γδ T cell effector functions: a blend of innate programming and acquired plasticity

M Bonneville, RL O'brien, WK Born - Nature Reviews Immunology, 2010 - nature.com
γδ T cells have several innate cell-like features that allow their early activation following
recognition of conserved stress-induced ligands. Here we review recent observations revealing …

International Union of Pharmacology. XXXII. The mammalian calcitonin gene-related peptides, adrenomedullin, amylin, and calcitonin receptors

…, I Marshall, DM Smith, R Quirion, W Born… - Pharmacological …, 2002 - ASPET
The calcitonin family of peptides comprises calcitonin, amylin, two calcitonin gene-related
