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

“…However, many patients with SpA may have extra-articular manifestations within the skin and gut. Pathology of SpA in all of these tissues has been shown in recent studies to be driven by local resident populations of interleukin (IL)-23 responsive cells. …”

The embodied, relational self: extending or rejecting the mind? by Gough, J

“…I examine whether this is so, by considering whether the identification of self and mind can be saved by recent views of the mind according to which it is partly constituted by aspects of the body other than the brain and by the world beyond the skin. I argue that it cannot, before considering what this means for the mind and its relationship to selves and persons.…”

Valley-optical absorption in planar transition metal dichalcogenide superlattices by Hashemi, R., Shojaei, S., Rezaei, B., Liu, Zheng

“…By calculating the effective mass for different bands and using the Drude-Lorentz model, our approach is able to determine the oscillator strength and the effective refractive index of the structure. We found that the spin-orbit coupling has important effect on the absorption coefficient and energy bands where it reduces the absorption coefficient of the structure from typical value of [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text], also the valence band experiences a significant blue shift, while the conduction band shows minor changes due to spin orbit coupling. …”
