AbstractThe tumor suppressor p53 antagonizes tumorigenesis, notably including the suppression of T cell lymphomas while its role on physiological T cell biology including thymic T cell development has not been fully understood. Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells develop in the thymus as innate-like αβ-T cells which consist of NKT1, NKT2 and NKT17 subsets. We found that the tumor suppressor p53 regulates specifically thymic NKT17 development.

Abstract One-dimensional micromaterials are potentially applicable in various technologies, including sensor fabrications. Variations in the sensing performance of such materials can be ameliorated by their regular arrangement. For example, the materials can be aligned unidirectionally. However, controlling both their orientation and spacing remains challenging.
