The critical role of IL-23 receptor positive T cells in the pathogenesis of anterior uveitis associated with spondyloarthropathy by Hedley, R

“…Consistent with the concept of IL-23 being a unifying factor in SpA, I show that like the gut, skin, and joints - IL-23 can also act locally on a resident IL-23 responsive cells to drive pathology within the eye.…”

Neutron emission studies from miniature and medium size plasma focus device by Singh, Rajdeep Raweet.

“…Although dense plasma focus devices have attracted the attention of scientific community since 1960’s as a copious source of fusion neutrons but in the recent years owing to spin-off in the applications of compact and portable table top neutron sources in wider domain, like noninvasive interrogation of explosives and narcotic drugs (by using Pulsed Fast/Thermal Neutron Analysis (PFTNA) technique), dark matter research, radioisotope production, medical neutron therapy and soil humidity measurements, there has been renewed interest across the globe for the development of sub-kilojoule range, low energy small plasma focus device (hereafter called ‘Miniature Plasma Focus i.e. …”
