Recently, DETCs have also been found to contribute to cancer immunosurveillance. Tumor cell surface NKG2D molecules trigger TCRs of DETCs, and activate anti-tumor molecule (e.g. IFN-γ) expression.

Molecular Biology is the field of biology that studies the composition, structure and interactions of cellular molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins that carry out the biological ...

A crucial component of this is understanding the behaviour of the electrons that surround the atomic nucleus; these dynamics dominate the way atoms and molecules interact with their environment.
