Rhombus - Area. 1  As for all parallelograms, the area K of a rhombus is the product of its base and its height (h). 2  The area can also be expressed as the base squared times the sine of any angle... 3  or in terms of the height and a vertex angle... 4  or as half the product of the diagonals p, q...
Helper T cells augment the immune response by recognizing the presence of a foreign antigen and then stimulating antibody production and producing cytokines that âturn onâ or activate other T cells. Regulatory T cells function in an opposite manner: they dampen or turn off the immune response.
University of Minnesota researchers have discovered a new way to turn genes off in human T cells, a type of white blood cell that helps the immune system fight infections. Turning off genes, through a process known as mRNA decay, is important for regulating the body's immune response after fighting infection.
