Happy to share our new findings. Zinc selectively activates human CD56dim NK cells and our inital zinc score determines NK cell frequencies in the circulation www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @rwth.bsky.social
Selective impact of zinc on human circulating CD56dim NK cells
Natural Killer (NK) cells are essential for recognizing aberrant and virus-infected cells. Adequate levels of the trace element zinc are known to be i…

"After we talked through the experiment, the postdoc said, 'I think it’s time to go home and get some sleep.' He added with a smile, 'Taking a break is also hard work, you know?'
Those comments planted the seed of a new approach." #NationalPostdocAppreciationWeek https://scim.ag/4n7LNPZ
