Feng, Yuechen Luo

“…However, the prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and host-versus-graft reaction (HVGR) remains challenging. Deleting class I of human leukocyte antigen (HLA-I) and class II of human leukocyte antigen (HLA-II) can prevent rejection by allogeneic T cells; however, natural killer (NK) cell rejection due to the loss of self-recognition remains unresolved. …”
