Antitumor effects of natural killer cells derived from gene-engineered human-induced pluripotent stem cells on hepatocellular carcinoma by Mayuna Nakamura, Yuka Tanaka, Keishi Hakoda, Masahiro Ohira, Tsuyoshi Kobayashi, Kenji Kurachi, Kouichi Tamura, Hideki Ohdan

“…In addition, eNK cells exhibited high cytotoxicity against HCC cell lines (HepG2, HuH7, and SNU-423), which are sensitive to NKG2D, TRAIL, and CD226. The TRAIL and perforin/granzyme B pathways are largely involved in this cytotoxic mechanism, as indicated by the reduction in cytotoxicity induced by TRAIL inhibitory antibodies and concanamycin A, which inhibits perforin/granzyme B-mediated cytotoxicity. …”

Pseudomonas evades immune recognition of flagellin in both mammals and plants. by Bart W Bardoel, Sjoerd van der Ent, Michiel J C Pel, Jan Tommassen, Corné M J Pieterse, Kok P M van Kessel, Jos A G van Strijp

“…Recognition of flagellin monomers occurs by flagellin-specific pattern-recognition receptors, such as Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) in mammals and flagellin-sensitive 2 (FLS2) in plants. Activation of these immune systems via flagellin leads eventually to elimination of the bacterium from the host. …”

Comparison of JPL and ESP Solar Proton Fluence Models Using the Background‐Subtracted RDSv2.0 Data Set by B. X. Zhu, K. Whitman, I. Jun, J. M. Ratliff

“…The models produce somewhat different results, which could be due in part to the different data sets from which they were derived. To understand the sensitivity of predicted mission fluence to the choice of data set and to the statistical distribution to which that data set is fit, we present a comparison of the JPL and ESP cumulative fluence models as reformulated from the same SEP data set, a background‐subtracted version of the Reference Data Set Version 2.0 (RDSv2.0) based on data from IMP‐8 and GOES, covering 41 years of SEP events from 1974 to 2015 with proton energies between 5 and 289 MeV. …”
